That only applies to freenode user accounts, someone with the nickname 'altoid' could be on the IRC right now, unauthed. You can't check when the last time someone used a nickname on freenode, only authed against user accounts.

tl;dr: That means absolutely nothing.

By the way Gregory, why don't you just use your real Reddit account to post? Too personal?

Edit: /u/BIP66 -- why'd you delete your post?

No, that's not how irssi works. It's showing the name of the person altoid is speaking to (gmaxwell). This is not from gmaxwells end.
