    I suppose this will help U.S. corporations with their fight against domain theft. Although the U.S. attorney's offices don't like taking domain theft cases. i.e. http://www.gamesnet.net/ As useless as ICANN is, I do agree it would only be much worse if it ended under the likes of an international body such as the U.N.

    Sad part is that this is the only thing really going in the US.

    There are LOTS of people on CPL/CAL, its still a good place get matchs. And they keep track of the team rankings for you. Not sure whats so "Sad" about it, we get weekly matches. And you can visit #findscrim in irc and find scrims for practice.

  3. EnterTheGame sucks. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on CNN Says Chat Rooms Are a Haven for Hackers

    As a former EnterTheGame user, I have to say: hanging out there is bad for your mental health.

    The network is run by some hopelessly incompetent people; they run several ircds on the same machine because they either want to look larger than they are, or have no idea how to support larger client loads with a single ircd. Rumor has it their services are written in Visual Basic - this seems quite plausible, since the machine they run on appears to be an NT4 box, as does linux.enterthegame.com. Ironic.

    Recently, www.enterthegame.com was pointed at 127.0.0.1 for little more than a week. Their server list is hopelessly out of date, and uses some rather creative geography - according to EnterTheGame, Singapore is actually Sweden. There are server aliases that supposedly connect users to European, Asian, and African servers - these actually appear to point to servers in America and New Zealand.

    Their service is awful; users are sometimes forced to wait for hours for someone to register channels. EnterTheGame's largest channels happen to be dedicated to anime fansubbing - hardly on-topic for what is supposedly a gaming network. For a network that seems to enjoy claiming title to the best gaming chat network in North America, they certainly don't show the technical proficiency or common sense you would think they'd need.

    I recommend GamesNET. Their staff are far more competent at running an IRC network, and have even developed some very nice IRC services, called srvx.

    In short, EnterTheGame sucks.
