irc: bad link sending to porn site, maybe domain changed ownership

[june07]

Whilst trying to use IRC today I ran across this in the #node-dev channel. The banner gives a link to http://nodeirc.info (see attachment)... but I don't think that is Node.js material.

Domain history shows that the domain was used before for Node.js so not sure what happened:
https://web.archive.org/web/20180809005727/http://nodeirc.info/

Similar PR opened in node codebase nodejs/node#24967.

I think this change needs to be made to the Freenode account...

cc @ljharb @MylesBorins since you are the current ops in #node-dev.

Already updated in #node.js; just did it in #node-dev.

Seems like link is removed on node.js. Can we close this issue?

[fhemberger]

Checked, link has been deleted on both channels. Closing.

It’d be great to get the same info rehosted somewhere else tho.
