Yeah it looks like Netham45 forgot to renew his domain name. I wish I knew the actual location of the logs on his server, so I could link to the IP address and appropriate directory. Just the IP itself links to bonkedbyascout.com. I hope he can retrieve the domain name and it wasn't stolen. Personally I wonder if it wouldn't be best to just use an Omni domain or something, though, to prevent this in the future. I'll post a news about OmnomIRC offline.

I don't think the way to go is close OmnomIRC, but then again, I'm not that active so I may not have the full picture of the actual problem. Anyway, maybe raise the post req to about 100, that would kill most trolls dead.

Also, the link isn't working for me. Gives not found error.

(sorry for eventual dp, my internet is lagging like hell)

Well we are gonna close it if half of the time spent there is just to moderate, otherwise it would be fine. The issue was a drastic increase in troublemakers in the past 3 weeks, which mostly active users noticed.

As for the current downtime it's because Netham45.org domain name expired.

Hmm, it seems that a lot of people are suggesting to increase the post count.. hmmm... I think 50 would be a good idea, it is just around the middle, but, hey, that is just my opinion :)

I'm not too sure about increasing the post count, although I guess that could be a temporary measure. People get pissed at the 20 posts limit already. X.x

Here's an idea: when first signing up, have the person read each rule one by one. Basically, have a page for each rule, and a next button. Only having one rule at a time on the screen makes it much harder for people to skim over stuff.

That's a good point, but people may have limited computer time, and may want to get on Omnom, but it takes them a while because they only have limited computer access time. Of course, they could use #omnimaga on EFNet, so I guess it's kinda a moot point.

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Maybe go with the +v idea, and have people ask a moderator/admin/irc op after they have reached the 50 posts.
EDIT: 800th post!

Ooooh, that is a nice idea, especially if you mix it with making the next button taking about 15-30 seconds :D

I like the timed button idea, or we could insert a random word / phrase in the middle of each rule and ask for the person to type it in. I've seen this used successfully on a minecraft server.

I have seen some forums (like my own, running ABXD, link in my sig) that requires finding a word in the rules and type it in at registration, so you must read the rules in order to find out the required word. Of course, lots of people will nag you on IRC saying, "what's the word I'm too lazy to read", but oh well.
