EFnet

EFnet or Eris-Free network is a major IRC network, with more than 35,000 users. It is the modern-day descendant of the original IRC network.

History

Initially, most IRC servers formed a single IRC network, to which new servers could join without restriction, but this was soon abused by people who set up servers to sabotage other users, channels, or servers. Restriction grew and, in August 1990, eris.berkeley.edu was the last server indiscriminately allowing other servers to join it.

A group of operators, with the support of Jarkko Oikarinen, introduced a new "Q-line" into their server configurations, to "quarantine" themselves away from eris by disconnecting from any subset of the IRC network as soon as they saw eris there.

For a few days, the entire IRC network suffered frequent netsplits, but eventually the majority of servers added the Q-line and effectively created a new separate IRC net called EFnet (Eris-Free Network); the remaining servers which stayed connected to eris (and thus were no longer able to connect to EFnet servers) were called A-net (Anarchy Network). A-net soon vanished, leaving EFnet as the only IRC network.

PLAYLIST TIME:

I'm Sorry

by: Avant

I know I was wrong and then I feared
Playin' games with your mind, 'cause I knew you cared
Walking out of the door, every other night
And I knew two wrongs wouldn't make a right
Now things have changed and what you feel is not the same
I thought we could make ends meet
But you can't stand no more pain
And now I know babe, and it is me
I'm lonely and here is where I want you to be
A woman like you, is too precious to lose
And I am confused, what will I do?
Baby, I love you and
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
I never knew what true love was
'Til you left me and now the thought of
You with someone else, hurts me deeply
I try to keep those thoughts out my mind
But I think about you all the time
Where is our love, I must be out of my mind?
What else can I do to prove our love to you?
I'm going crazy baby, and your love made me
I never should have done you wrong, now I'm sittin' here all alone
You should feel my pain and for you I'll change
Can I have a second try? 'Cause without you what am I
And I know you don't want to see a grown man cry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm sorry, I done you wrong
And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone
(That's right)
See I got myself together now
So you don't have to worry about me runnin' 'round
(Runnin' around)
I'm sorry I done you wrong
And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone
(That's right)
See I got myself together now
So you don't have to worry about me runnin' around
(You don't have to worry no more, babe)
I'm sorry, I done you wrong
(I'm sorry)
And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone
(I'm sorry, I'll be right here, yeah)
See I got myself together now
(I'm sorry, so please)
So you don't have to worry about me runnin' around
(I'm so sorry)
I?m sorry, I done you wrong
And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone
(That?s right)
See I got myself together now
So you don?t have to worry about me runnin' 'round
