A search earlier today via http://searchirc.com/ gave me an EFnet channel as the only active (22 users), there sure isn't much life on FreeNode. Ofcourse, they still have to respond on efnet, so....
Well I'll be idling in #Plesk on freenode and dal.net regardless. If people join, great if not, oh well.
The forums are a great resource, but IRC is a bit faster in those tough times. I'll try to compile a list of anything resolved in the IRC chan and post either here or elsewhere so it doesn't get lost.
