As an update, we've changed the ban on the web client to a mute on the web client. If you need to join with the FreeNode web client, please send one of the channel operators a PM so we can add a ban exception for you.
Failing that, you can also get a telnet/ssh/web-telnet account on my server, tacgnol. It's a pretty modest system but there's no reason it would have any problems handling as many people from this community that wanted irc access via an :80-accessible telnet gateway, that they could use to gain screen/irssi or ircii access to the channel.
For more information, please join the channel and send a PM to Cory5412-*, um|* or Ulterior-Modem, techfury90 or defor* and we can either add a ban exception for your IP or host, or we can give you an account on tacgnol.
