WHT IRC network
Hello everyone,
I'm sure many users aren't aware that there is the WHT chat channel, and after looking at the index page, it's hardly advertised
There is the affiliate link once in a while but why isn't there a 'Chat now! thing in the area where Home // Profile // Search, etc is?
I also propose the following for the WHT chat:
- Move to CGIIRC. Many people don't have java or hate using it. A CGIIRC based one is fully perl based, with a c (compiled) version to help with speed
An issue that used to happen with the webchat was that real IP's were never passed forward.
In UnrealIRCD 3.2.5 (latest, came out a few weeks ago) it introduces full support with cgiirc, so they are able to share information, putting the users real ip on a host
CGI-IRC - http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/
Unreal - http://unrealircd.com

- All popular VPN methods supported
- Affordable offloaded MySQL & DDoS protection
- 5GB backup space, unmetered private LAN bandwidth & native IPv6 included. All with a strong serving of pony

I concur with the above, only with the modification of using a real ircd, rather than unrealjunk

I'd love a change, for some reason -- the current IRC never works at my home. I've tried countless things to fix it, asked mods at one point and nothing works... sigh
The second I go to my friends place, who's network is nearly identical to mine, it works.GeeksGather - Undergoing redevelopment. Stand by.

Speaking of the IRCd, I'd be more than happy to assist with the network if they changed things a bit

It isn't a very welcoming community at WHT-IRC, most of the users there are stubborn and not willing to help. I suggest that some nice users are invited to post there before anything else is improved or revamped.

A lot of the people around here are to busy working to be able to chat on IRC.

An IRCd setup for one channel? Meh. Put it on a network people actually use and I'm sure you'd have a more willing crowd.

Get rid of overzealous channel ops that ban you for something simple as:
Guess I'll have to find you a sense of humour on ebay

The 1 or 2 times in the last 3 years I have stopped in the irc room I did notice people being unfriendly BUT do you want to know why they were unfriendly?
I'll tell you why.....BECAUSE IT'S NOT A TECH SUPPORT CHANNEL!
At least half of the people who stop in have a million and one questions about why their server was hacked or asking a billion and one questions about which forums is better "vB or IPB" . Now don't get me wrong, asking a question or two is fine but question after questions after question after question tends to piss anyone off and in return you receive unfriendly people.

#1 reason you've been on WHT too long: you use forum emotes in the irc chat in the event it gets posted on the forums.
