Title: OmnomIRC temporary offline
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on June 25, 2011, 11:50:10 pm
Due to some strange glitch with OmnomIRC, which are probably resulting from Netham45 having tried to make it compatible with Internet Explorer the other night, we have taken it offline until it is fixed, in case people post "test" messages in channels, which may not be convenient for the people there, especially third-party channels.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this might cause. For now you can access #omnimaga and #omnimaga-fr using an IRC client ( http://lmgtfy.com/?q=irc+client ) or Mibbit (http://chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.efnet.net&channel=%23omnimaga), which is located on EFnet network.

Edit(Netham45): OmnomIRC is back. Please forward all complaints to THIS SITE (http://forum.efnet.org/viewforum.php?f=10&sid=40a41f6a61e3dc6a795faf8ee9331eb7)

Strange. OmnomIRC kept spamming join/parts on OmniNet too...

Also added a link to Mibbit for your convenience.

Just make sure you unblock everything.

I blame this one on EFNet. The damn server I was on (Choopa) k-lined me for no visible reason what-so-ever, so it kept trying to reconnect, getting whacked for k-line, restarting, trying to reconnect, etc..., flooding the chatbox every time it joined the chans properly on OmniNet.

Also, from this point on, I am going to use mzima exclusively for bots, as they seem to be the only bot-friendly server (as in, the only server that isn't so goddamn stupid they randomly k/d-line people who match an unpublished list of generic identifying traits).

Good to know it's back, the only thing that doesn't work is scrolling, but it's ok.

This sucks Netham45. However does Mzima allows multiple connections?

Yes. In fact, they're the only server on efnet that doesn't have a connection cap.

Ah that's good. Was it made on purpose for those running botnets or something due to other Efnet admins being picky? I remember a few years ago no bot were allowed at all on EFnet O.O (although people used eggdrops anyway)

That's all I know about their policy on it. I just know that I've had 8 or 9 clients on there before while developing bots and such.

Ah good to hear. By abusive I guess they mean flood bots or stuff like that. I hope they remain up for a while.

Why do they allow everything O.O

I doubt they do allow everything, but at least they're less restrictive. ALso they seem more stable.
