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)

If you have any questions about the Server Upgrades, please connect to IRC4Fun, /join #Help

Services have undergone a few changes and upgrades. Let’s start with the change-log information:

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:
