Undernet averages about 10k-15k people... Thats not so small...

The US part of efnet is about 14k-20k people, so its bigger.  But the
sticking point is that as explained before, efnet doesnt allow the
registration of channels.  For someone who only irc's casually and 
doesnt have the desire or ability to "protect" a channel, channel
registration is very effective.

The EU part of efnet averages about 3k-5k people from what ive heard.

This is all just FYI.
