Third Time Lucky for OPN

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.

Just a few notes to everyone

Hello,

I'm dent on Open Projects, and I'm the one who has been the manager for the conversion project.

The conversion has gone mostly smoothly this time - service was only down on each server for about 5 seconds. The database has been converted including the access lists for channels, which we did not do last time (yes, when the ircd was coring...).

If you are a channel founder who changed the default LEVELS in the old services (which has now been renamed LEVEL), your access lists were converted - but everyone's access level was set to 0 as the new services uses a different trust metric system.

Please also note that the auto-expire functions in services actually work now :). Be sure to identify to your nick/channel at least once a month, or your nick/channel will be dropped.

If you are a founder and find yourself unable to change the access levels, you may find "/msg chanserv identify #channel yourpasswordhere" will do the trick for you. If not, drop by #conversion and we will be happy to help you.

I'd like to thanks lots of people for help with this project, its been great working with everyone. Not in any particular order, asuffield, jeremy, MysticOne, robster, cdlu, andy, Acapnotic, lilo, netgod, Teknix, John, crystalize, Matt, DanielS, ElectricElf, InnerFIRE, dark, draco, drow, matthewg, peidran, and someone else on #python who helped me with the db conversion who I feel horrible for forgetting their nick, please remind me if you read this :). If I have forgotten anyone else, which I am sure I have, my appologies, please do remind me - its not that I didn't appreciate.

I hope you enjoy this new network code - it has been almost 2 years in the making.

Well, I have just discovered that I have ops right now, and take personal offense that you are accusing people like me of being Nazis. As a result, and to teach you a lesson for showing such impudence, I am moderating you down as a Troll.

So there.
