You are correct. This will drive everyone away. Which is why we have graphs like this:

Freenode is dying and the staff are actively killing it.

That’s an amazing drop in users!

Thanks for that link - I was on Undernet starting in 1995 and even though the charts only went back to 1998 it was interesting to see the popularity of different IRC networks wax and wane over the years.

At what threshold would you change it? A thousand users? Three users?

Doesn't make sense. If its dying why bother killing?
