IIRC there was a short-lived #conlang on Dalnet. Anyhoo, I would be pleased
as punch if I could get some conlangers over to the net Justin and I
habitually use, WTnet. We already have a channel #languages; that'd probably
do, but maybe a #conlang in addition would be better. Anyway, I'd better
consult with him and the IRC ops first before inviting anyone, but I thought
I would give a quasi-tentative invitation just to let people know WTnet's
probably available.

WTnet's a very small network, and is generally free of spam and channel
hackers. It also doesn't lag or split much, and has its own nickname and
channel registration services, so no need to set up a bot.
