Also, the channel was never meant to be secret, hence the name. It was meant to be a nazi-free place for the LD IRC community free of abusive mods that ruined the other channel. These were the kind of mods that didn't contribute whatsoever to any discussion but would randomly kick/ban etc., on whims for lulz. We've never kicked or banned anyone who found their way into our channel as that was anti-tl.dota policy. We only had Ops to combat any sort of random spammer that might find their way in but thankfully that never happened.

Emulator was the creator of the original irc channel but was more of an absent father who never did anything so the channel died and was reborn as #tl.dota.

I really hope this is all a joke, or you seriously have memory issues.

Me and dead9 did it together, we came up with the name and everything on TS. We were the first two owners although he lost his because of not logging in.

Firebolt was the first to log in and he helped us populate it.

Pretty sure you weren't on IRC for a long ass time so I'm not sure how you could know any differently. The exodus from tl.dota2 was a direct result of mods being shitheads. I think the last 'major' incident was Tephus freaking out on everyone after I told him nobody cares about some random Russian team, who are still as irrelevant today as they were during that argument a year ago or more. I think as a result of that argument, myself, comeh, andre(?) and one other was banned/kicked for a few hours and the core group of active irc users left and never came back which is why tl.dota2's activity flatlined.

The vast majority of the active users decided there was no point in being moderated by people who barely contributed to the channels activity so we made our own. That is the whole story dude, it's not anything more than that. The mods and users from the other channel weren't even banned or not allowed in the new channel, we have 0 kicks or bans in that channel, we simply didn't want to put up with the tl.dota2 mods because there was no reason to do so.

I wish there was more juicy drama or some epic story but it's all really that simple.

I'm talking more about the last line. I was gone for about 1-2 months when all of this happened, and considering the channel had almost 2 years of no moderation where everyone was treated fairly, I think something as simple as messaging me and saying "hey shits going down right now" would have been enough to have me stop it.

You made it sound like that was the case for the channels entire history which is what I was mostly referring to, if you were just referring to those 1-2 months then I take my comment back.
