Howdy, folks! At 19:40 UTC+1 today, freenode reached 50,000 active users online, which is a record for us!
Freenode reached 40,000 users a little over a year ago, so we’re really going from strength to strength! Thanks to all of you who’ve helped us build our community over the last year, and we’d like to invite you to #defocus to help us celebrate. 
Congratulation Freenode

Freenode has seemed to have grown over the past year yet again, and I think here is the proof of it.
Very cool! Yay for freenode!
Hi

if someone knows a way for me to get my password back please say something to my email : pedro2080@gmail.com

A lot of folks using a great resource. Keep up the good work! ^_^
Let’s celebrate!
Would be nice if there was at least one staffer on for these 50k users…oh wait…nope. none.
10,000 new users means a lot. I hope we can keep it going in the right direction.
Nice article. Thanks.
