Daylene Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hey everyone, I was just wondering, I have a small stable irc network running linux on all servers with no netplits. I wanted to know if we could move the neowin channels there. We have a server capacity of 10,000 users, possibly more. I would like to move to get us in a place with no warez and no competition (forum chans). Chans would be easy to maintain, as if we do move I will set you all (admins) as irc cops for the network. What do you think? c&c please. btw, if you wanna take a look, it's server: irc.neverdream.net channel (main) #neverdream btw, we run chanserv ,nickserv memoserv etc. Our average number of users on a given day is 50 some odd and on weekends around 60.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted August 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 10, 2004 We don't have an official IRC. Our official chat is the java chat we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daylene Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 can we make this one official? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptiPlex Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 can we make this one official? Why even bother when we got IPB Chat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtremz Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Yeh and if we got a official, I know the admins/mods would set up irc.neowin.net or something like that (Probaly). If not, Use the chat. No point of getting a IRC server/channel when you already have a IPB chat that you pay/payed for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 can we make this one official? IRC Requires constant Moderation. Neowin doesn't have the staff to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzai Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 But IRC is so much better than java Chat, if this dose go ahead we would need a link to it cuz at the mo their no link to an irc for neowin. I give irt the thumbs up and would use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 If Neowin really wanted to they could run their own IRC network, due to SM/TP releasing an updated TOS stating that people can run IRC servers. And anyway, the current chat is fine as it is and I see this thread as an effort to spam your IRC network to boost your userbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boffa Jones Veteran Posted August 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 10, 2004 it kinda sucks though because having our chat is useless because no one uses it... like i have been going in but no one is really ever around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxBoy Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 An IRC chatroom will never become successful unless it's officially endorsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daylene Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 it kinda sucks though because having our chat is useless because no one uses it... like i have been going in but no one is really ever around me too, I agree with you there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daylene Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 maybe we can make an "unofficial" irc room, then if it is popular, it becomes official? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshalus Veteran Posted August 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 10, 2004 We will not endorce any IRC network as official that is outside the control of our servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 We will not endorce any IRC network as official that is outside the control of our servers. That can be possible now, but that depends fully upon the admins. And even then I doubt they would do it, as IRC servers are prone to attacks.

giga Veteran Posted August 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 10, 2004 The reason why I dont go on Neowin IPB Chat: 1. It uses Java 2. It's a large download for dial-up users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
