OmnomIRC revived
« on: October 22, 2012, 11:48:51 pm »
There were concerns about OmnomIRC never returning in the past weeks due to the server on which it was on crashing and no plan to put OmnomIRC back on it due to heavy resource usage. However, thanks to the help of one of our other staff, a new server was found so the shoutbox could be brought back up again!

Apparently, everything seems to work fine right now, although logs still gives a 403 Forbidden error. Also the new posts notifier bot is still down, so a temporary replacement is being used for the time being. When OmnomIRC takes too many resources on the new server, it should hopefully simply slow down without affecting the rest of the site.

Remember that if OmnomIRC is unavailable for you or if you prefer to browse Omni with it turned OFF, you can still access #omnimaga on EFnet at irc.efnet.org (server list) or OmniNet at irc.omnimaga.org. (IRC guide by seana11)

Also, according to Omnimaga Facebook page, the site was down earlier, due to an Amazon outage which, as reported by Forbes also took Reddit down.

Awesome! My activity went way down when there was no irc, hopefully others' activity will increase as well. :)

Yeah I noticed you almost vanished entirely D:. I hope you return soon. Hellninjas hasn't been on much lately too but the site is blocked at his school and when he gets on at home his parents seems to have switched to North Korean parental tactics lately

So far Omnimaga has not been blocked at my school.  Hopefully it stays that way.  I try not to go on it much there because all forums that I know of are blocked and I'm afraid that if I visit Omnimga more than once a week or so they might see that it's a forum and block it.  Does Omnimaga have an android app? I ask because I have a smart phone and it would be pretty nice to be able to check the forums through an app.

There is none, but if you got money or a credit card or something there's the Tapatalk app that is compatible with Omni.

That aside, it's really good to have omnom back.

No problem! :)
I felt that activity would be lost rather quickly if OmnomIRC was not reinstated.
Since I had a VPS available (backup2/MC), I decided to try and run it. :)
With a few setting changes, hopefully it won't crash my server... :P

EDIT: You guys should totally check out Deep Thought's web IRC! This is also a great solution if the server goes down! :)

Yeah a lot of the activity was helped with new posts notifications really and the ability to chat directly on the site. I felt that if I was in a separate window to chat, I didn't pay as much attention to the site. It also felt like both were no longer linked as much.

Yeah, I give 2 thumbs up to tapatalk. I use it all the time on my iPod. :D
One bad thing is that it still can't access omnimaga if it is blocked. (like at school)

The other bad thing is that it's not free. I wish someone could do like TI-Planet and create an app for the site. But again for TI-Planet the app is only for iOS so it limits the audience due to overpriced Apple devices (I can get a decent Android device at Walmart for 3 times cheaper)
