chebeLet's try a post without pictures for now. How to get an unaffiliated cloak on freenode:
Step 1; register a nickname [as detailed here]
Step 2; join #freenode and wait patiently for a staffer to show up
Step 3; ask politely for a cloak [as here]
Step 4; once cloak is applied, thank your staffer, and check your info
Simple, and awesome. Going to test it from work tomorrow to see how well it works.
*edit* Using the webchat.freenode.net clients still set the realname to something based on your ip, but using a client that sets realname to something silly like 'purple' (hi pidgin), is a pretty good combination.
