Third Time Lucky for OPN

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the got-the-switch-on dept.

DanielS writes "We finally converted OPN to use dancer-ircd at about 7:40 last night (AEDT - UTC+11) - and this time it's staying! The conversion was successful, apart from some minor services wrinkles which we had to iron out. If you have any issues with channels/services/whatever, please pop by #conversion and /notice one of the ops, and we'll eventually wake up and help you. Happy IRCing! :)" He's talking about irc.openprojects.net- also worth checking out irc.slashnet.org.

    Aaaah, IRC, I used to hang-out on UnDeRnEt back in the day, I was the guy who started #pascal and got X/W into the channel at the time. Hung-out in #C++ alot also. Err I did until I got banned for insulting one of the Ops rather harshly. That was fun back then...I think I'll have to stop by OPN...I have once for help witht he DXR3 drivers...very useful network.

  2. Minor Services wrinkles by tiny69 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As soon as the change was made, ChanServ proceeded to kick and ban everyone on #OpenBSD. I heard this happened on quite a few other channels as well. One person even said that ChanServ flooded his channel with messages.

    For the most part, things are running fairly smoothly now. Since the services are going to require you to identify yourself at least once a month, it funny watching OPs trying to get forgotten founder passwords replaced for their channels.

  3. Statement on behalf of OPN by Daniel+Stone · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hi, I'm DanielS, who originally submitted the story. You can find me on irc.openprojects.net as DanielS, if you want to talk to me. Around an hour ago, OpenProjects started experiencing severe difficulties caused by a minor bug. All of our servers disconnected, and were all independent. Because of this, one of our operators took the decision to revert back to the old codebase. Please be assured that we are working on it, and hope to redeliver you to the dancer codebase very soon. It's been very upsetting for us to see the revert happen. As anything breaks, I will post news about it in #conversion, irc.openprojects.net. This channel is moderated, and is for operators to post news only. /msg me if you feel you have something newsworthy. Thankyou for your patience and your support of OpenProjects Net. We hope to see you there soon.
