When was EFnet labelled professional ?
And, you cannot apply the law on a global scale.

Deww: So I won't "clone" on that server.

So, does that mean you clone on other servers?

./slap

kampfire: But those 4 points aren`t justified. The only possible issue here is if that USA HomeLand Security see's an anti-gov domain (hostname) then it might want to ban the domain (this is a long shot) As for the rest, looking dumb is when a user joins #not-a-warez-chan and does !list It may be a ...

I guess the point here is that; If admins block hostnames for their own personal reasons, then it wouldn`t be very fair for the users. Since it won`t prevent an admin and his/her friends from connecting, then so be it. So users have no say and have to follow what that admin decided. But, admins can ...

their ipv6 was put on hold to deal with the abuse

Not that it matters, but this dns "spam" or "pollution" doesn`t bother me. Sure it`s annoying to see, but there are options to hide that. Also, what about those "spam" channels like #dont.whois.me.because.this.is.my.lame.ass.spam.channel.and.you.etc. I seen shell providers with like 30ips and 2 doma...

Basically, if your bots (and you) didn`t have ops for X days while other clients had ops, you are out of luck. Also, ...

Did the swat team , like, come crashing down from every possible angle of your house? Crashing through the windows/doors ?

Anyways, hopefully that shit doesn't continue. Would freak the fuck out of me.

Happy bday chanfix. I'll miss the good old days of riding splits for ops. Spending all that time just waiting and waiting for the moment to jump. Soo many hours wasted :) I would be curious to know the % of chanfix usage within the past 3 years. Meaning, how many times chanfix was called to fix a ch...

6) Don't post to raise your post count. In this vein, no posts with just a smiley, or "LOL", or any other such inanity.

I recommend adding "welcome <new server> to trial link."

let's have a vote:

Yes, I would like to use a number as the first character of my nickname.
No, change is bad.

What was the scale of the ddos ? Seems like a waste of time for some people to get a server up and running, getting it linked, then leaving because of an attack soo quickly. You kind of have to expect some sort of problems at the very begining. New servers are a nice target, but eventually it will s...
