DarkeSword Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Yeah.I still think irc.ocremix.org would be solid. They've got OCR servers they could run it off of! There is no reason to run and administer our own IRC server when there are plenty of good, reliable IRC servers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 There is no reason to run and administer our own IRC server when there are plenty of good, reliable IRC servers out there.

Cyril the Wolf Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 like espernet Oh Bleck, you speak short words of wisdom in this thread. EDIT: okay, so I was just reminded of why I probably subconsciously stopped hanging around espernet. My vote goes to Freenode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtuse Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I like Free Node for a few reasons... #ubuntu is on it and constantly has over 1000 users. It is highly reliable. as discussed before ... Unlike ETG, you can have MULTIPLE connections to the same network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Koopa Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Another cool thing about freenode is it offers "project cloaks" so you can assign a hostname of like @OCReMix/ReMixer to a group of people. This means that any OCReMix staff or mixers would have easy cloaks that work right regardless of grouping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Koopa Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Vimk, Xerol and I and a few others put together a list of issues with ETG and reasons why freenode is preferable to any alternatives. Problems with ETG Connection limit of 3, combined with connectivity issues and massively delayed ping timeouts (10-15 minutes). Inconsistent administrative support Frequent netsplits Lack of NickServ Limited ChanServ usage. Operators cannot manipulate auto ops or voices easily. Ridiculous blacklists of IP ranges Blocks most mobile connections, Mibbit Lack of spam detection/blocking G-lines run off an automated 3-strikes rule system which yields frequent false positives Why freenode Is the Best Choice Quite possibly the most stable server available. Handles 65k people daily. Netsplits are scarce (once or twice a year). Has servers worldwide. Ping timeout rate significantly lower (about 4 minutes). Many people already use freenode Availability of NickServ Saner ChanServ allowing more freedom of control for operators/channel owners over their own channel. Contains many helpful features absent such as the option for Channel can be set so that ops are only opped when needed. This will prevent users from doing things against the rules only when ops are not around. Also, this should significantly reduce spontaneous kicks and/or bans. This should also reduce tension caused by statuses that make one user seem more important than another. Provides groups which are designed to be tied to community groups, such as "operator" or "remixer"; this allows as much information to be tied to a specific user as necessary through their hostmask. This can be useful in organizing the IRC community as well as for remix projects.

Vimk Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 There's also the slight problem of only asking forum goers' opinions on irc servers. I know there is a pretty big chunk of people on our irc who never even touch the forums. I mean, how often does anyone see me post here?

Tensei Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Nope, espernet, not freenode. freenode already has my nick registered and has a 16-character nickname limit. If I can find 2 significant flaws within minutes of logging on, it can't be good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I say freenode, unless you all want to deal with bluefox. I never have, but judging from the quotes Iggy's saved into his bots on his channel... It might be funny, but it would get old after a while. Do we really need that?

Mirby Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Unlike ETG, which doesn't have staff... or so it seems about 99.999999999999% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zircon Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Indeed - bluefox used to come to #ocremix on ETG. He got banned. Simple as that. There's no issue with having to "deal" with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconiator Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 If we are indeed moving, I looked at Freenode, and I can log on there, no problems. While I'm STILL banned on ETG (go figure ) Espernet would be my first choice, but aforementioned "people" (Bluefox, there's a rumor going around with an old group of friends on Esper that he got arrested for child porn once:neutral:) are going to change my vote. I vote Freenode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Guys. Stop complaining about Bluefox. Bans are going to carry over so he won't be showing up whichever server we move to. He is not and should not be a factor in server choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Well seeing as how a /topic in the server window reveals that there's already an #ocremix on freenode I guess this has already been decided. Eh, you can have it. I'm gonna stay lurkermode on ##4eCO and no I'm not telling you what nick I'm using so people can't come and bug me for no reason.

Monobrow Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 The channel has been pre-regged on several servers... It's not decided yet. Freenode is just a lot of people's opinion in a thread right now. This is active discussion *_* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
