#GBAtemp.net - Move from EFnet to our own server?

[Banger]

So far the yes's have it. But the only way I will join is if host masking and there is vhost, vhost isnt to impotent however host mask is for me

Omg more power that scares me, imagine S____y having more power, that is just scary.

This thread is about moving the #GBAtemp.net channel to a different server - not about other channels.
Don't derail the thread, yo.

We're actually having a pretty good civilized conversation here, that does somewhat have to do with the topic.

Also, I have been informed that if we switch it will be staff only that gets ops

If we were to switch, how do you guys think it would be best to implement the IRC channel into the website?

WHAT??? Did i hear you say no more bots??? What about sp33chy. When I used to go on irc, sp33chy was like the bm of irc. But, I haven't been active on irc in a long time, and last time i went on, sp33chy wasn't there. So, it's a pretty good idea i guess.

Yay for banning with a proper reason, instead of just one person's opinion. Yay for authority, yay for less op abuse because you can.

sp33chy was removed ages ago.
If you wanna know why - PM me

Also, yeah, don't think we will need bots.

The only way available is some sort of Java or possibly Flash application, theres really no other ways basically.

 

[DrKupo]

in that case, I would like to change my vote to "no". Spikey is needed to make sure a few people who can't handle power don't get it.

Id say having a client put on the site, bit it java, cgi or whatever. Not sure what else could be done... Oh how about a release bot, or a pre channel. When a new game is released it will show in a channel, of course wont tell you how to get it. or when a new DS game info is posted on the site. something like that.

Alot of hate getting tossed around for ol' Spikey

 

[tKo HaXoR]

own servers! THATS GREAT! I VOTE FOR THE NEW SERVERS! As long as it is not a piece of shit server that is always down, or crashing, im all for it! Hopefully if it does crash, you guys have a back up so i won't lose posts just like in this one forum i visited daily! I had like 975 or so.

+1 for not banning just because one person thinks it's stupid. That's like banning the testing area..

I already planned on having a bot in the channel that would announce new ROM/Homebrew news posts into the channel and tie the bot into the site and so on.

Also personally, I have no problem with Spikey, I like the fellow. He may not be perfect and hay be a hardass at times, but he keeps the channel organized and sane. Spikey wasn't around for a week once and the channel ended up going to complete chaos real fast and well, it wasn't a fun place to chat anymore. While I may not agree with all his decisions, he has been doing a good job overall with managing the channel.

Anyways, enough off-topic chatter. Please stick to the topic here about possibly moving to another server.

Like the mods on this site are any better.

 

[jgu1994]

I'm pretty sure i know why sp33chy was banned

but, while he was there, it was win.

 

[Prime]

I see what you did there. You swifly moved on the topic so they wouldn't be any more talk on how spikey is abusing his powers.

 

[Sir-Fritz]

I dont realy know what type of features efnet doesnt have, but half the time when i'm on #gbatemp.net no one says anything interesting/atall anyway. Thats why i reckon #gbatemp.ta is more interesting.

How about JPH abusing his power to ban me for calling him a child (he is, it's a fact!) and the other crap he did? Even Spikey wouldn't do that.
