Phoenix Network Forums

I was just wondering what the reason was for removing irc services?

I am quite used to working without services - I have been using undernet for years quite happily.

My problem is with #idlerpg on the phoenix network. I can only run one bot on phoenix - and that is idlerpg - not a channel gaurd bot. I don't want to have to get another shell account just to keep the channel going smoothly. Chanserv made things simpler. It is easy enough to op yourself when you are an ircop, but when you aren't it is annoying trying to keep a channel going, especially when the irc server crashes often. I like keeping idlerpg opped primarily so idlerpg can voice users so we know easily if we are logged in. When the irc server crashes next time, how do I reop it, do I have to ask an ircop everytime?

You are permitted to run an eggdrop as well.

the better for your chan is eggdrop.
chanservices go down sometimes

Isn't an idlerpg bot in the same category as an eggdrop? They do different things in a channel, but are essentially the same.....Or are you giving me personal permission to run two bots because one is a phoenix service, and the other is to facilitate that service?

It is in the same category but I have no issue with you running another one also.

Why IRC services is a bad idea: Quakenet

Thanks Tim, you are a legend


ke: Quakenet? why? I never heard anything bad about quakenet, but I never tried it myself....there are so many networks to choose from!

The most simpler way to describe it is : In quake net, there isnt any service ...
About the topic: What do you want, to be an ircop? What is the problem to ask ops, one or two times in the month ?

You completely missed the point, and also that the problem was solved.

I don't get the point too why was killed servs and maked like old school IRC? :-) But what ever if that is onyl better so keep it real :-) And i think ke just wasted time to make some points and post to him self... Nothing bad just spoted. Becouse here was another problem it was problem about Phoenix network... Why here quakenet? :-)
