Sorry to break your bubble... but: No it isn't.
These bots come from owned hosts, and get the channel name from the server info which happily lists all non-secret channels.
The operators actively battle the bots by k-lining them. (Or well, they are supposed to do this slave job for us atleast, it's the only thing they have to do apart from spying on us).
These bots do NOT cache the channel names. They get them after connecting to the server. (Yes I know... we reversed some of them recently)
P.S. Since you are a guy with ops YOU made the mistake by not having the channel +s in the first place.
And thanks for making it +s now, lets hope it gets resolved now for the common good.
Regards,
Mike

Damn dude, you are a worse troll than me... :P
The fact is, freenode is so laggy with, but not restricted to, nickserv registrations... that the thing called "perform" in most irc clients is messed up, when using it to join some channels. Which can be useful when you are not on a very stable or 24/7 connection, such as dial-up or hong-kong based broadband connections ;)
Other than that, it sucks to have it this way... but I know it is a problem with the spambots. Having the channel +s might be a better way to "fight" spambots, without putting a restriction on the users.

Hi,
I figured it out. Most IRC channels requiring some authentication give a minute's latitude to allow for slow response from nickserv. It seems #asterisk is not doing that. You really must wait for nickserv to say you are registered before you issue a /join #asterisk.
You can't login to an ssh session until you are authenticated, why would IRC be any different?
