That's the counter example?

A channel with one day logged in 2024, then nothing for two years, then nine days logged in 2022, five days logged in 2021, etc?

What about big tech channels like, say, nodejs and javascript?

I’m not exactly sure why you think that matters. Everyone in those channels have logs that any program can read.

The point that I am making is that the capability and software exists, even for others to view, if you want. I mean: did you need an account or specialised client for these logs?

Thats the point.

Be the change you want to see if you want archives uploaded. Or, do what others do: grep your local files or znc logs.
