there is a webirc project in the works for freenode if i know correctly, its based on quakenets qwebirc (which is a lot nicer then mibbit, but of course YMMV)

The reason people are moving to the new #startups is not to use mibbit's client (I'm using Colloquy on the Mac), but rather to show solidarity for axod.

people are not willingly moving, they are forced to move. So are they showing support or forced to 'show support' ?

Nobody's forced to use the new #startups. You could just as easily start #startups2 and sit by yourself.

Why the generalisation? You don't speak for me.

It's just as easy for me to type /server irc.mibbit.net over /server irc.freenode.net - no forcing involved.
