If you had your own network. reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Athetius · 2012-09-21 20:48 If you had your own IRC network, what would yo do? Would you create a save haven for people to talk? Create a free-speech zone? Be as creative as you please. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TehZomB · 2012-09-21 22:22 I'd take QuakeNet's Q without the masking feature, and take EFnet without CHANFIX or splits, and combine them. IMHO Q is the best compromise between user freedom and network control out there today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-09-22 03:18 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- austindkelly · 2012-09-22 03:39 I would immediately try to find funding for DDoS mitigation. Then try to find people to populate my network. Check out rizon.net they have one of the best networks I have seen in a while. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- meeb · 2012-09-22 13:33 Why thanks! By masking feature do you mean +x spoofhosts? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- meeb · 2012-09-22 13:38 I'm an administrator and developer on QuakeNet and founded PirateIRC. QuakeNet (irc.quakenet.org) is primarily gaming focussed with a huge userbase, vast network and organises events aimed at gamers, game studios, live streams, clans and the like. PirateIRC (irc.pirateirc.net) is a politically aimed network for the international pirate parties to organise over and has some 15 of the parties from all over the world using it as their IRC home (no dodgy file sharing! it's for political discussion and organisation). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- haywire · 2012-09-22 13:55 Further the field of cruel and unusual punishment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-09-22 14:22 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TehZomB · 2012-09-22 15:45 Yes. Are you a Q developer? :P ---------------------------------------------------------------------- meeb · 2012-09-22 15:52 Have been in the past, did the old Q snail spamming module! I usually do some of the Lua services, backend stuff in Python and recently rebuilt the website, though. edit: oh and +x / user spoofhosts are pretty mandatory on IRC these days, removing it from a network design would be... bad. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TehZomB · 2012-09-22 15:53 Nice work. The website looks great! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- meeb · 2012-09-22 15:55 Why thanks! It's not that awesome but better than most IRC related stuff. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Paimun · 2012-09-22 16:59 Run a sooper secret headquarters for the Illuminati to discuss the NWO. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rubinlinux · 2012-09-22 20:31 I'd make AfterNET. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kettesi · 2012-09-26 19:12 I'd make a chat where use of anything but a Team Fortress 2 quote gets you banned. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- owat · 2012-09-30 00:01 A minimalist QuakeNet where Q has the functionality of L with a qwebirc client which allows a plain white background as in #ffffff. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hintss · 2012-10-14 00:02 wasn't it backwards compatible with normal irc? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-10-14 04:54 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KsaRedFX · 2012-10-14 04:59 Haha, i just stumbled across this thread today... the 14th Lastnight I got a 2Gbps DDoS on my server, that is part of Snoonet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-10-19 09:05 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Athetius · 2012-10-21 20:56 I really hope your network attracts many users, and I hope that you are rarely if ever attacked. (I would wish to not be attacked, but the question is when not if). Might I ask the name of the network? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-10-22 06:40 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- krux9 · 2012-11-05 20:11 When it’s ready, PM me, please, or make a post here, I’d like to see a Belgian network some day.
