Response to Motion to change IRC servers for #marp

Net Split: Where two servers split up or something like that and we lose a bunch of people - this would probably not occur on starlink- irc.

Taking over a channel: On EFNet, a stranger can just pop right on in and take the channel over if he's the first one there. This can happen because on EFNet there's no channel service to protect a channel. Although we haven't had that problem yet - it certainly can happen. Starlink-IRC has such a thing to protect a channel.

I have a problem with EFNet's access to people. For me, over 95 % of the servers are inaccessible to me. As a matter of fact, there's only two servers I can connect to. With Starlink-IRC, no restrictions unless you get banned or something.

Finally, you may notice that the room is secret to all the others - this would probably not happen at Starlink-IRC. My point? There's a possibility of getting new players just by dropping by.

Well... that's my 87 cents worth... 51 shillings if you convert it... something like that.
