Banbot
The banbot is a bot authored by aempirei. It joins every public channel on a given IRC network and proceeds to announce the existence of Bantown. It then /invites every user it encounters to #bantown and adds their nick to its queue.
When a nick in the queue joins bantown, it bans them.
The banbot sometimes leads to interesting dialogue with the administrators of the largest IRC networks in the world:

Banbot vs Freenode
18:37 <@BearPerson> freenode is a network about open-source software and other projects of peers helping peers 18:37 -%- mode/#bant0wn [-bb *[email protected] *!*@*] by oclet 18:37 <@oclet> i heard it was for warez 18:37 <@oclet> and pron 18:37 <@BearPerson> you're quite welcome to hang out in the support channels and get or provide support 18:38 <@BearPerson> but we're a bit harsh about warez and spam 18:38 <@oclet> yeah me too 18:38 <@oclet> i hate when people dont pay for software 18:38 <@BearPerson> check out http://irc.netsplit.de/networks/ 18:38 <@oclet> it makes me want to slice my dong with a razor blade 18:38 <@BearPerson> that's probably the most complete list of IRC networks out there 18:39 <@BearPerson> I'm sure you'll find a network that is less harsh about this sort of stuff 18:39 <@oclet> sweet. wanna harass quakenet with me? 18:39 <@oclet> it will be teh l0lz 18:40 <@BearPerson> at least, it will be more appropriate ;-) 18:40 <@BearPerson> you see, quakenet is more IRC and "chaos" oriented than freenode, though not as much as EFnet 18:41 <@BearPerson> freenode is neutral territory. We're here to provide a place for friendly support, which you can use or provide if you want 18:42 <@BearPerson> but we can't be that place if we're constantly running after spammers and cleaning up channel wars 18:42 <@oclet> i'm just here for the pr0n and the warez 18:42 <@oclet> i dont know anything about spam 18:42 <@BearPerson> then you're on the wrong network 18:42 <@oclet> are you a furry? 18:45 <@BearPerson> just keep this off freenode please, okay? 18:45 <@oclet> sure 18:45 <@oclet> tell me when you take the ban off of tor 18:45 <@oclet> so i can do it again
