  Come with me back to IRC land. The water’s fine.

    Only if you want your nick to be reserved, right? At least that’s what Q does on quakenet.

      Yeah, if you don’t worry about someone impersonating your account you don’t have to reserve.

    Normally only bothered if it was somewhere I wanted to return to frequently, otherwise no point registering

  It’s waxed and waned.

  I remember when you had to log into everything, but there wasn’t much to visit. Then people started using the Internet en mas and selling ads was the market maker. So you didn’t need to log in, but you did get the most malicious JavaScript ever written trying to jam pop-ups under your cursor.

  Unless it’s got literally nothing of note on it, I try to make a habit to log into everything manually every time. Some sites find this “suspicious” and make me check my phone and email to get in, which can be a little annoying.
