Ask lilo or any oper personally. They have been "temporarily banning" all Tor 
users whenever a botnet shows up. However, it seems the botnet has been 
showing up constantly, so as long as the botnet is cranking away lilo keeps 
Tor users banned.

#gcc on oftc already exists, actually. They got tired of the bullshit lilo 
pulls. This was more of a request for the rest of #gcc (on freenode) to 
follow along.
