#vtluug on irc.oftc.net is the LUUG IRC channel. Beginning in 2008, some folks began to idle on irc.freenode.net in #vtluug. In fall 2009, there were generally a dozen LUUG members, alumni and associates on at any given time. Currently, there are often 40 to 50 LUUG members and alumni idling in the channel.
On February 28, 2012, the approximately 30 members in the channel made the decision to migrate to irc.oftc.net due to persistent stability issues with Freenode and some issues that some members had with the staff.
If you have a question, please stick around for a while after asking it; just because no one can help you now does not mean that no one will be able to help you later. Also look at ESR's how to ask questions the smart way.
Previously, we have had stringent rules on the channel, however, experience shows that the community is rather self-moderating. More importantly, the ops actively avoid using /ban
