If my channel isnt active for more than 2 weeks chanfix is useless as I stated previously. What do you mean by "active"? All it takes for CHANFIX to work with your channel is for there to be 4 clients (real people or bots) in the channel. That means 3 bots and yourself, or even 4 bots and no real p...

Hi. I have been k-lined due to not installing identd on a certain machine on my home network. I was wondering what I can do to have this ban removed. I don't think that you were banned for not running identd... I think that the server you were connecting to has banned all clients with no identd. Wh...

hello, my account was k-lined and i'm not exactly sure what I did. I don't use any warez or download any programs or files through irc. the only thing I use irc for is to talk chat and nothing else. can someone please give me a hand? thanks What is the ban message you receive when you try to connec...

afaik, chanfix keeps track of ident@static.hostname, not just nick, so it wouldn't be that someone could just take someone's nick and get their 'op points'

There is no Chanserv or Nickserv on EFNet, and no other kinds of services either, so there are no special commands for those. As far as I know (I haven't used other networks very much) EFNet just uses the basic commannds like /join, /part, /msg, /notice, /motd, etc. I think that stats commands do va...

banned again. the solution is: pay to go on EFnet. Yes, that is one possible solution; more specifically, you would be paying to run a bnc on someone else's server, from which you would connect to EFNet. You don't have to pay directly to connect to EFNet. You are getting banned because multiple bla...

Probably a lesson in how to use IRC would help you. You may find good information at http://www.irchelp.org . In most IRC clients, commands are preceeded by a / (slash). The command to join a channel is " /join #channel " (without the quotes, of course). Also, if you intend to spend any kind of time...

but i've been d-lined for about 2 weeks. it says open proxy found, I really don't know how to solve that... help :) In the ban message, is there a URL listed? If so, you should go there and there should be information about getting yourself removed from that blacklist. Before that, however, you'll ...

I just visited the same URL, and got the following: The IP address 219.95.153.160 is an active entry in the OPM blacklist, it was confirmed as an open proxy by our scanning software at 2005-03-19 15:39:03 GMT. err, must have just been added... when i went to the URL before, it said it wasn't in the...

Probably the best thing would be to: you must talk to the administrators of the IRC network you were trying to connect to. This forum probably isn't the best way to contact the admins of a specific server. The best way is to contact them directly instead of posting in a public forum. You can't be gu...

if you want to get people to respond from a channel, rather than just pasting, try saying something like "if anyone has some free time and would like to help me with my research by taking a survey, please msg me". maybe even chat with a channel op, and see if he will post your URL in the topic for ...

Hi I'm a student doing research on virtual communities for my third year dissertation, I need to research IRC Your research seems to deal more with online games than with IRC. Or, are you looking at IRC to show the opinion on the non-spacial side of things (e.g. whether people involved in non-spaci...

you need to access the configuration of your router and forward a small range of ports from your wireless router to your computer. Then, you look in the mirc configuration and set it to use those ports for dcc.

Notice that a lot of drones seem to always be in 20+ channels ... No real person that I know have can have that many windows open and remain sane. Kill all clients that are in 20+ channels (or 30+ if that works better). Actually, a LOT of people DO stay in that many channels, and have legitimate re...
