#therpgsite

Kyle Aaron · January 30, 2009, 08:29:15 PM

And after my largely netless month, I'm back and in #therpgsite regularly now. Come along!

Warthur · February 04, 2009, 06:03:34 AM

So Kyle, why am I banned from #therpgsite?

Kyle Aaron · February 04, 2009, 06:04:55 AM

Okay, what did you guys do?

When I left a few hours ago, the chan was happily chugging along. Now I tried to sign in, and,

* You were kicked from #therpgsite by ChanServ (This channel may not be used.)
Then a PM,

Visit #Forbidden to read the network rules, and be sure to review your motd. This network does not allow channels like #therpgsite. Thank you.

Okay, I'll bite.

* Now talking in #forbidden
* Topic is 'Forbidden Channel help.'

So, what the fuck did you lot do in my absence? Or did some moron report us? If so, that cunt ought to fuck off to rpg.net where the report button is attached to sex toys to encourage people to use it a lot.

And you're not, warthur. Nobody's banned, the chan itself is.

Warthur · February 04, 2009, 06:07:12 AM

That's fucking weird.

All I saw was that you entered the room, then ChanServ banned you, then I got banned. Before, Silverlion and I were talking about how he hasn't been getting much sleep and I don't get to talk to people very often on the channel because most people are asleep when I'm about thanks to the time zones.

Silverlion · February 04, 2009, 06:21:35 AM

I don't know but I'll check into it.

Kyle Aaron · February 04, 2009, 06:34:28 AM

No response from the people in #magicstar. Their webpage claims them to be a "family oriented network." That means they're American and sensitive to everything. Well, fuck 'em.

Let's change to the server,

irc://austnet/

Rules?

"* The server admins will take no liability for what transpires on this server."

That's the Australian way. Austnet!

"IRC is an unmoderated medium. No AustNet server, staff member or provider logs or scrutinizes the traffic which passes through the servers. We take no responsibility, and explicitly disclaim any legal liability for the content of any messages which pass through any AustNet server [...]

"IRC may not be suitable for children. Please supervise your child’s IRC session."

StormBringer · February 04, 2009, 09:55:53 AM

Did you ask one of the Ops in #magicstar what happened?

Silverlion · February 04, 2009, 12:25:09 PM

I managed to log in today with no problems. No reason why. I suspect it was just a glitch.

StormBringer · February 04, 2009, 04:19:55 PM

I would assume. I've dealt with the Server Ops before, they are pretty good folks. If they suspected some violation, they would have had somebody in there to confirm. I am pretty sure there have been Server Ops in #rpgnet to verify a problem or root out a problem child in the past.

Silverlion · February 04, 2009, 05:07:47 PM

The response was too many bad attempts to put in the password for the room registry. This was my fault as I think I gave Kyle the wrong password. So all blame falls to me.

Ah, I see. Tell him not to try the same password that fails fifteen times in a row.

I'm here in AUSTNET's #therpgsite. Given the tone of therpgsite, it seems better to use a server which says, "hey, you're responsible for what you do, and for what your kids do," than a server which says, "we're family friendly."

For me its too big a pain to have IRC connected to multiple servers or two windows open to deal with it, without a really good reason and I already have an RPGchat room on Magicstar to deal with. However, don't mind me.

Have fun gents.

Can I recommend pidgin? It's compatible with a heap of different operating systems, and setting up multiple IRC servers on it is a breeze. You can even set it up so that all the chats open in tabs in the same window.

Kyle - what are the details for the austnet room? And can I get to it from eu.austnet.org, or do I have to connect to a different address? I've not seen anyone in there (including you, and we're in vaguely compatible time zones).
