Yeah, I got into Mysteria _right_ after it died, turns out there were channels with 20 or so people in it. O.o
There were two people in #srb2, can't remember who. But as of late, I can't get in at all, which sucks, because most of my clan has now completely lost contact with each other, other then phone. >.>
Personally, I'm going to join neither side of the argument and say I don't like either server. On EsperNet, channel registration was a pain, and after I got my channel registered and configured, it was nuked the next day for some reason. However, EsperNet's all nice and tidy and secure, and I don't have to wait around 30 seconds to get in (Ident on AccessIRC hangs for some reason). Mysteria was good, too bad it got bot-attacked. I hope the same won't happen to AccessIRC / EsperNet, because channel moving's always a pain.
And might I say huzzah, I have an avatar.
