I don't know if anyone's even in it right now but I tried to do the IRC thing (for the first time, please be gentle). I downloaded chatzilla and tried to log on, but it said "(Your GECOS (real name) is banned from this server)"

I saw someone else had the same problem and someone else responded to change the name from chatzilla... which I think I did, unless there is another place I have to do that. Still, it's not letting me in, for the same reason.

heeeellllllllp!

Common problem when using Chatzilla..

Make sure you change your user info to anything BUT "knewknowhow"... (sp?)
Not exactly sure where to find that right now, I'm too drunk to figure it out and check..
Go to- Chatzilla- Preferences- Global Settings- And under the General tab.

Chatzilla ftfw.

afaik, mibbit can accept irc commands, at least those most clients use.

try this, pick one of the specific servers Ame mentioned and in the console/chat box area of mibbit type

/server irc.serverhere.domainhere it should auto connect on whatever available port there is (usually something like 6XXX), or just do what I do and let it connect to irc.slashnet.org directly, a server will be selected for you (least, this works fine in mirc and a lot of other irc related clients)

has a java chat on the HF mainpage, that connects to the irc room, been considered?

Mibbit keeps blocking me telling me too many connections from my IP...

And yet tonight was the first time I tried to connect from home...

Any ideas?

The problem with mibbit is that it will let users connect through the same (mibbit) IP address as others mibbit users. This is viewed as 'cloning' on the IRC server, and only like a maximum of 5 are allowed on the entire server.

I'm not sure why mibbit is suddenly so popular when it is like the dumbest way ever to connect to an IRC server. :p Especially with so many better alternatives around.

If you're a FireFox user, try Chatzilla. Windows; try mIRC. If all else fails, use the java client on the slashnet website. Though through some twisted form of irony that last link will fail as slashnet.org is having DNS issues.

Otherwise.. Google is your friend. :p

Good luck! :)

No one came out unscathed.
 

And apparently, that caused some kind of ruckus for the stats page...or...something? Eyes or whoever they are on here banned and ignored me when all I wanted was an explanation. Moss explained it to me...kind of...but I have no clue about programming or coding or whatever the hell it is that this fucked up.

Now, I'm apparently banned because I was asking for an explanation about why it was such a big deal. I still don't but screw it. I'm a moron when it comes to computers, especially coding or programming or editing logs or whatever. I don't understand why this whole shebang needs to be edited or why it screws up the statistics of the chat so much or why it's important in the first place.

Anyway, I'm apologizing for the drama and stress that I caused because, as I said, I'm a fucking moron. All I wanted was an explanation, something along the dumbed down lines of "Speedy things goes in, speedy things comes out".

He apparently was repeatedly asking why the nick changing was such a bad thing, as far as I can read further in my logs it was explained already at some point, but I assume he either didn't get it or didn't see it.

Anywho, I'll explain:

Everyone has a nickname, which is caught in the logs. Everything this nickname types is being logged and linked to this nickname for the IRC stats page. Changing nicks around messes this up obviously: everyones nickname got linked to other peoples nickname, making them the same person.
Since Ame wants to keep the stats page clean and truthful, Ame had to go through the logs and change the nicknames from what everyone said back to the actual person. A lot of trouble and not really fun to do, seeing as the logs are quite large.
Hence she got irritated when Nick kept asking stuff instead of just either saying sorry or dropping the subject. He just should've let things calm down and asked what the stats thing was all about then.

Not worth a permaban, imo, but a temp ban in the heat of the moment I could see happening. I hope it'll all get sorted out.
 
/facepalm

I asked why keeping stats was important for anyone other than those responsible for keeping the server alive. Eventually the answer came back "for fun".

That sure as hell doesn't look like fun to me. People were still pissed off about this a day later. Incredible.

Thing is, Ame was treating me like an idiot about it, saying things like "Are you serious?" and I was dead serious about it. And of course, I'm going to get irritated when I see a comment like "Can I kick him, now?"

If I knew it was going to cause such a disturbance in the Force, I would've just used "ThatMossGuy" or something, instead. I didn't mean for it to be blown out of proportion, I just wanted to know why everyone was (or Ame, anyway) was freaking out so much about it.

I felt like I was being treated like an idiot because I didn't understand. It's the same kind of thing when I first moved to Toronto and was treated like shit by bus drivers or token booth guys because I had no idea either how to get around the city or how various things about public transit worked (being from a small town and not understanding it). Same thing. All I wanted was an explanation and I was shot down and treated like a piece of shit.

I think that explains it very well. The two who posted before, who were not there, did not really get a good picture of what was going on. And while ThatNickGuy might have felt that he was simply asking questions the problem was the attitude that was coming through to the rest of us. It seemed hostile and as I said before, intentionally obnoxious. Maybe he didn't mean it that way, but he should have taken people's reactions as a sign that he should either shut up or change tactics. In a text only format there is no way to gauge tone of voice or facial expression and sometimes that causes problems.

But it seems that things are getting resolved and that is good.

Just remember that Ame is the Goddess of Irc... do not question her.
