right you guys.
i was an oper on chattingaway for as long as darkbasic was there. from the way things were, out of all the servers only me,dj747,tm218 and mattp99 knew how to maintain a irc server. if you notice anyone missing like tripleh or fud, thats because.
back in august fud asked triple to help sort out his server config, to which He couldnt work out what was wrong. triple then asked me, because? he didnt know how to configure one aswell.
over the months there i worked out triple didnt even how how to use SSH, from memory he used a webbased config editor. also later to my knowledge he's been paying for the servere, yet he has no user/password to use SSH if and when anything happened.
one day when lightning went down, the server rebooted but the ircd didnt, i waited for triple to come on and guess what? he didnt know how to get it running. so i had to call mattp99 (he owns lightning) to tell him we need the user/pass to boot lightning up again.
when we first moved to the network they were using different hostmasks, bartcop server was using nochimps-TR552H56Y ? it was me who forced them to do ca-f894nf9 so bannings could be easier.
i suggested at least 30 improvements for the network, how many got done without the need for me? 1 or 2. i had to remake their forum, i had to creae a oper forum, i had to tell them what anope modules they needed. oh everytime i done something i had to run it pass triple, but sometimes i just done it anyway.
i will admit the darkbasic servers were a bit unstable the first couple of months we went there, but i kept looking for better servers and i found one. it has proven to be rock solid.
monday i think was when lightning went down, it took me 6 hours to learn that the shell company wasnt doing ircd's anymore. so we adjusted the dns settings to make sure less people got sent to the wrong server. who done the dns stuff? me
i done most of the work on that network. many opers will agree on me. beer has proven to be a stable server since i got it. on wednesday kentaree pmed me and suggested him buying a irc server and the possibility of making our own network. what would you say? yes? no?
the move probably came at the worst time. e.g. lightning died and their only server is darwin. but i asked many people before i actually accepted the move and they all have the thumbs up on it.
so please stop the digging at people. some of you people dont know the facts. oh and jimmy i know you dont like me but why keep posting im a fag?
me and kentaree are here to help you lot.
oh and ask yourself who was the person banning spam bots.
