compuguru Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Just a quick question. Can I make my webspace become an IRC server for my site? I tried doing a search, but IRC was too short. Quote
bellringr Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 This is what the AUP says about IRC: You may not use IRC scripts or programs that interfere with or deny service to other users on any other server, host, network or channel IRC BOTS ARE PROHIBITED You may not engage in activities which harass other users. This includes, but is not limited to, "flooding" (rapidly entering text with the intent to disrupt service), "flashing" (disrupting terminal emulation), "takeovers" (improper seizing and abuse of operator privileges), attempting to send private messages to those who do not wish to receive them, attempting to return to a channel after being banned from it, and other disruptive behaviors. You may not attempt to impersonate other users. The use of nicknames does not constitute impersonation. You may run "clones" (multiple simultaneous IRC connections) and "robots" only as permitted by the host IRC server. So I guess it would depend on the script you use, but I'm sure a tech can clarify matters better. Quote
Madmanmcp Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 IRC is actually a program/service that will need to be installed, so if you do not have a dedicated server it may not be possible here at TCH. What is listed in the AUP is about scripts that are run on IRC and not about running an IRC server itself. We had a discussion awhile ago about this but not sure if we listed any sites to download from. But Here is the one thats used at Prodigy. h_tp://www.shadow-realm.org/ Quote
