irc.winbolo.com revamp

Irc.winbolo.com now has services (Nickserv, Chanserv, etc) allowing better control over your channel.

We currently have four game bots running (Minbot, North, Pwnybot, and Renbot with more planned for the future).

You can access the irc server from the web even at school behind a proxy and without java.

Check it out.

more goodies are planned as well ... stay tuned.

Send me money via paypal. Kthx.

also, for those of you who care, I'm going to be sticking around #winbolo on .com for awhile to see how things go ....

Min

One of those "goodies" Min is talking about is an irc policy.

Would another goodie be a link between irc.winbolo.com and irc.winbolo.us?

Hopefully thats not one of the goodies.

why would we do that? ....

Min

in fact before i left there was talk of linking .us to .com

Just wondering where that stood. Would be easier for new players to join one central channel with everyone in it.

We're certainly not the ones who created that problem.

Moving my place in history elsewhere.

I also cant wait for the day when everyone in that channel controdicts themselves and starts opping renbot..

Sensible, but you're throwing propane canisters on old fires here, Hood. Besides, it would require that everyone get along, which....well, it would be easier to build new WTC towers out of ogre snot than make that happen.

It's obvious to me that jhood is bitter because he has been subject to winbolo.us propaganda and he has exerienced none of these things for himself.

Excellent! I'll see you there!

Just curious. Propaganda?

here you go making wild assumptions again .... you honestly don't truly understand the situation do you? ..... you automatically assume it has to do with people not getting along. Winbolo history lesson for you, irc.winbolo.com is running an old version of the hybrid ircd, winbolo.us is running a new version of unreal ircd, the hybrid ircds functionality is pretty bad(lots better now that it has services) Its impossible to link these two irc servers together. If we wanted to form a link, one server or the other would have to change what software its running, LRL undoubtably doesn't want to run antiquated ircd software, and the fellow who runs .com isn't interested in upgrading to a different peice of ircd software, it would take too much of his time. (His nick is ten, just for informational purposes). So the problem with attempting this link has nothing to do with "getting along" it has to do with software incompatiblity, and time.

Obviously you are if another server had to be created with a policy because others felt intimidated by egotistical operators who kick ban with no reason..

uh, .us was created long before it had a policy, or for any of the other reasons you mentioned here .... it wasn't created for the purpose of helping people who "felt intimidated by egotistical operators" nice try though. I guess you've been around the irc community long enough now to know all about everything that has gone on in the past ....... right?

.::jhood::. wrote:

There are posts on this forum describing your channel as 'un-friendly' which can be displayed even outside of your server as one of your ops told Dark Dwarf he was a nobody because he killed a game.

uh, some of .us op's have said much harser things for much less reasons in the past ... so whats the point here? ... that DD shouldn't have been reprimanded for doing something he shouldn't have out of revenge? .... interesting ....

.::jhood::. wrote:

Why, because you might have to deal with things on a more mature level taking away your time to type your 'lrl sux cock coz teh fag sayz so' messages?

no, becuase you would then nodoubt attempt to force us to adhere to the "policies" governing .us which I feel are inadequate. Which is why we're going to make our own. Pretty simple eh? .... you don't like something ... so you attempt to change it ...

Sorry, but those two events have nothing in common except me. Now please continue with giving FireIce a sloppy blowjob as that seems to be the only thing you're good for around these parts. Thanks.

Its pretty funny that here we are trying to improve the winbolo enviroment, and people around here have nothing good to say, they just spewing negative comments, especially about stuff they have no idea about. Why don't you boys try to improve things rather than degrading them?

Some good info there. :) But I'm not automatically assuming anything. My ideas are rooted in forum history fact. You called .us a 'ruthless dictatorship' and have made references to LRL, sheeps, and FI 'screwing things up in the first place.' Oh, and if we're getting along and the problem is ONLY with software incompatibility, then what purpose does this post have: Ryan Brody: 'shuthefuckupandiepainfullykthnxbye.' Your forum history is riddled with insults, bashing, cleverly concealed taunts, etc. And then I see you made several posts about being sick of all the flaming, to paraphrase. Reality check: Hypocrasy is a credibility-killer. Learn to avoid it. Speaking of credibility, I have covered the 'defending a friend who spews hate and racism' topic already. So you see, you have also assumed a great many things. One of which is that I'm not intelligent enough to see through you. You have ASSUMED I can't read the forum history. You ASSUME I know nothing because I haven't been here as long as you. And you have assumed you are 100% right in everything you do. Software incompatibility is relevant, yes. But to turn a blind eye to the real issue is like slapping yourself in the face...hey quit that...it's gonna leave a mark min! :)

:idea: uhh yea: :cry: boo-frickidy-hoo
do we really have time to stand for this nonsense

Acro: Were you there in .com when everything happened? You claim in a previous post that on your first visit that you didn't like it and didn't return. You slam min because of forum posts, yes, I'm sure you can read, you look like an old guy and not some little kindergartener, but just because you can read what is said on the forums doesn't mean you know everything that happened, or everything that was said in private, like I said before, I think it's time you shut up, because not only do you not know shit about anything, you weren't there, you didn't experience what happened, you read bits and pieces, and you listen to what others say on .us, but just because you hear half truths and partial stories doesn’t mean that you know full truths and whole stories .... Did you ever play the game "telephone" where you sit in a big circle and have one person say something and when it gets around the circle the last person heard either something totally different or a variant of what was originally said? Well, this is what is happening here, except you, even though the first person tells you that you are wrong, and tells you what they really said; you refuse to believe it because you have to be right, because you heard it from the person next to you.

I honestly have no idea weither it is ... that was just something people said to me a hell of alot when I was around .. and decided at that particular moment to say it ..... *shrug* what can I say, just stiring things up a bit.

Acro wrote:

there is alot of truth in that statement .... in regards to LRL and FI ... sheeps has done nothing but good things for this community as far as I can tell.

its mainly software incompatibility ...

how is this relevant to linking the servers? ... your right ... my forum history is riddled with insults, bashing, and cleverly concealed taunts ... whats your point? ... about a week ago I decided to try and clean up some of the stuff I was saying on these forums, and a day ago I decided to rejoin the ircing winbolo ranks .... what I've said in the past on this forum doesn't nessicarily reflect how I actually feel .. alot of it was sarcastic, or cyncial .. or just flamebait .. you know why? .. becuase I stopped caring what you and everyone else thinks of me .. at that point I simply started saying whatever I felt like at any given time, which usually means it doesn't have any continutity

yep .. how I actually feel .....

uh ... this forum hasn't been around for that long bigguy ... and hardly reflects whats actually happened in the winbolo community ... since we only started using it heavily about the same time I left #winbolo. so what makes you think reading a few forum posts will automatically fill you in on all the details? .. becuase we talk about some of the things that happened? ... is that what your basing your opinions on? ...... I thought you were an adult.

I've never assumed I'm 100% right, I've made plenty of mistakes, and my wife proves me wrong on a dayly basis .... what makes you think I make any assumption of this nature? .. or is this just a bad attempt at insulting me ......

If anyone here is turning a blind eye to the real issue .. its you .. why don't you just leave me alone?
