Yes they control spamming by blocking whole countries out. Many networks
simply do not allow you on with a Thai IP address. This might also be
the case for other countries. Also people need to register their nicks
again. Which might be taken on other networks already. Moving over after
all of these years is not something to consider lightly.

Yes, but setting up IRC channels on many networks that
are more accessible
than Freenode, (and have better policies to control trolling and spamming,)
is easy and free, and even if we were to set up IRC on our own domain, it
takes a miniscule amount of bandwidth.

Bandwidth cost money. Lets allow Freenode PDPC to be gracious enough to
donate it. For that I am thankful.
