Update on the superfriends #relay:
Now that superfriends has migrated over to #strfry, I've been able to shut down this extra proxy filtering service I had in front of the old relay, which would blacklist known spammers.
In lieu of that, I've ported my proxy filter code into a blacklist plugin for strfry. It's absolutely amazing how extensible this is! I love how I no longer need to run an extra service, and the plugin is called as needed to do the same thing. :catTime:
