-Your IRC4Fun Services Team

We completed a Services Upgrade without any hitches on Friday, July 9th, 2010.  Read more to see more information about the Upgrade.

Services underwent an upgrade that has added (and removed some obsolete) features!

NEW FEATURES:

1. CService bots (W or X) will now be automatically assigned to Channels upon registration with C (ChanServ). The assigned CService bot will join the channel whenever there are 1 or more users actively present in the channel. The assignment (once completed) is permanent and will not be changed;
2. vHosts will also be automatically assigned to Users upon registration with N (NickServ). The assigned vHost will be: Nickname!ident@IRC4Fun.Users.Nickname.
3. Have a lot of channels that you like to join, but not sure how to make a script to join them all? N (NickServ) can now automatically join you to a list of your favorite channels when you IDENTIFY to your Nickname! For more information; type:

CODE:

/ns help ajoin

OBSOLETE (REMOVED) FEATURES:

1. ChanServ LIMIT command (Removed) -This command allowed Channel Founders to set a Dynamic Channel Limit (+l) with a buffer space to prevent Floodnets from joining and flooding the channel.
This command is really obsolete; the same can be accomplished without +l being reset constantly which can be distracting from chat and generally annoying. To accomplish the same thing; simply set +j 5:5. (/mode #channel +j 5:5) This will Throttle joins per-user to joins per seconds seconds. For more help, type:

CODE:

/join #Help

If users need help with any of the new features; they are invited to

CODE:

/join #Help

and ask their questions there. If nobody is available to immediately help you in #Help; you can always send a Memo to us via:

CODE:

/ms STAFF my message here
