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

[Banger]

I would think 2 slower servers, well not really slower but maybe cheaper. One for europe people and asia and stuff like that and one for north america. Sorry aussies! To help with ping and such. If there server is hosted in the US people in europe are going to most likely have high ping and maybe instability and same goes if its in europe.

Efnet is where I have other channels on.
So I cant have tabs open.
Also I'll have to completely move DStemp there. Involves stuff to do with them

But then you'll have to learn new commands.

Please don;t do it.

 

[Banger]

New commands? Wow most things will be the exact same. And others you will use once in your life. Oh the horror!

 

[enarky]

As long as the real *temp channels stay where they are I couldn't care less what you're doing to the .net channel.

Actually, Each IRC server has a different set of commands.
you need to code it.
And plus different Bots.

Unless they copy Efnet.


So the flame's on you.

Sentence sense non makes matter no hard read I it.

Was no flame. Most commands used on one IRCd will be used on another. EFnet is an empty shell and does not have commands of other IRCd's but suck it up and learn a few commands not hard...

I have been up for over 36 hours, I am uncaring if you can read what I said or not

You're completely and utterly wrong - the IRC Protocol hasn't changed since 1993. (CTCP isn't part of that spec)

Services aren't commands. You don't have to register your own nick.

 

[Maikel Steneker]

I'd say stay on EFnet, but only because I dislike having to use seperate servers. If you guys would really have advantages this way, go ahead.

 

[phoood]

if the idea is out in the public, then you guys have already seriously thought about it. our opinions really stand for nothing.

drkupo has pretty much said everything that should have been said.
the reason why ta still stands is because spikey is strict, to a fault. but he's a good op, there's no denying that.
there is one person that should always be banned. on the other hand, the channel is pretty much boring so I'm guessing most people wouldn't mind facepalm'ing for a half hour.

 

[dice]

but doing this COULD mean having 8 times the number of visiters we currenly get and obvously some changes in how we manage the members will be affected as a result of it being on here.

What I will tell you is that IF this does ahead, it'll only be done as a trial to see how things work, whilst it is likely that (ONLY) the #gbatemp.net channel is closed to try and avoid a split, it'll always be around should things not work out and we return to how things currently are. Personally I think that it is something that we should all at least try out especially as it has the potential of being even better then the channel we currently have.

 

[WildWon]

I'm all for either our own server or another server. I'm not a huge fan of efnet to begin with, but i REALLY like services, and greater than 9 character nicks is good too (not that *I* need it, but its nice). I enjoy being able to make sure my nick is my nick.


I mean, whichever way this goes, i'm on board... but thats my 2 pennies in the hat.
