In my opinion, EFnet is much more 31337 than Freenode:
  * You don't need to register a nick
  * There are IPv6 and SSL servers
  * hybrid/ratbox ircds are less buggy than dancer (stats p works etc)
  * Freenode netsplits several times a day
  * EFnet is teh 0r1g1n0l n3twerkzz

Freenode has an empty #nmap channel but it is registered by somebody
so we can't kick spammers, change the topic, etc. I along with a few
other regulars are on EFnet 24/7. I have occassionaly been answering
questions there for the past couple months. My nick is Fractal.
