See, this is exactly the problem. Presumably in response to this, Neil's added a poll to the website this evening, but failed to tell anyone in here. Communication.
I can only guess it's to settle this once and for all, so to everyone, if you think it's sensible to use Freenode as irc host, along with some other 2178 linux user groups who do, vote #DCGLUG (Freenode) at
http://www.dcglug.org.uk/irc-poll
(Currently 14 users and good activity in there)
And for it to have any meaning and avoid accusations of cheating, please can the voting names be shown at the conclusion of the poll, whenever that is?
