As far as I can tell, #3dsdev is still a driving force behind research and 3dbrew documentation. You may not want to piss them off too much or they'll just go back to hogging all the knowledge in private groups.
I've hanged out there for a while, because a lot of knowledge is shared there. I've been helped by others, and have given help.
It's a nice channel, and I've respected their rule for no piracy talk. I'm just sad that some of them couldn't respect my opinions too.
Meh, at least #3dsdev on Freenode still exists as a safe heaven. Not as active though.
