Dick Entry for “Netsplit”
-
What happens when a chain of IRC servers breaks – if one becomes unsynched from the rest then half the people in your channel “split” off and vanish. In olden days, IRC pirates used to ride in on netsplits with ops and seize power from you and theive your channels, but then the server admins decided to stop all that malarkay and IRC became infinitely less fun
