This week, the Omnimaga staff began the restructuration of its official IRC network dubbed Omninet, a network aimed to be specialized in programming and graphic calculators.

However, since the first days of the restructuration, magical equine creatures known as ponies has been seen under the hood. Indeed, Derpy and Fluttershy, two pegasi (winged ponies) from the mythic town of Ponyville, Equestria, has been given operator access on the network, the latter even owning one of the servers linked.



DerpyBot and SweetieBot, robotic copies or respectively Derpy and Sweetie Belle made to be responsive 24/7, and one of the princesses of Equestria, Luna, has been seen on the network as well, with SweetieBot taking up the channel administration duties.

We are still unaware if the ponies are only here to help or they secretely plan an invasion or a coup d'état from Equestria on Omnimaga. Omnimaga, as we know from its -maga suffix, is an important producer of magic of all types, a resource Equestria extremely values.

Software is being written by Eeems to help manage the different servers and statistics software has been installed with stats on all the channels created, its users and plenty of graphics updated real-time. The chatbox on the header of the site is also linked to both Omninet and EFNet. While our official IRC channel is now on Omninet, the link to the channel on EFNet is still being maintained for the foreseeable future.

The current Omninet operators are Eeems, Geekboy, Sorunome (Derpy), Alberthrocks, AngelFish and Juju (Fluttershy) and the servers are {omni,eeems,irp,saphira}.irc.omnimaga.org.

That screenshot inspired me... It looks like a pony invasion lol.

For the record, Saphira is the dragon from the Eragon books. I often name computers after either dragons or female anime/cartoon characters.

EDIT: Oh, right, you should make it more geek-ish: /^(omni|eeems|irp|saphira)\.irc\.omnimaga\.org$/

Err, actually the regex would only match that value, {omni,eeems,irp,saphira}.irc.omnimaga.org would return every single one of the results (Try echo {omni,eeems,irp,saphira}.irc.omnimaga.org in bash)

EDIT2: Oh, and what kinda bot is SweetieBot? Self-programmed? Eggdrop?

BotServ

Please please please never get rid of efnet connection, efnet is awesome and I kinda have other channels I sometimes use. Easier to have it all in one place.

I don't think the EFnet chan is going away, else someone will most likely take over it then make his own Omnom bot anyway (that links both channels). However, even if staff keeps it, all the bots will be hosted on Omninet, so I'm unsure if commands like !tibasic will still work from EFnet (they probably should, if they already work from OmnomIRC)

Yeah probably that, although it was more an example.

Why everyone here loves ponies? xD
