just to enlighten some people a little perhaps about why free access via 
bbses and such to irc & other fun stuff it becoming harder and harder to 
get. . .

basically, it's because stupid people are hacking these systems!  this is 
true for nyx & for several other sites!

as more and more members of the public (and thus the bbs hacking 
community) are getting access to the internet, they are fucking things up 
for the rest of us. . .

the internet is a whole different world from bbses. . .it may be cool on 
bbses to try to hack stupid systems, because if the sysop figures out that 
people are hacking his system, he'll just fix it. . .no big loss since the 
system was prolly not worth using at all anyway. . .

but hacking sites which give out free accounts on the internet?  come on 
folks, it doesn't take half a brain to realize that THIS IS A USEFUL 
SERVICE!  hacking these systems, or using them to hack other places is 
just gonna result in tighter access. . .
