aaronpkthe IRC network has a limit of how many nicks can join from a single IP address. the discord gateway joins as many as it can directly, then when it hits the limit, it starts routing all the messages through the single IWDiscord user
aaronpktechnically that would work, but I don't really want to tell all the people who join via IRC to have to connect to a special server. I would estimate we'd lose about 80% of people that way

[Joe_Crawford]I was disappointed to see that DDG seems like it used to have a page describing how one could use their search for a static site by installing a form but it seems to have gone. Google seems to still offer that. That may be a lab article I work on next, a Google, bing, DuckDuckGo search form generator. Not sure a universal one would work but may be fun to try.
[Joe_Crawford]The url and query parameters are far less likely to change. But whether DDG encourages people to use html from DG to use them for site-specific search, has.
[Joe_Crawford]Iβm the search vein, I watched a video on an old SGI Indigo and the creator used http://frogfind.com to search the web. Itβs DDG under the hood, stripped down HTML and no HTTPS. A reminder of the malleability of the web.
