Very nice Netham45, Alberthro and Kerm

Now it should split the bandwidth between two sites and with both bots separate, I think they should be easier to modify if needed.

At one point, it would be nice for Netbot45 to notify people on join about how to enable/disable notifications, for people who don't want to see them. Something like "Welcome to Omnimaga IRC channel. To disable post notifications from either OmnomBot or saxjax, set an /ignore on the bot you want to hide them from (check your client readme)."

Some people may not like those bots, but are not aware it is possible to hide messages from them. The only problem is that if you frequent #cemetech, then you won't see chat from people using Cemetech's site chatroom. I think some client lets you ignore bots/users per channel, though.

It makes post notices much smaller on IRC. Else it wrapped on two lines of text on some screen resolutions and took too much space. Cemetech saxjax bot, which was added to Omni channel (the tradeoff being OmnomBot being put in #cemetch) had this for over a year now. SpyBot used to do so, too, but it often gave the wrong TinyUrls and once, instead of landing on the right post, I landed on a porn site.

Also Omnom is supposed to be OmnomBOt and its nickname truncated from OmnomIRC, but for odd reasons, the copy Netham45 is hosting broke and he didn't bother to fix it. Alberthro loaded a backup bot for the time being. He used a different nick due to omnomBot still being online for odd reasons.

One concern I had a while ago is tinyurl banning saxjax due to overuse, but from what I've seen, it doesn't seems like they care much, so I guess it's fine if we use them. Keep in mind back then Cemetech was getting 50 posts a day, though. Now they average at 150 and we average at 240, so that's a lot of tinyURLs in one day, especially if a period of the day is busier than usual.

hmm, a problem is that SAX takes a tiny url from omnombot and turns that into a tinyurl


I get an error

SpyBot used to do so, too, but it often gave the wrong TinyUrls and once, instead of landing on the right post, I landed on a porn site.

It would have been hilarious if it landed on
