#marp move?

Seymour · Post by **Seymour** » Thu Apr 05, 2001 12:30 pm

OK, from previous posts on here about the IRC channel for MARP, it's pretty obvious that EFnet is a pain in the ass and moving elsewhere would be a good idea.


Gameboy9 suggested starlink, and I agree. It seems like a pretty good network. The thing is, we need to have a channel owner, and 7 supporters. I would have to be the owner, because of the bot that announces uploads and tracks our users (bots need to be owned by the channel owner). This isn't a problem for me at all, I'm familiar with IRC garbage, and I've been helping out with the channel for quite a while now

So, I need 7 supporters for this move - send your nickname and email address to me at seymour@iname.com, and I'll set things up, and announce it here when things are done. And if anybody actually has any objections to this move, voice them here. Overall, I think more people will be pleased with the move.



I apologize to Gameboy9 for going ahead and posting this message without waiting for his reply to my email

But since not everbody on #marp regularly reads this message board, spread the word! I don't want anybody's opinion to be left out.



...hoping for a better irc experience...

I disagree. EFnet does have its periods of instability, but it's
still a fine network.



Also, since I'm an op in a certain other channel, I'd need to have
two mircs open to be there and #marp - which means I'd never come to
#marp.



Moving to a no-name irc network won't help much on the quality of the
experience, and it certainly won't encourage other people to come
aboard.

I almost always have two mIRC windows open at the same time
anyway... one to EFNet and the other to OpenProjects. Why not move
to OpenProjects instead?

Hmm... I never even thought about OpenProjects - I go there a lot
myself. That could work. Maybe we should have a discussion about
where to go, if anywhere.



As for not leaving EFnet, there are some people that can't manage to
get on any servers, which is obviously a problem. Having 2 copies of
mIRC open isn't too big of a deal. I wouldn't be leaving EFnet
totally myself, being an op in another channel there as well.

I went ahead and registered #marp on OpenProjects
(irc.openprojects.net) in case that is where we end up. Things are
easier to get done on this network, too.



I change my recommendation to move to this network instead of
starlink

Hi
I can't find that OpenProjects server. It is not listed on my mIRC
program. Please help.



Bye.

Connect to irc.openprojects.net and get a server list.
