Frihost has an IRC channel on Dal.net. In here you can get support, play games and chat with other frihosters.
If you have an IRC Client installed, then this link may or may not work for you: irc://irc.dal.net/FriHost/ .
Please use the following information when connecting:
Server: irc.dal.net
Channel: #frihost
Nick: Your forum nick if available
This can be typed in the client like this:
| Code: |
| /server irc.dal.net |
wait till you get some text telling you are connected. then type:
More help can be given in the channel.
All links to the ytal.nl domain are down atm, this is being worked on but might take a while to fix. Rvec is sorry for the inconvenience.
We have a webclient on http://www.ytal.nl/frih/applet (java). If your firewall blocks this one you can try to google for CGI:IRC, those rarely work for dal.net though.
The users of the Frihost chat mostly use mirc and chatzilla, so if you need help with those we can help you.
If you want to use trillian, here is a tutorial on how to join the chat.
Please see http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-72012.html for a list of rules regarding the usage of our IRC channel.
The bot makes stats/logs and "who is online" pages for all the frihost channels. For the bot pages take a look at http://www.ytal.nl/frih .
For more help about IRC join the channel or ask in this thread.
Those using chanserv, nickserv and/or memoserv might want to try this script. It's made by Vrythramax, and he made a post about it on this forum a long time ago, but this version has some small bugfixes 
.
Have fun!
BTW: We also have other channels on dalnet (a total of 5 public channels), we will help you to get to those in the main channel (#frihost). One of these channels is the game channel.

He didn't set up a server, the server is dalnet. He made a room on that server for frihost.
Good idea, I'll be joining soon and others should do the same. I will join this as soon as I have enough money for a new PSU, so my PC won't reboot when it's under a bit of load >_< 
AHHHHHHH
It appers that dalnet hates me.

Noobie, it looks like you need to setup up an ident server in your irc client. Just go through your options and make sure fill in any missing info under Indent server and also make sure it's enabled.
I haven't used irc in a few years but was a common problem especially if you didn't use mirc as your irc client.That's cool.
How did you setup an irc server on dalnet?
nice! it's good when there's a place to idle a bit and to talk to other people. that was a good idea to bring the irc room back.
lol, you should ask for a refund.

I'll try that as soon as I get back on my pc with mirc . I see this channel is about as active as Helios was. Too bad though, I'd quite like the chat. 
I'm also there now At this moment I'm alone 
Nice! I'll be in there tomorrow does dalnet offer registered nicks?
Hey, that's a good idea make a Frihost IrcChan ^^
We can ask for Live Support when we need, because to post and wait a reply is so tedious =D, thanks ^^
thats good..i will come to irc tomorrow..see you in irc
| gonzo wrote: |

Yes Dalnet offers nick registeration thingy well the command for it is
or you can get help about it by
and for any nickserve related help type
For server Webchat and DALnet.. plss
Is it just me, or is dalnet down? I can't connect

I might take a look if I have time. | Quote: |

Me tooI will be on there all day and night *quieter* well may not that much
*edit
My names Dark_night and Im on there right now such good news, especially for me i love chatting by irc:)
meet you there
byeeeeeeeee i go running to install a irc client now!!! 
Very good,Supports , Thanks .
You'll see me around every once in a while... downside of big networks is your nick is always taken ;( personally I usually reside on a small network called Lostmoment
Come on people, go to the channel! I usually just have it on, idling, and whenever something happens (never did so far) I check it out. Why don't you do so too Nice idea xD.
Here is DALnet servers listing.
And here is nice client called Visual IRC.
Cheers,
Arin. I made a little package that will get you started on IRC. All you need to do is follow a wizard that asks for your nickname and exiting message. Then click the connect button and you'll be brought to the IRC channel (chatroom) without having to do anything. Provided your firewall doesn't stop you, of course
So if you don't have experience with IRC but still want to chat with FriHosters, download the instant package here. <400kB
Please read the small readme first, it's not a long story but some important info.
Come on people, it's only a tiny program, won't take up much memory or bandwidth. Just give it a shot
Edit: this has not been tested on Windows XP and it may not work there...

Good Idea ^^, i ever will on this place when i got a high "?"...
lol
wow I love IRC i know all codes for it now my fav host has 1!
thats cool, i have never tried irc chat.
Is dalnet down, i can't connect Well, it was a good idea... and it would be a better one if somebody but me was in there well i`m also alone now, i`ll just leave my IRC client open and hope everybody else does the same...
Cool, count me in, Ill check it out.
Really a Nice Idea Guyz.... but still there's no 1 online in There...........no1.....but zNice site Indeed...
Is there a channel on undernet or one coming?
I am not using IRC hope this venture by you will lead
me to participate in one
Hey I'm there and I'm alone too... may be we can set a time to be together there, or just get a bot to say hi so that we don`t feel so lonely over there....
meh ... i dont think that the irc chat will ever take off .. especially when most of the answers are here. and people enjoy it here. ..
.. but if anyone would like a bot scripting .. just ask. I wont be able to host it tho because my internet goes off fairly frequently.
Why DALNet?I can't come there because I don't use dalnet, I use only quakenet. Don't tell me how to switch it, because I don't even want to. All my friends are on quakenet.
You my dear you can even connect to many networks on the same time. you do not need to disconnect from quakenet to connect to dalnet. If you use mirc then its built in you can open as many server windows as you like.
I used to use IRC everyday, but that was a few years ago. Not used it in ages.
I'll probably be in the chat quite often, even if it is just idling i'm also a scripter and have done quite a few things in reference to irc scripts. Mainly with mSL(mIRC Scripting Language) and Perl. If anyone has any questions about them feel free to ask always glad to teach hey cool job...thanks for you have chosen dalnet...
cool an Irc channel .. will visit you people soon there Aloha FriHost Team,
Good news to hear that you've got a #FriHost chat channel on DALNET. Particularly convenient for those of us using Firefox with built in Chatzilla.
I am hunting around for an IRC channel with a server that can handle KhmerOS font. If I don't keep practicing this language, I'm going to forget it.
Ah... so many new frontiers to cross.
I hope the year 2006 brings good fortune and success in whatever the Strategic Plans the FriHost Team has forecasted.
Mark
Thanks, I'll be sure to check it out. WoW, thats nice to hear.. It will be a lot of fun chatting with fellow frihosters..
It seems that dialnet hates me too

Kewl what would be the best script to use for this irc network?
Cool, I am going to check it out later today, is the software available at http://mirc.com? Do you have to pay for the software at all? I've heard of it before, but I haven't ever used it yet and I wanted to know. If someone could help me out with this that would be great. Does anyone actually use the channel? I have been there many time and I find myself alone in the channel.
I know...poor me, all dressed up and no one to chat with | skaterm wrote: |

There's more than mIRC in the IRC world... if you want I have a ready-for-Frihost program that will instantly get you in the right place. It uses another client called hIRC. I would also recommend X-Chat. | HJSimpson wrote: |

I use mIRC myself. If you happen to chose mIRC PM me and let me know as I have written an addon script for mIRC to deal with Dalnet's services (ChanServ, NickServ & MemoServ...I have no access to AdminServ so I didn't include those commands) it's geared towards the beginning Dal user that doesn't know how to properly use those services or the experienced user that doesn't feel like typing out all the commands themselves, it's free (and virus free as well).
Just let me know if you are interested and I'll let you know where to download it and how to install/use it. | HJSimpson wrote: |
| Kewl what would be the best script to use for this irc network? |
I use trillian, It is a very good program and can run multiple chat programs at one time. You might hve to search for it on google though.The lights are on but nobodys home
Still empty after 3 hrs......apart from Quixy whos asleep Thanks Daniel.............. With the forum being down this was a handy place for a little information regarding whats going on No one on channel 
Cool!!!
I love IRC, I love frihost
I wasn't there for a few days, but once again... I'm there. I normally have my highlight on, so just say either Quixy or Kat to get my attention in there.
Unless my name is QuixZZzzz or something, in which case I'm asleep. 
Managed to connect, then as soon as i connected i joined the channel and there were only 2 people, including me, in it. The other person was Quixy or something like that.
[b]Wow how did you do that on DALnet i want to add one to my website when i finally get accepted , dosent it cost money are you in contact with them or something?
BUT....
I couldent chat on it because it said "You have being auto-killed!!! & that i am not welcome on the server.
Why do you think this?
Please email me by clicking my email button on my profile.

If you're using mIRC, it should have a 'DALNet' option in the server listing. Try choosing a server closer to you (the server I use is in Singapore, which is the closest server to me).
Just connecting to irc.dal.net should work

Anyone can make a channel, you just need to think of a unique name. In your IRC client, try to join a channel that doesn't exist yet (for example, the name of your website). The channel will be empty, and you'll be an Op (admin).
What you'll want to do is 'register' the channel. If you don't register it, the channel is destroyed as soon as the last person leaves. After the last person leaves, the next person to enter the channel will be the admin.
For information on how to register the channel, look at 'ChanServ'. http://schlock.bkwm.com/serv/chanserv.htm might give you some helpful information. Basically, once you're connected, you type '/chanserv REGISTER [channel] [password] [description]' to register the channel. Your nickname needs to be registered first, which can be done via 'NickServ' (/nickserv REGISTER [password] [email]). See http://schlock.bkwm.com/serv/nickserv.htm#REGISTER | daniel15 wrote: |
There is now a NEW FriHost IRC Channel, on DALNet!
You can use any DALNet server (connect to irc.dal.net to get a random server). The servers that I would suggest are oi.ix.au.dal.net (Sydney, Australia) and hotspeed.sg.as.dal.net (Asia)
The channel name is #FriHost
If you have an IRC Client installed, then this link may or may not work for you: irc://irc.dal.net/FriHost/ |
Whenever I go on I'm alone so I've finally decided to stop using IRC.I try to be there most of the time...but I also have my own channels I admin....I hope to see you in #Frihost!
what is irc channel 
| mr.nobody wrote: |
| what is irc channel |
Basically, IRC is a chat protocol. You connect to an IRC server, which has lots of channels (think of the channels as seperate chat rooms).
There are lots of guides available for beginners, such as this one.it seems DAL is having some troubles today, login times are effected, as are services requests.
A reminder to Frihost....a channel op (AOP or SOP) must login at least once every 30 days to keep the channel registered.
Spoken as a former Dal Services Admin.
I guess i will have to try this out sooner or later.
I did use another IRC from a different site..
I have written software that eases the uses of "services" on DAL....it was made for use with mIRC software....if any interest is shown I willsee that other "softwares" are included.
PM me with any requests if you are interested (works on ALL "Windows" systems and OS's).
Made to be "user friendly".
This has already been made public in another topic.
I can't get it to work for some reason
can someone please help me? * Looking up irc.dal.net
* Connecting to irc.dal.net (194.68.45.50) port 6667...
* Connection failed. Error: Connection timed out
Cycling to next server in DALNet...
* Disconnected ().
Bah...anyone else having problems /w Dalnet? 
please try DAL again..."loyalty.ix.us.dal.net", thier "round-robin" server is most certainly online. I definitely can not connect to any of the dalnet servers and i'm idling on 2 other IRC networks as I type this.

I have made my private apology and now I must make a public one to be fair to all. DAL is going through some problems as this is being typed...I cannot connect either (and I know the backdoor).
Sorry for the bad advice ZenFountain and all others You know the back door becuase you are god
So are you saying i can't connect becuase of this? from all I can tell right now, yes....that is the source of your connection problems. Since I also am having troubles connecting also I can't really tell exactly wtf is going on. Will keep all interested posted.
@Blaster...thanks for the kudos, I certainly am no God....but wouldn't mind being one someday
Wonder how long you have to study for that job a [totally] unnofficial update....
It seems DAL is going through DNS resolution troubles which would explain why nobody can connect.

I told you guys he is god. ummm...given that I cannot connect either and there are many [potential] problems would could have arisen (drunken driver taking out a crucial tel line, wheather conditions, somebody asleep at DAL, etc.)....I honestly can't say.
Sorry Bro. its ok. Thanks for at least letting us know what is going on. own IRC channel huh? will there be support done at the channel??
if there is then it saves alot of trouble creating a ticket
| faker wrote: |

I would imagine Support questions would be handled via DCC one-to-one on a "per individule" request....that is if DAL ever comes back.Gah, hate DAL.net. All it's good for is it's massive netsplits and the inability to ever see anyone ;(
Unless it's improved the last time I've been on it...
Maybe it's time to consider moving the channel to another network? I dunno about you guys but I consider days of downtime to be a little excessive, I would love to meet some peopel from here on IRC.
Well, with a network as big as the DALNet one, you'd expect a bit of downtime. Anyway, DALNet appears to be working again, at least the server I use (hotspeed.sg.as.dal.net)

and so on. hey, irc is a great idea. Is this always online basically acting as a support live chat if needed? Sounds good.
So..is it working?
Because I cannot connect to it too..otherwise let's just get rid of this sticky .
I can't connect either n0obie4life, and I tried ports 6660 (random server), 6667 (standard) and 7000, no response from any...so far.
YAY!!! I can connect!!! YAHOO!!!
I also finally connected...but not on the first try. I had to allow mIRC to try a reconnect and then I was shunted to a random DAL server in Florida...but there's still nobody there daniel15
What does IRC mean ?
thank you
alkutob: Internet Relay Chat
Channel is empty. Only im in it. There's nothing unusual about that, I've actually given up lol.
anyone going to DALnet today? If your chat program doesn't connect on the first try, let it try reconnecting again...this is only if you are trying to reach a random DAL server.
Well, I was actually suprised today! There was 3 people in the channel (including myself!) 4 people if you include the bot Anybody using this regularly ?
| tumbleweed wrote: |
| Anybody using this regularly ? |
I went on today but nobody was on there.. We need to get more people on there but I do not want to take people away from the forums on frihost.. And that reporting system Bondings was going to do some time could be put on there and it could be even more efficient then on a website because it would be live.I'm on now and expect to be on rather often. I used to love the IRC on a forum I used to visit so it should be just as fun, if not more here!
Not sure about using it for support though .... 
Eh i guess i'll occupy the chat for a few days and see if anyone drops in :O
4 of us on it right now! Come on people! Join #frihost on Irc.dal.net
I still belive that we should have an online client for this where bondings can plaster the surrounding page with ads... Why don't use QuakeNet??
on quakenet it's service bots, auth system, spam bot for channels with over 160 users and much more.
all this powered by Quakenet.
and one more thing.. have the channel on dal.net died?
Nice, I'll join on that channel too.

if you mean #FriHost on quakenet then the server adress is: irc.quakenet.org if you want an random server (it chooses the fastest server for your connection)frihost should be on quaknet... its alot better.

Actually, it does work. At least for most people who have tried it.
Solutions:
1. Get java
2. _Wait_ for it to load.
3. Remember, dal takes forever to connect to.
You can get java at http://www.java.com/en/index.jsp[/url]It probably would work if server 2 wouldn't have problems OK, I've put a Webchat applet at http://frihost-chat.uni.cc/ , for if you don't have mIRC. It will automatically connect to the FriHost channel. Also, there is a 'Change nick' box, which you can use to change your nickname I clicked the link.........run the applet.......and I'm there, easy as pie
In fact its so easy I did it twice Oh cool, only just noticed this thread. Shouldn't it be sticky'ed?
I use Xchat, maybe you like it, maybe you don't. I cannot seem to connect to DalNet, it tries forever, but no go. I am not much of an IRCer, as I cannot get any work done while arguing in MS/Linux wars chat lol. But I do get on FreeNode every now and then. The forums say the frihost IRC room is not really populated, so I will probably not try that hard.
Koodos to the one that did this, I hope that many start to use it, but I have to get back to work. I like to help any project succeed, but I must choose my battles, there is a mosquito virus raging across Africa as we speak. But if you ever decide to migrate to freenode, stop in #freenx or #linux and we might see each other.
BUMP
this should be higher
I've been idling for some time now, anyone wants to pass by and make it an buzzy channel?

Firstly was it really neccesary to bring this topic back
Secondly when I got my web hosting all it said was to keep my points up on the forums, so this will never come to pass.I might stop by onto the IRC channel! Well even after so many assurances of "Stopping by" to the irc chat, the channel still feels kinda empty having 3 ppl at max...
Yea this thread should be sticky...

I agree totally....lets see what happens over the next few days...I know of a few "backdoors" to DalNet.....(I used to be thier Services Admin).
I have some family I must visit today, but I will correct any problems tonight.I'll be idling there two again.

Cant access it. No use delisting as I have a dynamic ip address and tried refreshing ip, got the same error again. May be my entire ISP is banned. Dataone's ip address are blacklisted due to some reasons by lots of spam blocking services. have you tryed the different java applets?
And if that doesn't work you can try it with a proxy server.
How about we add a link to the applet in our signatures, that might boost the amount of people in the channel.

sure almost 16 minutes after I said anything. that's called lurking....your not paying attention, besides (by your own workds) you were getting "bizzy".....try turning off the puter, and not keep others hanging while your getting "bizzy".So much for our cosy IRC channel. Only 5 members and already a war? Nice job!

I beg to differ....IRC means Internet Relay Chat, and if your not chatting, your lurking.

so you joined almost 6 hours later.some people have a thing called a life they must deal with from time to time, and your logs are bogus.
The channel #frihost has been regained by Frihost staff.
or did you miss that part because you were not present?
As long as my bot is in the channel he keeps logs
Out of these logs I make stats every day at 22:30GMT.
Stats available at: http://www.bierkip.nl/irc/frihoststats.html
The bot also checks who is online every minute. You can see who is online at:
http://www.bierkip.nl/irc/frihost.html
If anyone could make a php script to make a picture out of the second link it would be greatly appreciated. Rvec, your stats are no good as long as the bot isn't online 24/7. But I like the random quote thingy. i was trying to get the bot up 24/7. And it all went well untill:

So i changed the nick from MeanBot to Fbot, and he's in again. And some people wonder why i don't like them.
The bot idled in #frihelp for the rest of the night. And the pc on which the bot runs also has a web server so it's already on 24/7.
Edit: My bot and I will not go to the channel again. The stats will be deleted and so will the bot.
Edit2: everything is deleted. It's not becouse I didn't like the place, I liked it every time. There is just one person I can't stand. | Arnie wrote: |

Yes, but that's also due to the fact that I wasn't at frihost for a few days. Anyway stycking it or making an announcement is a good idea I think.There is a discussion going on between the staff about making an IRC "Sticky", but since the channel is still new we have to work out the rules before making any kind of "Official" statement.
As for right now I would ask that any user to not bring a bot into the channel, or for the time being, it will be banned. The same goes for flooding, spamming, and any other infraction of the (IRC) server(s) rules. The general rules of conduct when in the forum(s) should also be applied to your usage of the Frihost channel.
DalNet is a very large server system, if you have a bot you wish to try out, or even play with.....simply register a channel on your own and run the bot there....assuming the server you are connected to even allows them.
Also for the time being, only staff will be given OP status in the channel.
Thank You.
If you want a bot, I can arrange that - I have a server I leave on all the time. I'll keep logs and stats for everyone

Yeah, I sure will... Once I have more free time .
I'm usually on irc.villageirc.net (#simplemachines) and irc.freenode.net (various channels... ##php, #lighttpd, #cms), but vary rarely on DalNET. I guess I'll start using it again Thank You Daniel15, your input would be greatly appreciated. Sweet, I'm finally in the IRC channel. You guys may love me there.
Real time chat logs are now available at http://frihost-chat.us.to/logs/ . If you have any suggestions relating to the chat logs, please feel free to post them here
I'm aware of one current bug: Colour codes aren't displayed correctly (the actual symbol is output, rather than it changing the text colour). I'll fix this as soon as possible (once I figure out the best way to parse IRC colour codes in PHP). I'm already there - after five or six times trying to connect.
Well... good idea instead of shoutbox=)

IRC is Internet Relay Chat, the fore-runner to all of those instant messenging programs out there. It allows for real-time conversations with people.
It also requires a special program such as mIRC, or the use of a web interface. Frihost's web interface is located at http://frihost-chat.us.to/webchat/
I hope you will join us | starfish2007 wrote: |

Don't worry about the security alert, it's just because I haven't updated the chat applet (it's an old version, and the security certificate has since expired). When I get some free time, I'll get the new version and install it.Ha-ha, I made a banner for the channel.
It's handmade and that's why isn't very beautiful - I used IrfanView for editing=) Outstanding Arseniy! Our first IRC banner!
BTW....I'm sorry I mispelled your name in the channel yesterday....my bad

Now put it in your sigs and advertise. Or make better banner, because mine is really ugly. Even for me=)
If anyone is intersted n making a banner for the irc channel please PM me and I'll give you the info needed to be included.
Maybe I'll seek out the Marketplace forum, I'm sure there are people willing to help there as well.
I'd like to point out that Arseniy volunteered his time to help out. 
I would, if you unban me... Your pleasure=) I'm always ready to help=)

rvec is indeed a real person...I am a bot. I connected to another server (-punch.va.us.dal.net-).
I am in the channel with Frihbot now.
yep, i'm nearly always on the chat Lol
thats cool that theres a IRC channel now. i just started using irc a little bit ago and its a good program. you can always find people playing battle field or quake on there. its great!

Actually IRC is not a specific program, but rather a protocal...just like http or ftp are protocals. There are quite a few programs out there designed specifically for using IRC.
My personal favorite is mIRC.If you have a Mac, I suggest you use jIRCii. It's the only free Mac IRC program that I could find, and it is pretty nifty. Thanks for your job. Maybe it can help me with some support. I'm just learning php. I'll see you there
If more people stay in there we might start a support channel. But before that happens we have to get a more reliable bot, and more idlers who can jump in every now and then.
Well a bot is not really important, however getting more users is. And also the current users should become a bit less passive. At the moment they won't even join my multiplayer game servers!
ummm...I think the purpose of the channel is more for support and real-time chatting....not promoting your game server.

If you had a good game on your server ....

Well having it staffed may become possible if we had more active users in the channel...but asking people to volunteer 24/7 is an impossible task.
Be patient, things will either smooth out or the idea will be shelved until another time. We still have the Support forums and PM's. Also it's not more users that would be needed for the channel to be viable for support...but staff that can actually be able to do something to help...answering questions is only a part of the support process.with people from Australia, Europe and America it should be possible to occupy the channel 24/7. Just some more becouse if one person has no time the channel is empty for a couple of hours.
The thing is, as often as I'm there, more often than not, I'm not going to be paying attention to it. I'm going to either be in the Sketchbattle IRC channel, or be paying attention to everything else.
I went to the #Frihost channel on Dalnet and guess what, I found 3 people in there including the bot.
There was this op _Saint_ who said my nick "Traveller" is not acceptable as it belongs to a mod and I have to change it! It was incredulous! hahaha!
Then I told him that I had the nick for a very long time and it has been registered with Dalnet and I have also Identified for it.
Traveller on #frihost
Traveller using serenity.ix.us.dal.net The Windy City's Hot Air Connection
Traveller has identified for this nick
Traveller has been idle 7secs, signed on Sun May 27 14:42:04
Well, he still did not get the point and said I have to change if other ops object to my nick? I was like...excuse me? Why should I change my rightfully registered nick name that is not vulgur or anything like that?
Can anyone shed some light into this childishness?
They cannot force you to change your nick. Frihost doesn't have any authority on Dalnet, so if you registered the nickname on Dalnet, they have nothing to do with that and cannot do anything about it.
Frihost only has authority on #frihost so they could choose to ban you, but that would be very childish. And the Traveller from Frihost would still not get your nickname anyway, since you registered it.
| MadeinIndia wrote: |
| Can anyone shed some light into this childishness? |
It's not chilishness. If you had been using the nick 'Bondings' on dalnet, you would not be allowed on our channel for the obvious reason that people would think you are someone who you are not. In your case, another moderator, traveller.
Our IRC rules clearly state you are not allowed to do this (rule 17). While you may not be trying to create turmoil, it's still not allowed.
We are not asking you to unregister your nick or give it to us or anything, just don't use it on our channel. When you join, change it to something we may recognise YOU as (/nick MadeInIndia).
We don't have authority over registered names on dalnet, but we do have authority over who can enter and use our channel!Cool, I am going to check it out later today, is the software available at http://mirc.com? Do you have to pay for the software at all? I've heard of it before, but I haven't ever used it yet and I wanted to know. If someone could help me out with this that would be great. No, you don't have to pay for it.
I the nick in question was indeed registered with NickServ before our channel opened (sorry Traveller) then the nickname in question would have to be changed according to DalNet rules. This could be as simply changing one letter in your nickname...this would bypass Dal's rules concerning NickServ.
Sorry again Traveller

No, the rules of Dalnet are not posted there (at the mIRC Site that is), please refer to the official Dalnet Website...or out own Official Rules for conduct at: http://www.frihost.com/forums/vp-606185.html#606185
I hope this help, and we are looking forward to meeting you there. BTW...the nick Bondings was being used, but not registered, it was only used to create problems and give bad info....I'll give any regular IRC users 2 guesses who was using it. I stepped in and put a stop to it.
Now I am hated, and actions have been taken to make me look bad. Unfortunatly the rules I wrote may not have been the best, but until Frihost integrates it into not only the forums, but the hosting....problems will continue....and these problems are easily handled.
I have been aorund IRC for a very long time, and it can be alot of fun and also a real-time support forum.

Yeah, that's the one
mIRC is "shareware", which means it's a trial that you need to pay for after some time. If you want a truly free IRC program, take a look at HydraIRC (for Windows) or X-Chat (Windows, Linux, Mac) . | MadeinIndia wrote: |
I went to the #Frihost channel on Dalnet and guess what, I found 3 people in there including the bot.
There was this op _Saint_ who said my nick "Traveller" is not acceptable as it belongs to a mod and I have to change it! It was incredulous! hahaha!
Then I told him that I had the nick for a very long time and it has been registered with Dalnet and I have also Identified for it.
Traveller on #frihost
Traveller using serenity.ix.us.dal.net The Windy City's Hot Air Connection
Traveller has identified for this nick
Traveller has been idle 7secs, signed on Sun May 27 14:42:04
Well, he still did not get the point and said I have to change if other ops object to my nick? I was like...excuse me? Why should I change my rightfully registered nick name that is not vulgur or anything like that?
Can anyone shed some light into this childishness? |
Just to set this straight...
You may be using that nick for a very long time on other places, i'm not telling you haven't, but it has NOT been either on our forums, or the DAL.net network.
You registered that nick with DAL.net on the 24th of May, 2007 and if it wasn't to join our channel, it's a very funny coincidence that you registered that nick at this time.
IF we were talking about someone using that nick on that network for a long time (previous to the channel creation, at least) I would have no problems in accepting that nick in our channel. You have a pretty good example, which is Helios. He uses the nick SainT because Helios had already been taken (for the record, on the 29th January 2006). If by any chance the user currently using Helios on DAL.net was to join our channel, i'd have no problems with that.
The way it happened in this case though, seems to me like it was registered with the intent of being used primarily in our channel and, since that would confuse our users and they would think they were talking with Traveller the mod and not with you, I believe changing the nick would be the best way of solving this.
This would avoid people confusing you with Traveller and would help other users recognize you for whom you are in the forums.
I don't want to force you to change nick (nor would I ever do that), but In my opinion, it would be for the best for both of you.
Be Well To set things straight, I was really using this nick for a very long time. But due to a project, I had to be out of town for more than a month. My account was inactive, even here on Frihost (You can check with the mods here if I was really inactive for a long duration), I had enough points so that did not affect me here on Frihost.
But if you know Dalnet, it usually cancels inactive nicks. As soon as I logged in back, I realized my nick has been de-registered and I immediately registered it again.
To your point about me registering the nick and entering the chat room. As I mentioned before, I was away for many weeks and came back and logged on to the Frihost forums and found out about the new IRC room. Then I Immediately went on to Dalnet only to find out about my nick being de-registered.
You can clearly check the frihost records on how long I have been away. Usually single word nicks are not available on Dalnet. They are a premium. I was lucky to get back my nick immediately as I guess no one noticed it being de-registered. How can you explain that a nick like "Traveller" being available then? If "Traveller" was really available, how come the so called Moderator Traveller did not register it before? I never met him or know about him, he must be having something like ^Traveller^ or _Traveller_ or some stuff like that but not a single nick like mine.
Try to get a nick called "Flash" "Hero" or any such nicks on Dalnet. Impossible.
First off, I wasn't attacking you, so please calm down.
I don't really need to check with mod's for your inactiveness, I can check that part myself (as can any other normal user).
IF that nick has always been yours, I don't see any reason for you to drop it, as said earlier. Traveller already has a new regged nick (since yesterday) and he has no beef about this situation (and neither have I). Ofc he would prefer to maintain his forum nick, but if that's not possible, there are workarounds for it.
He didn't have a registered nick on DAL.net and that's not what was told to you. All that was said was that that nick was used by a Frihost Moderator.
He tried to register that nick to enter #frihost for support to our members (guess he wasn't IRC active b4) and after checking we saw the nick had been freshly registered by one of our members. I think you can understand why we thought you had just registered the nick (as re-registering information does not show).
Btw.. the "so called Moderator" IS a Moderator (you should start paying attention to the user tags on this forum) and to my knowledge he has not been offensive to you...
Also, let me tell you that you have never been absent from frihost for one month.
Be Well I don't know exactly how many days I was away, I was shooting a documentary and I was away for 25 days to be exact, dunno if I might have logged in once in between to check my points.
Anyway, all's well that ends well..If the moderator wants my nick, I can give it to him. I will take a different nick.
See, all this issue was how it was put to me...I just enter a room and someone tells me abruptly to change my nick as it belongs to someone, I got ticked off...Other than that, there is no problem. I guess you are not alowed to stay in the channel when you're not behind the pc yourself...

Your ban shall be lifted until such time as you become a lurker again. If you were sleeping, then it's my bad, but most people log off when they go to bed.

Still nothing happening .... In my 14 years of being on various BBS's, IRC's, I understand that most of the people just login and go away. That has been acceptable for ages and never did I experience anyone getting kicked away for being inactive. Sometimes many years back, there was a competition amongst us to see how long we would be online. I managed to be online for 5 days before the server disconnecting me off.
Usually, there is a auto away which tells the user is away. You can also keep your status to Away to let people know that you are not around. Just type /away
i know max also has mirc and he knows how to see if someone is idle.
And most of the time I try to change my nick into something like Rvec|asleep or Rvec|movie but I sometimes forget.
Edit:
I am still on the server you can pm me.

I think this is a topic that should be handled in private, but since you wish to make it public...so be it. If you wish to log our channel, even while sleeping, it is not right, Especially when you are active in other channel while you are "sleeping". Explain those actions to the users and staff and i will lift the ban.
I am not the hardass you wish to make me out to be, I have a job to do, and I do it very well.I still don't see what the big deal is with people not talking. I'm in there every chance I get, and it's never very active, so I stop paying attention to it. But I still participate if I'm wondering what's going on in there and peopel are being active. Even if they are, it's never something I want to talk about. You see where my problem is?

He wasn't talking about the bot ...
And about me being active in one channel and sleeping in another. I sleep about 10 hours a day, if you speak to me and I respond I will also respond on any other server/channel I am on. Sometimes like rightclickscott also mentions the topic does not interest me and I only talk in one channel. And some of those times I might have announced to go to sleep. I think I am not the only one who postpones those things sometimes.
But even if I was logging and only talking once a month, what would be the problem. The way the channel is now I think we need every 10 minutes of talk we can get. And If I wanted to spy on you guys I could just copy the logs the bot makes from the site.
BTW if you know someone who wants to give money for the logs please contact me becouse I haven't found him/her yet.
Edit: thx for letting me in again.
Edit2: 2 other people in here
Tobias|asleep (lurker )
and FrihBot (ping timeout after a couple of hours), we need a better bot...

Sue me.glad to see frihost has an irc channel now.
i always found it easier to chat through that then posting on a forum.
if ya have a problem, on a forum you first have to figure out how you gonna type it so everybody understands what the problem is. in a chatwindow it's more of a talk and reply scenario so you can give extra information (right away) and so on. not that i post lots of problems, i always end up having the feeling i'm bugging peeps.
but most of the times i'm there to just chat and have fun. in the previous room there was always lots to do, starting from starting an virtual party to a pie trowing fight. but it's pretty much dead now no one ever comes there anymore.
so i'm really happy i found a new place to hang out.
now if people would just start talking.
or did i scare them? i can be rather scary by times i guess.
hehe
see you all there! I am not able to connect to this IRC CHANNEL !!!!
can anybody tell me why is that ?? i am using a proxy ..., 
Are you trying to connect via the web client, or mIRC (or a different local script) ?
i would suggest you just download mirc on
www.mirc.com
do look on what version fits with your compy
i always found it easier to use then any other program i encountered
and if you need help setting mirc up, just give me a holler (or pm)
i'll be glad to help you with it I don't know how to use dalnet,but it seems very cool,maybe I will have a try when I learn some knowledge of IRC and dalnet.
it's not that hard. Just go to the web applet page and you're in.

@scott your still my buddy, sometime we just see things diferantly. Oh, what fun!
I can't use the channel, because I don't have Java Runtime environment. And I can't get Java Runtime Environment, because there seems to be some problem downloading it.
Well, well... How pitiful. Unfortunately on Google there's no way to find free IRC clients and nobody was kind enough to mention some in this topic either... There's not even a Java runtime download to be found on Google. What is happening to the quality of the Internet!? try http://www.mirc.com
I will help from there. | Vrythramax wrote: |
| @scott your still my buddy, sometime we just see things diferantly. |
Hurrah! -snuggles-
Also, I think you should put up links to some free, easy to use clients, like Mirc and the one I linked to earlier, jIRCii (for people with Macs of course), on the first post. Here's the one I linked:

Mirc is free, and even if you don't register you can use it forever. The only advantage of registering (and paying) is you don't have to click the give-me-money-pop-up away.
And the java you need to install is just the thing you find if you type java in google: http://www.java.com/en/Are you serious, Rvec?? Why didn't anyone mention that before?? No wonder poor saratdear gave us the ... You can't expect him to spend an hour working through Google results to find a free IRC client or (even worse 
) the Java runtime environment!!!
Computers were supposed to make our lives easier try using the right search terms:
http://www.google.com/search?q=freeware+irc+client
http://www.google.com/search?q=java+runtime
i don't know about other languages but with my settings the first page has enough hits. It's been quite a while since I tried it, so I forget EXACTLY why, but there was some reason I didn't like mIRC.
So far, I've been quite happy with Orion, which is free, with NO registration requirements of any kind. Rvec, I think it may also be good if you explain saratdear what to do next, after opening these Google results. Not everyone is a Google PRO like you, see? Thanks for the interest everyone! I got mIRC installed, and I am quite happy. Really. I can chat now! And mIRC is a really good program. If anyone else is having problems like this, I recommend it.

not fair
But i did some searching and testing:
orion http://tellini.info/software/orion/
Easy, no looks, no extra buttons, nothing extra.
icechat http://www.tucows.com/preview/337245
looks nice, easy to use, little wizzard and lot of standard settings (so you don't have to set them)
mirc http://www.mirc.com
a lot of extra scripts available
lot of people can give support
turbo irc http://www.tucows.com/get/322947_123901
has a wizzard to connect to the channel and when you are done with that a help screen pops up, and you have to press on connect, select the server again and click connect again to finaly enter the channel. I didn't try out the advanced setting.
nettalk http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Chat/IRC-Clients/Nettalk.shtml
easy to use. gives a little help with commands like /nick or /join
can also minimize to system tray (thing near the clock)
mirc and nettalk are my first choice.
If you don't want to install software on your pc you can always use a webbased client.
I found 2 differend versions on wich you can join #frihost.
the official one (uses java) http://frihost-chat.uni.cc/
And some schools/workplaces might have blocked the java or the applet in some other way. For those there is CGI:IRC. Some sites:
http://www.chriscole.info/cgiirc/irc.cgi
http://cgi5.scoutlink.ch/cgi-bin/irc.cgi
http://www.netrusk.net/cgi-bin/irc.cgi
http://www.darkfire.net/cgiirc/
http://wwwirc.kapsi.fi/cgiirc/irc.cgi
some of the CGI:IRC might be blocked on Dalnet becouse they are sometimes used for flooding.
The settings wich you'll always need:
Server: irc.dal.net
channel: #frihost
nick: your frihost nick
command to change your nick: /nick newnick
command to change/join server: /server irc.dal.net
command to change/join channel: /join #frihost
Edit: this post made me addicted I never liked that rank, I will either have to decrease my posting rate so that I can stay Senior (which is great) longer, or I will have to increase my posting rate drastically so I will become Freak (which is ok) soon.
Anyway, the best IRC client is still hIRC:
i like the shield
And i think hirc is a bit to plain. But if you want no extras it might be great. | Arnie wrote: |

Someone come on ur Irc channel.
Does bondings come on it at all?
C-a-E bondings was once in i think, but i am not sure it was the real one.
And I am always in
Responding when possible. If you say my name and afterwards say something to me I will always respond when I am back. Bondings is very busy with his studies and providing people with a valuable free service...which is why he has entrusted the channel to others.
If you visit the channel and see any member with the "@" symbol before their name...feel free to ask them anything about the services provided at Frihost...they all work here.
EDIT: With the exception of FrihBot...that is a channelbot, not a real person. | Quote: |

Yeah, the current one is Java-based. Most recent browsers have support for Java if it's installed (most PCs have it installed).
There's several open-source Flash IRC clients (and Vrythramax said he's working on one as well)... I may try some out and see if they're good

Hosting requirements for what? http://frihost-chat.us.to/ is on my own personal server, and I'll host whatever you like there.
Before anyone asks why it isn't hosted at FriHost, it's because the logs are read from FrihBot, and I wanted to keep the webchat in the same place. We can't host FrihBot on FriHost as the data centre does not allow IRC in any form.for the users that don't want flash or java:

I'm considering purchasing a "proper" dedicated server for my sites as well as FrihBot (as opposed to hosting it on a cheap server at my house )
I'm just waiting for the owner of the dedicated server provider to confirm that IRC is allowed (Layered Technologies don't allow IRC).

They should be back soon - I ordered my dedicated server yesterday, and am waiting for it to be set up
FrihBot will be back (when the server is up, and I reconfigure it), and the webchat will be back around the same time. The logs and dynamic signature may take a little longer (I need to recode them), but will eventually be back.It would be nice if we could add a sort of text which displayed the number of members online on the frihost channel, at the top right of the frihost forum. This would encourage more chatters to be online on the channel.
I would be happy to display a picture sig, which display "# member online on chatroom" i.e. if its possible.

He can de-op me for a moment but channel services will give them right back to me. He also cannot ban me.

Funny. (Where is that darned "KILL" button??) 
FrihBot is back (well, kinda).
I was going to install Supybot (the one we were using before), but their site is down. So, this time I'm using eggdrop. I'm still learning how to use it, though
Logs are back: http://frihost-chat.us.to/logs/ does anybody know a good way to get Trilians irc t work with the channel for frihosters? I cant seem to get mine to work 
thanks | Droop wrote: |

Personally I use mIRC, but we have many users who use Trillian that can help you out. Have you tried the trillian website help files? They may be faster than waiting for an answer here
When you find out how to connect, the server name is irc.dal.net and the channel name is #frihost (don't forget the # sign in the channel name).Making a tutorial on trillian now.
I'll put the link in this post.

I got it to work, i just used the wrong server name, I put irc.dal.net instead of irc://irc.dal.net like the first post said. thanks for all the help I don't understand this, but when I try to connect to the channel, i get an IP blocked message...

I don't think that that is it... because I can join other channels just fine, it is only the Frihost one... Who is it that doesn't like me? 
@ hack_man
I can assure you that nobody is banned or barred from that channel...trust me, I would know.
Actually the bot auto-bans people that join and then leave very shortly after (up to 5 secs or so)
| Arnie wrote: |

As it stands, the bot itself can only kick/ban someone for a total of 15 minutes. Anything longer than that requires human intervention.Interesting. It banned me for excessive nick changes... 30m. (I got no instant response to the /nick command so I hit it 20 times with several different nicks, and then they suddenly blew in at once ) | Arnie wrote: |

I guess your ISP uses dynamic IP addresses, and the IP address you have at the moment was previously used by someone that's infected. If you reset your modem (or router), you should get a new IP address, and then it should work fine It was fine to notice that there are so many people in IRC on these days.

!@#$% bot
Please remove the protection script. I hate that thing. I wanted to try out the cgiirc and when i entered the channel and left again the bot banned my hostmask and kicked me. Nobody using the cgiirc webclient can enter the channel now.
there are also a lot of people banned for 15 min because they said something the bot doesn't like or quoted something.
I think the bot is not useful in any way at the moment and we'd be better of without it.
FrihBot should be renamed BanBot. I also got banned several times for all sorts of stupid reasons... The bot does serve a purpose, I am sorry if the purpose it servers doesn't agree with you...but it's not going away.
Yeah you have no need to complain, because you can unban yourself, but I bet if you couldn't you'd be locked out all the time for no reason just like everybody else... 
what's the purpose of the bot?
Putting the logs online? If you want that I can do that.
Protecting against floods? We didn't have any of those yet...
protecting against bad word usage? The bot bans you for 15 min and most of the time the users hate the bot for that but don't change.
Anything else the bot does?
yes....it keeps me warm on cold nights.

And so it should I am strongly leaning towards a No_Lurking rule for the Frihost channels, this not unheard of, it actually policy on all Official Dalnet Channels.
I do not wish to drive any users away, but if you are going to join the channel I strongly urge you to at least try to participate, or you are simply wasting other peoples time when they try to be friendly and speak to you. This is not a forum format, it is real live-time CHAT.
Also setting of the channels to +m (moderated) maybe in order. This would weed out those who simply wish to join and watch....that is fine, but you would need to contact a channel operator for voice capabilities, if you don't wish to participate, this mode will be of no bother to any user at all.
And you are willing to provide 24/7 moderation so as to give voice to new users? If not, that'll be the end of the channel.
As one of the IRC users I can say you'd be wasting my time and chat experience with those rules, that are supposed to protect them.

the modes are back to normal....but who is to "protect" the staff from people who join and just wish to watch? Are we to to just continue trying to talk to them in a friendly mannor when they will not respond? Now THAT is is a waste of time and effort.
This is a simple enough problem, you wish to talk feel free to join, if not....don't. The whole thing is voluntary.Frankly I wonder who else really cares about idlers... it's not like we're going to reach the channel's user limit soon, is it?
| Arnie wrote: |
| Frankly I wonder who else really cares about idlers... it's not like we're going to reach the channel's user limit soon, is it? |
No smartass, but it's not for lack of trying. Thank You so very much for pointing this fact out publicaly to gain post points.I've been a long time mIRC user and i've seen alot on there. (other than frihost channel)
I'd say the channel work pritty well as it is, it has Vrythramax in there quite alot and other regulars join frequently.
Perhaps the bot is a bit too advanced for such a small channel?
Im thinking it should hand out at least 1 warning b4 it bans for say 10 minutes.. then 30 minutes on third offence.
Also you talk about people idling, well if this is going to take action. How about the bot kick people who have idled for 2 hours? Personally i wouldnt like to be kicked if i were to idle for two hours, cuz someone might have highlighted me, so i would scroll up to see wat was said.
Anyways, my point was that i think the channel doesnt need as much automated moderation.
Oh i've just noticed the numerous post slateing the bot... I hope you can see this isnt me slateing the bot, i have nothing wrong with it, i've never ran into any trouble with it. It's just constructive critesism (typo). Why would I need post points when they're at 52 and will soon get reset to 45 anyway? And it's certainly not for those ~2 Frih$... With all respect: you brought up the topic of +m yourself in this public topic, so there's nothing wrong with me responding to that. And the fact that you reply so vehemently says enough about whether my post had solid content... @Max
Come on now, I doubt Arnie meant anything by it. Lurking is a big issue now because the channel is so small. Once it expands and reaches a much larger population, then the lurkers won't even be noticed. There will be so many people to talk to that they'll just be the outcasts.
@Arnie
I don't think you were trying to gain points (you've got plenty), but it may have seemed so to max. Just try to look at your post from every aspect and angle possible to see if there is anything that might have come across as so.
@Hammy
Keep working on that constructive criticism .
God bless ,
Pampoon Well I have been put in my place. The ned for the channlbot is not so much for restricting users as keeping the channel registraion active. I spend as much time there as I am able, but that is not a perfect situation. Daniel15 and I are working on the bot's configs when we are able, but all of you must understand that the duties and (any) services we provide are 100% Free, and we are all volunteer workers.
Please have patience.

I understand you and daniel are working on the bot as much as you can. But please remove the protection script untill it's modified to suit the needs of the channel.
I made a mistake and joined the channel twice, just got a permaban.You are not banned either by the bot or in the channel bans Rvec, I just checked.
i was. And i think Hammy knows who unbanned me.
Edit:
kick: (Rvec) was kicked by (FrihBot2) (Advertising detected. (* #*) :: [Mon Jul 16 09:47:30 2007] - Banned 15 minutes ·79·)

No spare time to waste on the bot doesn't mean you can just put some unfinished bot in the channel. I prefer no bot at all.

I can make a better bot if you want me to. I can have a better bot up and running in one day. I just don't want to be an op if you keep telling me I am not active enough to be one. I you promise me to stop that I am willing to try again.??? What does all this stuff mean???

Your firewall or router is blocking the identd and apparently DALnet had some bad experience with people from your ISP/region, because they won't let you in without it. I think if you forward port 113 to the machine you're IRCing from, it'll be fine. Quote from the site in the messages you got:
| Quote: |
| If you have difficulties connecting to DALnet because you cannot run ident and the message you receive whne you are disconnected is K-LINED (as opposed to autokilled), try using another server. |
you are trying to connect to rumble.fl.us.dal.net
try swiftco.wa.us.dal.net or some other dalnet server instead. Actually I believe that AKILL is in response to a backdoor virus that has been spreading thru dal's network. Dalnet has explained this on their Services website.
It wasn't a K-LINE response, but rather an AKILL.....big difference.
Just had an idea for the new template, why not put in a shoutbox-like window into the frihost irc Channel? Like an IRAME into the web-chat?
I don't have any problem with the bot at all. I've been kicked one or twice for "Spamming" while trying to give Max a few links. I got kicked, but it's not the end of the IRC chat.
Just think of the future of what could happen if the bot was not there. We could have some moron join or channel, and just spam it for hours, and there wont be any ops around to ban him, then you will all be wanting the bot back lol.
So just be careful of what you say in there, and if you are posting quickly in the IRC, just before pressing enter, count to 5, then press enter to avoid getting kicked.
The same thing with re-joining the channel, wait 5 seconds, then re-join.

You want a shoutbox, linked to the irc channel on the forum?
If that is what you mean, not possible.
First irc is a chat, not a shoutbox, so it would have to update much more.
Second, I doubt Bondings wants this on the site.
Please use the irc page if you want to join the channel:

You can /notice any PERSON you wish, yours was a channel notice...big difference. It's usually used for advertising purposes...and the bot only kicked/banned you for a few moments.To clear this up there is moderator named Traveller, but is nickname on IRC is Traveller-Frihost.
I apologize for any confusion. _SainT_ thought he was doing the right thing.
And I STILL cannot enter even DalNet net! Stupid IRC...
Firstly I was k-banned and it said to me that I have trojans. I've checked my comp (there really were some viruses but I've deleted it) and connected again.

An AKILL is very differant than a k-line. There ave been a rash of backdoor viruses that attack channel services, an some servers as well. These may or not show on a virus scan.....they could be coded into whatever script you are using to connect.
More information can be found at http://kline.dal.net/for some reason i am not able to access the irc channel at the moment
where you trying the webclient?
Try again, max banned you by mistake. You are already unbanned.
Yesss!!! I can access IRC channel now!
I just needed to delete my ip address from some lists.
I'm trying to access it using pidgin IRC client. what info is needed to be put in?
you already where in so you probably don't need that help anymore.

If you are using mIRC as your chat program select a specific server instead of the random Dalnet server option.....you will find the result quite different.
(I was wondering where you had gone)im currently using the one thats for FF, (cant think of the name of it) do you know of this as a simaler options ( I wish not to dl another program if I dont have to just yet)
ps: I was on today... but you were away...the pinged out... and noone else was there...so i quite.. and I tried to get back on now... after my 17th try... i said ***k it, and made this post.
@m-productions
I think your taking about chatzilla and I have never used the program myself, but I will look into it for you.
I'm sorry I missed you when you came in....but even I need to sleep occasionally. Thanks, that would be a great help.... its really getting annyoing having to connect so many times... Iv just been giving up.
hello members,
I was going through the forums when I noticed this "IRC" word, I have heard this word many times but I dont know the exact meaning of it, would the senior members be kind and tell me what does "IRC" exactly stand for?
Hope that I receive a reply soon, I myself presume this is somewhat kind of chatting program is it?, I am a computer science student therefore it becomes all the more important to know these techie jargons!!
Ankit,
IRC = Internet Relay Chat.
It's a chat protocol, a bit like your online chat room, except that you need an IRC client to handle it for you. The most popular one is mIRC, I believe. IRC is not as popular among some people as Instant Messengers and other online chat rooms because there are a few codes and commands you could learn.
You could just search for more information on wikipedia.
If you really want to get into the history of of "Instant Messenging", it all started with IRC (Internet Relay Chat) which is an acceptable, and recognized protocal (just like http, https or ftp) on the Internet.
Their are many who still prefer this form of communication....and it can be beneficial to learn.
I personally hope to see you there, there are many users, forum mods, and channel ops to help you anyway they can. It can be a very friendly place. can some one tell me how to get irc? like what do i download and stuff.
You can download mirc on http://www.mirc.com and then open this link: irc://irc.dal.net/FriHost/
you can also use http://www.bierkip.nl/cgiirc but for some reason this is real slow i am still working on that
you can also use some other irc client. Search google for irc client for more clients.
If the link above is not working in your client type this text:
| Code: |
| /server irc.dal.net:6666 |
wait till you get some text telling you are connected. then type:
More help can be given in the channel (changing nick and some other functions).
If your client asks for a server type: irc.dal.net or search for DalNet in a list.
If your client asks for a channel type: #frihost
If your client asks for a nick please use your forum nick if possible. my CGI:IRC webclient hasn't been working for the last few weeks so i'll ban every IP. Nobody can login at this moment and I am working on something else. For now everyone should download mirc or try to find some other cgi:irc client on the web. Downloading mirc would probably be easier.
Edit: and we have some other changes that probably will be announced by vrythramax (no copy paste so probably with a typo). For those not wanting to wait for that join the channel.
Edit 2: The announcement:
http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-80086.html Sorry I haven't been on the IRC in awhile. I just haven't opened my IRC program in the least lately. Been having a few issues at home. I may make my big return later.

You will be welcomed with open arms....you will find we joke around alot....but we try to have a little fun and we provide real-time support on issues.
We hope to see you soon. How's the IRC channel going, guys? I haven't been in there for *ages* (I haven't been here in ages either ) Max has some trouble with his pc so he has not been in there for a couple of days (could be back any moment). I haven't got much time except for the weekends. But others are coming in every now and then. You can see the stats on http://www.bierkip.nl/frih . It will show you some statistics about all the channels (official and non-official). max will be back in a couple of days. I contacted him and he told me he will try to be back in 4 days. While he was gone we talked over 4000 lines. And max has always been the biggest talker, so it looks like it's going to be active in the channel.
Frihbot2 left the channel. This means the only stats/logs available are those on http://www.bierkip.nl/frih
I edited the first post with the new links. I've only just realised theres a frihost IRC channel.
....where've I been? lol
Well better get IRCing soon
Thanks sir for the reply, then do we also get points for posting in that chatting client as I was confused with the word "official"
or it is just forcasual chatting between frihost members?
The official means frihost owns the channel and is responsible for the channel to a certain degree. It also means the ToS applies besides the channel rules.
You will not earn frih$ or points for speaking/idling in the channel, maybe in the future but since Bondings has no experience with IRC it would take some time to implement that, and because soon on frihost is the same as 2 years in real life i doubt we will ever see that happen | rvec wrote: |
| You will not earn frih$ or points for speaking/idling in the channel, maybe in the future |
The day we get points for idling in the channel, I will be on it 24/7 (and never talk) the day we will get points/frih$ for idling on the channel the bot will get an extra script (kick idle users)
which would of course have to exclude the mods

An additional script would indeed be required... to count the massive amount of points I'm earning
Edit: LOL, nice stealthy edit! I'd enable autojoin...*doubts if he should also edit arnie's post*
what edit? And banning isn't that much harder
You'll maybe get points for speaking in the channel if we can put advertisement in the channel. But since that's not allowed on most networks we'd have to start our own server. Max and I have already thought about it and we think we could handle that but we still need someone to donate some money or a server. Anyone wanting to donate can pm me or max when he's back. I have a dutch bank account and a paypall account open for donations. | rvec wrote: |

Try the IRC network Lostmoment, there doesn't seem to be an anti-advertisement rule. I used to be sort of a regular there, they may remember me Oh and Da-Huntha is a Dutch admin. | Quote: |

*takes a look at the forum*
I somehow prefer dal.net, just a feeling.But you cannot advertize there, can you? Another advantage of LM is that hardly any nicks are taken, so you could demand users to use their Frihost forum nickname for simplified connection to the points system. We have to wait for max if we want to make any such big changes, but I think we'll stay on dalnet until we have something like an advertising system. I have no idea how we would get advertisement to the bot.
| Quote: |
| but I think we'll stay on dalnet |
Yeah, DALNet is quite good
I use VillageIRC a lot (I know one of the IRCOps there), although they don't allow bots by default (you need to request permission).I prefer Dalnet for many reasons, not the least of which is that I used to work there. If the channels REALLY start showing growth and there is a serious interest in IRC amoungst the users I will certainly consider moving to another network.
The main thing to consider here is Dal is an established network, alot of the newer ones may not last. Dal has been aroung a very long time...and I don't see it dying anytime soon.
I know where the party is at! Everybody should come to #frihost and share the fun... Toch?
Just a reminder...when joining any of the Frihost channels please try to use your forum nickname if possible. By doing this you can ask questions and even if I, or one of the other channel operators are not available. This way we can still PM you on the forums with an answer to your questions. Many time it appears that one or more channel operators are there (they are the ones with the @ symbol before thier names in the nicklist) they may either be busy with something else, away from the keyboard, or just logging the channel.
If by chance your nickname is unavailable for you to use, and nobody is really available in the channel(s) please tell us your forum nickname along with your question(s) so we can contact you through the forums. Both Rvec and myself read through the logs and rest assured one of us will contact you upon our return.
I know I can speak for the rest of the staff when I say we are looking forward to the new year, and we all hope you will help us is making the popularity of our IRC channels grow.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Frihost IRC Staff. Inderdaad?
Merry Christmas to you too Max, and good luck reviewing all the IRC logs for potential questions. By the way, you're still not going to send those 14GB Colorado DAT tapes to me? | Arnie wrote: |

Merry Christmas Arnie! We don't review the entire logfile, I only review what happened while I was away...saves alot of time, and you would believe what I see when I read them
And no, I'm not sending you those DAT tapes A little bump here, The channel #frihost-games has many very cool games and text-art is allowed...as long as it doesn't flood the channel.
The most popular game is !triviant...it's a trivia game that you earn points scores (I have the most points ) so why not stop by and blow off some steam...the converstaions are hilarious! Game help is available from any operator and the gamebot itself...so come on by....you can idle and watch, participate...or just laff at those of us who make fools of ourselves!
BTW...this makes my 3900th post....I just burn to join Blaster's 4000 club! 
I am sorry but I was just planning on installing debian on my server instead of ubuntu. I gave myself one week to do this. In the mean time my bots will all be offline, not stats will be made and nothing will be logged by the bots. I will still be in but might be a bit less active.
On this server also my site (bierkip.nl) was hosted, so every url with bierkip.nl in it will not work (stats, applet, logs, maybe some pics or other things I hosted).
sry
was planning on telling on irc first but it wasn't really planned. You're replacing Unbuntu with Debian? | Code: |

it's very simple, first take the panda off that poor girls face and download mIRC, add your personal info before connecting, then connect to any random dalnet server....once connected type /join #frihost
some people never sleep there....then again some never speak either....which is fine....they may not have much of value to say in the first place. Rest assured if you type anything in the channel....somebody WILL get back to you. I am there almost 24/7, either live or logging, Rvec is there even more than I am....just between us I can pretty much gaurentee (sp?) ANY IRC question will be answered quickly and efficiently.Man IRC was WEEIIRRDD last night... The bot would give op to 2 people (dont remeber who) then the server would remove it...all right away..the screen just SPAMED with gain ops, lose ops.. I had to leave it cuase it was cuasing so much lag for me... =(
yeah that was the 9th, the problem is solved now. The bot gave ops to me and Bock.
I changed some things and made a mod_rewrite rule so you can use the signature on the forum. This changed so much about how to use it that I decided to rewrite the post.
http://www.bierkip.nl/frih/img/rvec/2/-1/.png
This is the normal link. You can replace rvec by your own nick, 2 by a skin number (1 or 2 atm) and -1 by your timezone (GMT = 0).
There is no support for wildcards anymore, but if you use the nick 'all' you'll get the same as you did by using the % only. You'll get the last lines in the channel (all nicks) and the first char of each nick will be displayed in front of each line. Instead of the status you'll see how many members there are online at this moment.
Timezones can only be full numbers (not 5.5).
Tobias made the background of skin 1. If anyone would want to make another background I'll add it as skin 3.

Nice work on that! The very same luke that is redesigning frihost also redesigned the irc page. Take a look and tell him what you think of it on irc
http://www.bierkip.nl/frih/ very nice, i wish hed make that same color scheme for what hes working on for frihost.
Hi everyone, I've created a php script to interact with the IRC channel, you can check out the article in this blog:
http://urbanoalvarez.es/blog/2008/03/18/creating-an-irc-bot-in-php-from-scratch/
And this is the demo page, to test it out:
http://urbanoalvarez.es/chat_bot/demo.php
I posted a little while ago two messages to test it, "hello there", and "I'm a bot". Then I was kicked out for a ping timeout, it is still two slow
If anyone finds it interesting, or want to improve it feel free
Looks like a cool script, but we currently have enough channel bots in the Frihost channels, but your script could certainly be a good thing for your own channels. I would suggest checking with the server/network you are using it on to make sure it is even allowed. | Quote: |

Your ban has been lifted.I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome This-Alex (he's known by many nicknames around here) to the IRC Staff of the #frihost channel.
I trust you will find, much as I have, that Alex will be a helpful & productive member of our small community, and we can all benefit from his experience.
Welcome Aboard Alex!
Max
P.S. This is my *4000th Post*!
Thanks for opping me, I'll do my best!
And congratulations on the 4k
Alex This is to officially meant to dispell any rumours of Frihost starting an IRC Network. There is currently no officially sanctioned proposals for a new network. Nor are there any plans, that I personally know of, of Frihost delving into the chat arena.
Some members, and some staff, are currently putting together a small network, but as I stated....it is NOT officially santioned. This work (and it is work), is being done by people volunteering thier time and efforts....and they should be congratulated. Try making a new network someday....not as easy as it sounds.
When, and if, this situation changes, it will be posted, rules may need changing, etc., this will all be readily available information.
Max.
EDIT: I would also like to point out that our channel is not there for testing new bots, scripts, addons, etc., you can freely create your own channel for such purposes. There are only 2 official bots, Frihbot and gamebot in our games channel.
ANY OTHERS WILL BE KICKED AND/OR BANNED FROM THE CHANNEL(S).
*Note: this is in compliance with the Official Frihost IRC Rules, and does not reflect any one person(s) desires, or requests.*
What rumours? This is the first time I've read any of that on the forums. But good luck anyway.
Sounds Good
is it active?
I'm on at times. Thats when it's at it's most sarcastic I am active almost every day (as Rvec or Yaron), just like vrythramax and Manofgames/This-Alex.
To see how active we are you can take a look at our stats: http://www.bierkip.nl/frih/frihost.html Or you could watch Yaron's sig | Manofgames wrote: |

Careful, you'll confuse someone!

That isn't always up to date. The mysql stats tend to stop working after a netsplit or after the bot reconnects. I do rehash the bot when I notice and it always works after that, but only the txt-stats are really accurate (but it's one big txt file).For anyone who can't access the Frihost IRC channel for some reason, try using Mibbit. It's a very handy (FREE) web based irc client which lets you connect to a selection of IRC networks (Dalnet included )
Click here to connect directly to the frihost channel! Frihost's IRC is certainly active, and not going anywhere. I have been lacking in my Forum duties as I have been spending too much time attempting (with others) to get, and keep, it running and providing a pleasant atmosphere.
Both are soon to change, my first duty is to Frihost, the irc staff will continue in a mannor which befits Frihost and is helpful to any and all users.
As per a suggestion from another IRC staff member, I will not be posting in the #frihost channel for an undetermined amount of time.
I will however remain in channel the channel for logging purposes.

I didn't mean you should stop being active in the channel.
Edit by Vrythramax....FREEDOM!Good idea, I'll try to get on there soon!
WEll its nice to see that you choose dalnet . I don't feel much easy with efnet or undernet. Well nice to see frihost going on irc as well.
Our first perm-ban has been handed out. HalfBloodPrince got a Permanent ban for trying to take over the channel, impersonating other users, flooding and spamming. There will be no actions on the forums against him about this.
Here is the log of his take-over attempt and the impersonating other users.
http://www.bierkip.nl/logs/2008-7-27.htm <-- starting at 5:30
For the spam search for "google-websearch" on these logs:
http://www.bierkip.nl/logs/2008-7-21.htm
as for the flooding, the bot kicked him a lot of times for that. I very much disagree with this ban. I would like to take the time now to state my reasons why on the forums, where other members can see them, and perhaps speak up too if they agree with me.
Lets see the charges?
| Rvec wrote: |
| trying to take over the channel, impersonating other users, flooding and spamming |
Lets start with the Spamming.
Spam rules are put in place because some people do not like spam, there are numerous reasons people do not like spam (it chews up space, it is annoying to read, it has no purpose) but the reasons are not important here. What is important is that there was no people on the Channel. If spam rules are put in place because Spam annoys people, but there were no people, then what is wrong with spam?
Next Flooding.
Flooding too is only put in place because People do not like to read it therefore, since there was no people in the Channel this charge also has no real merit. See explanation above for more detail. (As a side note, even I have been kicked from #frihost for flooding)
Next Charge Impersonating other users.
First let me quote from the logs one of the first instances of this (the logs are available at http://www.bierkip.nl/logs/2008-7-27.htm if you want to read them yourself)
| The logs wrote: |

Does that look like Impersonating a user, or trying to have a good time. To me it doesnt even look like he wanted to be Rvec, he tried and successfully did switch back.
Final Charge trying to take over the Channel.
This seems to be the most serious of the charges, But I think it was done out of fun.

because he was promoting his website, in the chat (people where in, at least idling), in the stats and in the logs (all indexed by google). And we don't want that happening in the chat.

kicked for flooding by the bot is not done that fast, and although most users have probably been kicked a couple of times HBP has been kicked a lot more than the average user. And besides those kicks (which are warnings by themselves) he has also been kicked by staff members for flooding.

He did do the command to change his nick, got a msg from nickserv that he should change his nick or it should be changed for him, and there was no way he wouldn't be able to change it back. Also you forgot to paste the part where he changed his nick to Helios (2 lines above that) and the lines where he tried to make the bot op him as if he was me or helios.

I actually disagree with Rvec's decision as well. It did seem to me as he was just trying to have fun as well. Though some of your information is a little incorrect.
Where Rvec thought he was trying to take over the channel, this is where he thought it was taking place:
| Code: |
HBP (~dragon_fl@CPE001e58edad58-CM001225007afa.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) is now known as Helios

[05:54:01] Rvec (dragon_fl@CPE001e58edad58-CM001225007afa.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) left #frihost
[05:54:23] Rvec (~dragon_fl@CPE001e58edad58-CM001225007afa.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) joined #frihost
[05:54:28] <Rvec> heh, i am Rvec |
As you can see, he not only impersonated Rvec, but as well as Hellios. Which is where he tried to give himself ops. Which is why they think he was trying to take over the channel. Which I am sure he was indeed trying to get ops, but if he succeeded in getting ops, I highly disagree he would have vandalized the channel in any way (except maybe kick me )
Anyways, as this was obviously done for fun, if HBP (HalfBloodPrince) has to suffer of a perm ban for doing this exact thing, then I believe Hellios, as well as Tobias BOTH deserve a ban.
Though Hellios is indeed a staff member of Frihost, and the IRC channel, he has abused his staff powers many time on the IRC. Hellios and Tobias both teamed up, and actually SUCCEEDED in taking over the Frihost channel. Hellios oped Tobias, kicked out Max, Rvec, and the Frihbot.
Hellios has also kicked out people many times for pretty much no reason, which I understand is sometimes being playful, however HBP in this situation was also being very playful, despite all the warnings beforehand.
I myself have also received a ban from Hellios. Hellios was asking me why I had kicked someone before on the IRC channel, (Which I do not remember why or how, it was probably me and Max fooling around), and Hellios banned me because I wouldn't tell him why. He banned me banned me, so I actually could not get back in the channel, until I talked to Rvec and gotten things straightened out.
Rvec also told me that I was banned for having warnings from making jokes about other users, however the only time I recall getting a warning for this was when Hellios PM'ed me on the IRC telling me to stop calling Tobias "Tuby" because he did not like it, and I listened no problem.
As you can see, these Op powers are sometimes abused, though many times it is in a playful manner, and is acceptable.
If HBP is indeed going to keep his permanent ban, then I believe Hellios and Tobias also deserve one, as they have done the exact same thing, but worse by actually succeeding.
This is in no way directed at anybody personally, I am simply just giving in my opinion. I don't have any problems with anyone on the IRC channel, and Rvec if you decide you are keeping his ban, well then I won't think of you any different, and will still enjoy all my time in the Frihost channel.. | Ghost Rider103 wrote: |

It doesn't matter what he would've done cause we'll never know. What does matter is that he seriously tried to get ops, and thus take over the channel.

That was with vrythramax in the channel. He has founder access and could put everything back in a couple of sec. Now he is gone for a while so we have to enforce the rules a bit more. Vrythramax decided at that time that they both didn't deserve a ban, I never knew what exactly happened until a couple of days later when vrythramax already cleaned up and spoke with everyone. This time I found out the next morning, and I decided a ban was the only option since HPB didn't want to listen to warnings, kicks or non-permanent bans.

I already explained that in a private chat. It was a misunderstanding, and partly the things you type under here.

To a certain extend, and mostly on other ops or as a first and playful warning. If it is without any reason the op can probably think of one if you ask
No kidding, we really are creative with reasons.

So HBP did a lesser crime because I made the bot so good

Obviously that is nothing compared to what I have done.@HBP
oh at least he's getting involved himself now. Maybe you should pm me on irc (/msg rvec or /msg Yaron) cause I will under no circumstance unban you if you don't.
How do I know you wheren't planning on doing the exact same thing better? And how do I know you'll not try it again after you learned something new about irc?
Also I don't know how max handled that, he might've banned them for a while, but he might've also given them a warning. I do know he removed helios from the ops list for a while.

No obviously not. You've already gotten a lot of warnings in the form of pms, kicks and bans and you don't listen to them. Then you try to take over the channel, while the founder is away for a while. | rvec wrote: |

You should know HBP better than to think he would try again. Not only that, but as it has been said. It was all in fun!the problem is that he still thought it was fun after all the warnings. He just ignored them all. If this was the only thing he did he'd just get a warning and we're done, but because of all the warnings and then trying to take over the channel I couldn't just give him another warning.
HalfBloodPrince, there are two reasons why I did that. Even three, but the third one you shouldn't know about because it doesn't concern you.
First reason: I was going away for a while. Think of it as a going-away-party-joke.
Second reason: I was tired of the staff kicking/banning phenomenon that was going on: Max/Me/Rvec banning Max/me/Rvec (but not ourselves). I also like using harsh ways to get the message passed... and it works.
Anyway, Rvec explained why you have been banned.
Ladies and Gentleman the second ban ever on the #frihost channel has been handed out! Zellfaze (thats me) has been banned from #frihost for pulling a prank involving myself, my IRC bot, and 3 other users off of 3 other channels. We all sent messages through my bot.
http://www.bierkip.nl/logs/2008-8-6.htm
Here is the log. I thought it would be a temporary ban at first, but if you're proud of it I'll make it a permanent ban.
Haha you guys really are taking this thing way too seriously.
Pretty soon your going to have everyone banned from #frihost, and then their wont even be a point in having the IRC channel.
Take a look at your own stats:
http://www.bierkip.nl/frih/frihost.html
You can see everything just dropping like a rock, especially now that I am banned as well.
Scroll down all the way to the bottom, and view your monthly stats. Last month you almost hit a new record, and would have if you didn't ban HBP. Banning HBP caused chat activity with anyone he talked to do disappear. This also made Spartan no longer join the channel, along with Zellfaze. Zellfaze then decided to play a prank on #frihost, so you banned him for it. Now since HBP was no longer in that channel, and I mainly talked to him, Zell, (and Hellios until I got banned the first time, then that ticked me off).
You already had Max disappear, now by just banned HBP you lost all activity between anyone who talked to him, Zell, Spartan, and now me.
You guys need to lighten up before you end up banning everyone that visits the IRC channel to the point where only the staff may join the channel. What fun would that be when only Rvec and Hellios are the only ones who even come in there anymore? I suppose you could talk to Frihbot when you get lonely, but if you tried hard enough I'll bet you could think of a reason to ban him too.
I had a great time in #frihost the past years when Max was in their often and had more control of things, but it seems as if Rvec has taken over the channel, and is killing it slowly.
Weather my ban is ever lifted from the IRC room, I don't think I will ever return until Max takes a hold of things again, he did a much better job. 
Is it just me, or are the monthly stats slightly different this month?max has some personal stuff he has to take care of before he can come back, that doesn't have anything to do with the channel.
Hellios, I and alex talk more on msn, because we didn't like the channel as much as before. And yes HBP would've made that month a record month, but by far not the best month of the channel.
The reason I was so strict on the rules was, because I didn't have founder permissions and max was gone. So in case anyone took over the channel, I couldn't do anything.
The only reason I am keeping this channel open, is because I want to let max decide if he wants to close the channel.
I just removed all bans, everyone who wants to can join the channel again. I will also become a lot less active on the channel (still idle 24/7 though).
edit: all bans except for ghost, have to talk to some other staff members to decide when we unban him.
Well after speaking to Rvec, we decided to take the channel a bit more seriously, so:
To those who were / are banned:
I'm sorry guys, but I prefer a less active channel with quality chats and good community, than a channel with one guy who's insulting everybody and disrespecting the operators, other guy who floods the channel posts utter bullcrap and junk-lines in the chat and a third guy who sends bots to the channel to insult the operators. Better to have a slightly empty channel which without such users has the potential to grow, rather than an active channel with crappy chat quality.
Doesn't matter how many users are logged in, you must obey the channel rules and respect the operators. I hope that's not too hard...
What about the operators abusing their power etc? Won't happen from now on, of course.
About Vrythramax, we don't know how long he'll be away. He has some personal issues to deal with.
Therefore Rvec now holds the passwords etc, so address him any technical questions regarding the channel...
Where the hell did the channel go?
The channel has been hacked (or something equivalent) :
| Code: |
(9:46:40 PM) Wumingsden left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(10:15:42 PM) Frihbot5 [~Frihbot@h8922075221.dsl.speedlinq.nl] entered the room.
(10:16:19 PM) Frihbot5 left the room (quit: A-banned: [AKILL ID:1219025743K-t] [exp/comp] Compromised host, go to http://kline.dal.net/exploits/akills.htm (2008/08/17 19.15)).
(10:16:20 PM) Frihbot left the room (quit: A-banned: [AKILL ID:1219025743K-t] [exp/comp] Compromised host, go to http://kline.dal.net/exploits/akills.htm (2008/08/18 02.15)).
(10:16:20 PM) Rvec left the room (quit: Killed (services2.dal.net (Autokilled: [AKILL ID:1219025743K-t] [exp/comp] Compromised host, go to http://kline.dal.net/exploits/akills.htm [AKILL ID: OS21219025781-103]))). |
[Exp/Comp]
Nominal Duration : 3 days to One Week
User Action : Secure your machine and wait for the ban to expire.
Your machine may have been compromised and be advertising it's presence on IRC. Information stored on your PC may be available to unauthorised persons as a result of this security breach. Please check for trojans, viruses and compromised scripts. You can find a freeware trojan scanner from Lockdown Corp. here which may help locate and remove the trojan. as urban posted I have been temporarily banned from dalnet, looks like a virus/trojan somehow made it onto one of the pcs here, and I think I know which one (the one that turned on yesterday after it was off for 2 months). I'll try to scan them all and hopefully I'll be back in 3 days.
^ Holy hell, and I was wondering where you are all day
People, the channel is active.
Nothing to worry about at the moment.
The bot and Rvec will be back soon. I scanned all pcs and some really needed a scan, I also mailed dal.net to ask for the logs of the spam. That way I can see at what times something spammed, and maybe narrow it down to one or two pcs. Also I monitored the traffic of the 2 pcs that are on 24/7 and didn't find any irc traffic after turning off the bots and mirc.
Let's hope I solved it.

Fail much?
Remember that the frihost channel is also a place where you can get support. If someone need help and all he see is a messed up channel (because some people, probably just like you, are having a bit too much fun on it), he will doubt of the skill of Frihost's staff. HBP deserved his ban, I'm sure he would now admit it. For Zell, he decided himself to be banned by insulting Rvec and saying he wouldn't come in the channel if HBP would stay perm-banned. For Spartan and you, I wasn't here so I won't comment but it's probably for the same reasons, the best thing I can suggest you is to calm down and follow the rules, they are not that hard to understand and the admins are fair.
Or maybe it's all a question of maturity, grow up?First of all, don't copy paste without using quote tags.
and I'd rather have a channel with one good conversation in it then a couple k of spam lines. Just look at the logs, and you'll see the difference between the conversations with alex, mathiaus, max, hellios,... and HPB, Spartan and whoever they brought in.
edit: I spamcanned the post I am replying to here because it was a copy paste and the user made a lot more.

ROFL @ that, since a bunch of people left the channel some months ago because they didn't get along with Max. You can see some of my bickering with him in this topic and if you look closely elsewhere on the forums.

Apparently whoever is operator of #frihost takes all the heat. I still think we need a neutral channel clearly stating that it's not officially affiliated to Frihost, e.g. the good old #frih. | Arnie wrote: |

The only people I recall leaving the Frihost channel because of Max that was actually somewhat active was Hammy. Even though Max is gone, Hammy still hasn't returned, because the guy doesn't even go in his own IRC channel anymore.
I hardly ever seen you in the IRC channel when the channel first started up, and when you were in there, you didn't say much.
The reason why the IRC staff take all the heat is because they are the ones supposed to be running the chat room. They are the ones in charge, so yeah if something goes wrong it will go straight to them, because they are the ones in charge...duh...
What's the point of having two separate IRC channels? One for "official" and one for "unofficial"?
If the one for "official" was just for strictly asking questions about Frihost and things like that, that channel would get nowhere, kind of like it is now.
The "unofficial" channel would get loads more activity, and sure enough things will be brought up in the channel that are supposed to be handled in the "official" channel.
You all need to quit being so picky, it's a chat room, where people chat. It's not like were going to make you loose money, or hurt you by throwing a few spam messages at each other.
Anyways, you can all have fun in your "official" IRC channel, I'll stick to the forums. | Ghost Rider103 wrote: |

I used to be in the top 10 of the stats. You probably are in another timezone or got active later. See page 2 and 3 of this topic and note the dates.

I opt for only one, "unofficial".Sweet!
IRC is great the frihost irc cant supported by my JmIRC (Java Mobile IRC) i really enjoy the irc channel lets get more peeps in there This is really great, the first IRC channel that actually worked for me using mIRC client!
I will be in there most of the time, however i predict the channel would be much busier if you gave people with some kind of incentive, frih$ maybe?
hmm I have frih$. I could give frih$ for the most active users, but most don't really care for frih$.
i dont even kno what frih$ do! but i'l idle 24 hours a day and chat it up when there's convo lol....
Don't you mean:

?? I logged on about 2 weeks ago, it seemed pretty dead, I miss the days when it was active (and i was too lol) has it picked up any latley i wouldnt mine jumping by again to say hi.
I'm in there on occasion now, it's very lonely, noone ever there to talk.
I'm there from 900-1700 GMT+1 every workday.
In the weekends I could be online at any time.
Alex(Manofgames) is away for a couple of weeks, but when back he'll also join most of the days near 1800GMT.
Tobias is also online a lot, but he doesn't really have times
Last night I also saw zellfaze, and rightclickscott was also online a couple of times in the last week.
Just idle a bit longer than 5 min and you'll eventually find someone. I used to use IRC long time ago, but with Skype's conference chat option I forgot about it.... heheh...maybe I'll join the frihost chanell for fun sometime | Quote: |

He didn't set up a server, the server is dalnet. He made a room on that server for frihost.
Good idea, I'll be joining soon and others should do the same.

DALnet is not a server, it is a NETWORK.
The server/s are those we use/connect to, so we'll be able to join the DALnet Network.

Just an FYI =D

wow... alex is manofgames, holy crap. I know that dude and i didn't even realize it.Well folks...guess who's back
I have been away for some time and I am still getting things setup here, but rest assured I will be back in the channel very soon to drive people nuts.
I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone, and getting back into the swing of things.
@Rvec
Please have patience with me as I get things in order. Welcome back Max.
Do you plan on joining the the chat anytime soon? I usually am in there whenever I have my computer on and am working.
Hope to see you back in the chat sometime.

Thank you, it's good to be back. I have been going there (the chatroom that is) as much as possible, but I am connecting from work so I don't lurk there for days at a time...for now anyway Ghost Rider103 has made up some new banners to help us promote Frihost's IRC channel(s). Feel free to use any or all of them. Just follow the instructions below to add it to your sig.
- Copy the code from under the graphic you wish to use. Be sure to replace the part that says "YOURSITE" with your website's URL (ex. username.frihost.net)
- Right click on the graphic itself and select "Save As" and save it to your hard drive,
- Upload the graphic you just saved to your Frihost webspace in the "public_html" directory,
- Add the Code to your Sig...and your all set!

ENJOY! Great!!! I connect later.
Is the room currently working? I tried to log in about an hour ago and couldn't get in the room. It said it didn't exist. #frihost correct?
it sure does exist, I'm there (I'm connected to punch.va.us.dal.net:6668) and there is another forum mod there, and 3 forum members...besides myself as I write this.
Yes it sure does exist. Make sure you are connected to the dal.net server, otherwise you will not be able to enter the chat room.
When you first start your IRC client, type /server irc.dal.net
Once connected, then type /join #frihost
Hope to see you there.

To be more specific, if you don't connect to a dal.net server you won't be able to enter our official chatroom.
Even by chance if you connect to a DAL server during a netsplit (some network services will not work during a split, one of which will be chanserv that controls registered rooms) you could still enter the chatroom #Frihost, but it will not show as being registered. Which is fine because as soon as the split is corrected the channel will update to registered...and all will be well again.I made #frihost channel to Quakenet, welcome | mattit wrote: |
