Irc network move

[Roph]

RMRK's #crankeye IRC chat channel is moving from AcidChat to the newly merged Slacked/Staticbox.

RMRK does not actually host its own IRC network as it may seem at a glance, the "irc.rmrk.net" that people are instructed to connect to is merely a forward for whatever network the channel is currently on. This makes it easy for users, since if they configure their clients to connect simply to "irc.rmrk.net", they'll automatically always end up at the right locaiton. RMRK's Java chat has already been setup.

A news post is still needed though, to let people know who connect directly (if you were connecting to irc.acidchat.net, you should now connect to either irc.slacked.org or irc.staticbox.net. Ideally, use irc.rmrk.net), and to let people know that they will need to re-register their nicknames.

Why move?

- Niche. Slacked/Staticbox is more gaming orientated, they already support various game dev sites out there, and they were happy at the proposition to accept us
- More feature rich. Now we will finally have a decent auto-voice solution, logging, statistics, and also bots. None of these are ran by users, they run on the network itself.
- Stability

Do I need to change anything?

If you join chat and connect to irc.rmrk.net and still find yourself in the old channel on the old network, you could wait for your DNS to update with the new location (you don't need to do anything, just wait and try later), or for now connect directly to irc.slacked.org or irc.staticbox.net.

Since it will come up

Yes, slacked is the home of #rmxp and hbgames.org. We're aware there was possible conflict in the past, but the entire site has both been revamped and had a change of management, and now both sides' administration shares a friendly relationship. You are advised to read more on our hbgames.org article.

Sweet, we can spam each other's channels.

[Nightwolf]

Oh great, i got on the acidchat with difficulties.

[Esmeralda]

These new people are weirder than the old ones

These new people are weirder than the old ones

I know. But I suppose it's not that big of a deal. If they stick around, I can live with it. But hopefully someone like chewey will scare them away. I hope so, I don't think I'm going to like them. And this bot of theirs is already getting on my nerves.

[Zylos]

Go figure. The one week that I have unblocked access to the IRC, something like this happens...

[Sophist]

They are cool people and I think Shadow is a mod over at .org. They seemed cool whenever it was just them, Roph and I in the channel.

;o;

[Arrow]

I've been speaking with them for the last couple of days Halo, they're fun people.

[Esmeralda]

BUT THEY'RE WEIRD

Funny how you grow attached to a couple of trannies

[Roph]

I've been a regular in their #slackers channel for like a year and a half, they're all nice =o

[Kokowam]

Maybe they just love their channel a lot ?_?

[haloOfTheSun]

Hey, I'm glad we moved. And now that that bot isn't in there it's even better. And they are nice. That doesn't mean they aren't weird and a bit defenseive. Um.... defensive too!

BUT it doesn't matter. It's 3i5485710846x better than being invaded by trannies.

[Sophist]

SARAH SASCHA AND EGO

[ahref]

the nickserv there is harsh THRITY SECONDS TO IDENTIFY OR I LOCK YOUR NICK

shouldnt be a problem with autoidents but still

[Kokowam]

/msg nickserv release (username) (password)

For future references to other people. But it is annoying. But then again, it gives a reason to have a password on the nickname. Actually prevents id theft, lol.

[haloOfTheSun]

But if someone tries to be you and doesn't put a pass in you should be able to ghost them. And if they wait long enough without putting the pass in they get their nick changed.

[Kokowam]

Unless they're on and you're off.

[haloOfTheSun]

And if they wait long enough without putting the pass in they get their nick changed.

[Nightwolf]

This sucks. I can't log in to this IRC.


DO SOMETHING SILVER ;-;

[haloOfTheSun]

I edited Roph's post with a link to the channel stats.

[Kokowam]

You can edit an admin's posts? POWER! You can edit my posts too!

[Nightwolf]

SILVERLINE DO SOMETHING ;-;

I'LL GIVE YOU FREEDOM FROM MY SPAM FOR LEIK A MONTH!

[Tsunokiette]

Is it just me or is something wrong with the IRC's host server?

[Arrow]

A part of it is having an issue, but they're working on that right now.

[Nightwolf]

There is some serious problem

it never took so many days to get it right

help ;-;
