http://www.efnet.org/?module=channels has a list of channels that aren't secret/private, along with their topics. you don't need a bot to get those. if you want to get a list of all the public channels yourself, try /list in your irc client. be forewarned, it'll be a big list, and your client might ...

i don't think there are any dead servers in the round robin, unless you tried connecting while there was still a cached entry for a recently delinked server. if you don't think you should be banned on a particular server, /stats p that server and talk to an active oper. and there's a difference betw...

Tor is a great thing for browsing the web anonymously. It's also a great thing for spammers and such to use to abuse just about anything you can imagine, including IRC.
If you're not using Tor then you can get on a different server and ask an oper on the server you were banned on to remove it.

if they're invite spamming, you can /stats p the server they on and have an active oper k:line them.

it looks like it was a birthday kill, not a nick stealing kill.
and, by the way, a ddos comes from multiple locations, not one kill.

glad you like it. we just got new tapestries.

If you were k:lined on an efnet server, it's probably temporary. Try a different server. There's a list at http://www.efnet.org/?module=servers . if you're k:lined on all the servers, try http://chat.efnet.org and ask an oper to unban you. If it's not a k:line or d:line, but a channel ban, then take...

munky would remember the history better than i, but when he was helping run a shell server, they got quite a few frauds. paypal is a bad way to go for frauds, they just try to get money from you. first and best thing to do is not accept any orders from romania. after that, manually check all orders....

Again the issue is not content (although system administrators have a nasty habit of banning users on the basis of content) And again it is a matter of which side of the law you personally choose to support. Its the same situation with alcohol purchase. There will always be people who will attempt ...

They expect the government to help them do day to day monitoring of their children's activities? If the parents are working, the kids should be in school or have a babysitter. If they're old enough to stay home without a sitter, and you still don't trust them, then make sure you have some of that ne...

it's probably just a firewall. when you initiate a dcc send or dcc chat, your client sends a message to the other that says "connect to my ip at this port". if that port is blocked, you're SOL (unless you're the firewall admin). one way around that might be to set up an vpn server at home to route a...

possibly, but jupes are generally only used on channels that are abusive, or channels used to control drones. if there aren't any users in a channel, the drones are going to go there either.

have you tried setting the channel +s?

i heard there was free beer here...
