+freenode is currently experiencing a large-scale nuisancebot infestation. We've temporarily removed the **irc.freenode.net** rotation, but you can find us on [chat.freenode.net](irc://chat.freenode.net/). If you're a client developer or you run an IRC network list site, please do not list this new hostname without first emailing **staff at freenode dot net** to make sure it's okay to do so. Apologies for the inconvenience, and thank you for using the network!
