849bdd6f 12On or around Friday, October 2nd, we shall be cleaning up the services database. This involves the bulk removal of expired nicks, channels and accounts.

849bdd6f 14Therefore, please remember to identify to services when you connect ( /msg nickserv help identify ) and to use your grouped nicks whilst identified - remember, they all expire separately.

849bdd6f 16Nicks that are past the expiry threshold of 120 days unidentified on October 2nd will be freed from the database and available for others to register.
