doublejoin	<reply> Your IRC client is completing NickServ authentication after joining channels, which triggers a fake quit and rejoin to apply your cloak and increases channel noise. The best way to avoid this is to use SASL (https://freenode.net…swer/sasl) - further alternatives are CertFP (https://freenode.net…r/certfp), and server password ("<account>:<password>")	knome Added on: 2013-04-13 22:19:45 Last edited by krytarik Last modified: 2017-04-03 21:35:21 Requested 40 times
nickfork-#ubuntu-offtopic	a silly little game for offtopic channels ONLY. The way it works is you pick out a random nick from the /names list (works best if they're idle), have a bunch of people switch to something similar (scrambles, reverse, 1337speak), and see how long it takes for the real person to catch on. Have fun!	tonyyarusso Added on: 2008-02-20 09:55:16 Last edited by rww Last modified: 2011-04-06 06:16:22 Requested 14 times

synergy-#ubuntuforums	<reply> Synergy is a means for the best threads on forums around the internet to be read by the masses. When a community admin or one of their delegated usergroups submits a thread, it enters the forum's "submission queue". Once every x hours (this number will be variable and based upon a number of factors) a thread from the queue will be accepted by the system at Zoints.com and then propagated across all Sy	PriceChild Added on: 2007-02-08 21:54:59 Never edited Requested 4 times
