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

[science]

Move it. I can't even connect anymore for some reason, and this way I can be called science

 

[Narin]

I dont realy know what type of features efnet doesnt have, but half the time when i'm on #gbatemp.net no one says anything interesting/atall anyway. Thats why i reckon #gbatemp.ta is more interesting.

Actually .TA is dead 99% of the time. Seriously, nothing happens there except for the occasional floods that last for like 10 screens. :/


Anyways, BACK ON TOPIC EVERYONE! This is the final notice.

What a stupid idea.

EFnet is just fine, free, and already setup for you. This is just a huge waste of effort (not to mention the server resources required) to get silly things like services. The bots are a non-issue since they're already setup and garf maintains them for you.

 

[djgarf]

well wotever u do dont expect djnaff to bring the bots bk into gbatemp.net on efnet for a good while (if ever) because he is not very impressed with the shit that was pulled earlier and i can understand why

 

[Urza]

Your bots being in the channel is the reason we are moving. Them not being there is a good thing.

That doesn't make any sense.

 

[arctic_flame]

Hot damn. I thought there was a rule stating that IRC drama stayed on IRC.

 

[Gore]

if JPH isnt op, then sure!! ZING!


lol, I think it should stay on efnet because this server is already strained enough

Seconded.

 

[Doomsday Forte]

I vote for the option destined to cause the most heartrending.

*throws the die*

I completely agree with these words juggernaut911 has posted.

EFnet is more convieniant

Whoever just moderated The Worst and amptors posts should put a legitimate reason for removing them, just like a legitimate reason for banning people is necessary.

Anyway, my vote goes for staying on EFnet. Its already established and things are working (from my point of view) fairly well.


EDIT:

 

[amptor]

they're just jelous because #ndstemp is a better channel to be in

If it causes more drama, I vote for the move.
IRC drama makes me laugh.
If it's for features, meh. EFnet is good enough. Unless it's drama features.

 

[Little]

If we had a gbatemp chat without abusive shit self-righteous power-mad selfish idiotic not-even-staff pretentious dictatorial ops.... then I think a lot of people would come back.

Not going to mention any names of the ASSPSINPD ops is/are. But yeah.
Problem is they'd probably count the (non-existant) tempcast members as staff.
So then nothing would change.

I don't know yet which one to choose. both may have interesting things.

efnet :
+ no resources needed, already in place.
+ same place as others #xxxtemp channels, one server, one nickname, multi channels
- no nickserv or services
- no controls for mods


private :
+ new services and flexibility for moderators (Ircop)
+ possibility to link nick to the forum (and no more need to connect once every 31 day to reserve nick, it could be always active)
+ possibility to interact with the forum (irc forum), to display nbr of users on irc, names, new dumps, user is actually on irc, etc.
- new independent server for irc only ? I don't know if it can be hosted on current forum's server.
- resources needed ? maybe 2 servers in case one of them just split or disconnect, 2nd one is still online while 1st reconnect.
- only official #Temp channel (net) on the server, and other #Temp on efnet ?
- technician needed to maintain the server online and working (Narin will do it alone ?)


Private has more Negatives, but I think positives are great improvements.
I'm for moving to the new one (even if I don't come often).

Cyan, IRC can be hosted on our current server as well, it uses hardly any resources. You're right about the possible downtime issues though.

 

[Narin]

The IRC server will not be hosted on the same one as the site. It will be hosted on another server that has a higher uptime so if the site does go down, the IRC server will still work. Also IRC servers use very little resources due to it being a low resource text protocol. We don't expect thousands of users so only one server will be needed,
