IRC4Fun – IRC Network

On Saturday, July 30th, 2010 IRC4Fun Server Administrators (IRC4Fun Administration) voted to change Server IRCd Software.  The vote was to either keep running Unreal3.2* or change to Nefarious IRCu.

Per the vote, the change would require client and hub servers be changed over in a well organized process to prevent inconvenience to our users. The change (upgrades) were completed without any hitches!

Notes about how the Change affects IRC4Fun users:

• Channel Modes have Changed.
• User Modes have Changed.
• WHOIS Information will no longer reveal the Server’s name that a user is using (except to IRC4Fun Staff)
• /LINKS & /MAP are disabled – visit our Servers list for a listing of active IRC4Fun Servers
• Users may only /JOIN up to 10 channels maximum (This was never a problem to most of us)
• vHosts are not automatic to non-Registered users (Registered Users must IDENTIFY to N before their assigned vHosts will be activated)

Services underwent some upgrades last night adding new commands (features) for users & IRC Operators!

Below is a detailed list of the upgrade:

Added: (New Commands/Features)

NickServ
• SIDENTIFY - New command added (SIDENTIFY) which allows users (when their registered nickname is taken by another user) to issue SIDENTIFY to forcibly give them their nickname back and IDENTIFY them to Services automatically. The user that took the registered nickname will be disconnected (killed).
• N REPORT – New N (NickServ) statistical report is kept and dynamically updated for IRC Operators to view through Uworld. (See Uworld’s new INFO NICKSERV command. *This report is only available to IRC Operators.)

ChanServ

• Count REPORT – New C (ChanServ) statistical report is kept and dynamically updated for channel users to view through ChanServ. (See ChanServ’s new COUNT #CHANNEL command. *This report is only available to channel users with at least aOp access and higher.)
