Draconiator Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I've been browsing around on the forums and I've noticed that at least 2, possibly 4 or more (not including me) are banned from ETG due to their arseholish rules. The IRC server I come from (Espernet) I have not had any problems with whatsoever since I got wireless in 2004. I've been PMing/AIMing people about this, and they say you won't move no matter what. But think of Mirby, Arcana, and others who want to get on but can't due to EnterTheGroan. In my 10+ years of IRC experience, I haven't found a better place than Esper. Been there even before 2004 when I still had dialup (and the house was occasionally filled with the sweet sound of modem handshaking noises). What do you people think?

Iggy Koopa Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 rizon sucks too. Again, how about freenode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Rei Maru Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Honestly, I'd move to pretty much anywhere as long as it has a nickserv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obtuse Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I dig espernet. I hated ETG this summer. I got hit by a spam bot and then ETG was using a bunch of different services that said i was a spam bot. It took forever to get let on again after fixing the issue. The other issue I had was I had 2 devices on the network. By default ETG only allows 3 devices or they just straight up ban you and you have to sit there and wait for a mod to be there so you can be unbanned. I would get banned when my internet crapped out and i reconnected. Since the old connection didn't timeout, i would get banned. I doubt this move will ever take place Draconiator. Why are you still banned? Have you asked the Mods to get let back on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Moving could be a good idea. It seems that the number of those unable to join #OCReMix is gradually increasing. If enough people approve of the notion, this would have to be proposed to djpretzel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekofrog Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 While I don't really care about any of the people you listed, ETG has got to be the worst IRC network I have ever seen. I would 100% endorse a move to another server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconiator Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 I don't really care WHERE we go, as long as it isn't ETG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Eh well you're not making the best argument for moving just for Mirby and Arcana! Haha I kid, I love you Arcana But yeah, irc.ocremix.org would be fantastic and I think that'd be a solid idea. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zircon Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I really don't get why people have trouble with ETG. I've been on the #ocremix channel since 2003. I've used it from dozens of computers and internet connections and I've never had any problems whatsoever. Literally not once, on any coast, in any state. That being said, I don't like ETG because it doesn't have a real chanserv/nickserv. So I'm down with a move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Whelchel Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 That being said, I don't like ETG because it doesn't have a real chanserv/nickserv. I'd vote for espernet as well, but anything with a nickserv is good. That said, ETG works fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necrotic Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I've never liked ETG's policies and like people said, lack of NickServ and stuff is annoying. It's probably close to one of the worst IRC networks of that size that I've been on. I get so frustrated watching how often other people have issues with the network. It's not bad enough that I would hate it if we stayed, but I would honestly prefer a move. I really don't get why people have trouble with ETG. Nobody does get why. That's why ETG is a shitty network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I second EsperNet just because that's the one server I use fuck yeah #mod_shrine, #theshizz and #renoise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I guess I'll also throwdown a vote for Espernet. Let's not forget #dwellingofduels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpretzel Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Lemme ask a n00b question: Way back before OCR was a gleam in my eye, I (don't laugh) spent time on EFNet on #anime and #ranma or something like that, talking about anime and how rad it was, etc. One of those chans had just migrated from another network, and they actually had a bridge bot that allowed some sort of cross-server communication. I don't remember it working particularly well, but it existed. Is there anything like that out there, that could smooth any potential migration? Also, are DALnet and undernet still options?

Monobrow Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Freenode is the only good irc server. Efnet is trashy. Full of botnets, piracy, and hacker chat. Freenode has the best services (nickserv wow!) and is HUGE and never goes down. Its the clear choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyril the Wolf Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I vote for Espernet, I used to hang out there a lot, but don't because I'm lazy and don't like having multiple windows open if I can help it. On the other hand, I don't know anything about this subject other than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
