Hmmm... I seem to be having trouble psoting to alt.irc all of a sudden here...
I try one more time on this and hope it doesn't show up multiple times...

-------------------

Well, thanks to the great response I got on my post a couple weeks ago, I've
added another 9 or ten nets to the list. The page now contains forty (yes 40)
different IRC Nets and servers for each! I still can't guarantee the accuracy
of all the information... but I appreciate all the reports I got updating
servers and the like. I hope I'll get more until the list is 95% accurate.

For anyone who didn't see the first post, I'll repeat some of that post here:

I enjoy IRC and I have put this page up as a service for the many IRC'ers who
are getting tired of all the lag on the big nets. I welcome input from anyone
out there who knows of Net's which are not listed... or of servers which are no
longer active, or perhaps more reliable than ones I have listed.

Please go to http://www.teleport.com/~netpro
and click on the "Internet" link and then on
the "Internet Relay Chat" link in the second paragraph.

PS: you may also enjoy some of the entertaining graphics and midi sounds as
well as the extensive resources listed for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 and the
Internet Resources like a listing of 17 shareware sites, etc.

Enjoy! And thanks for your input [ flames will be redirected =:o) ]

Re: the subject line:

Well it's like this:

ON the big two networks, there are teens who have it out for their
parents. They have been grounded or maybe the folks are divorcing or
something else rather unpleasant is going on...

...the first place these kids go is a 30s channel to take out their anger
on innocent people who remember Fizzies and The Beatles. The channel
founders become militant and guard their (illusory on efnet) territory and
become paranoid buggers (who knows? Maybe they just dont wanna update the
info on their homepage). Others who only wanted to chat start up satellite
channels with the illusion that the same thing wont happen to them;
they're damned is they set +s or +p and newcomers dont see their channel
on lists and they're damned if it's wide open for more disfynctional teens
who are scoping out 30s channels to indirectly get back at their parents.

Hence an overabundance of 30s channels.

Thanks kids! you've been great! NOT!!!!!!!!!!

Ironically, when bbuster attempted to mail bomb me (For in his words,
i did not show him the ``proper respect'' that he was due), he didnt
even have the originality to change the "from" line so that it didnt have
a common attribute (if i told him what it was, that would take out all
the fun.); It didnt even require more than one procmail entry to send
all his email to /dev/null.

Whats even more ironic about it is that i TOLD him i would just throw
away all the email he sent to me, but he did it anyhow. I sent the
obligatory email to his sysadmin, and his sysadmin said that bbuster's
side of the story was that i had provoked him, and he was just protecting
himself from me.

Whatever. ;-)

I agree with both of you, but STILL you can find jerks all over IRC not
only on efnet. Face it, jerks come in all shapes, sizes and AGES. ;-)

However, I have to admit that except for a couple of channels that I'll
visit briefly at a pre-determined hour to chat with like-minded folks I
spend very little time on efnet as the trouble makers seem far fewer on
the smaller servers.

Yep.

I may chat with acquaintances from time to time on efnet who have this
imaginary fence around themselves and allow themselves to continue being
victimised by unknowns with takeover fever, but I won't enter a channel on
that network myself. The other nets - except undernet which isnt THAT much
better - do a little for justice and everyone's happier.

I generally hang out on channels where I'm treated well by those with
the @'s. They set the tone for the channel. The ops on the channels
I frequent take (I believe too much) delight in ejecting idiots.

An op's job (and yes, it is a job) is to provide an enjoyable
environment for people to chat in, *whatever* the people on the
channel deem enjoyable. If you are not ready to do the job, you
shouldn't wear an @.

When the ops are on the ball, there is no trouble with troublemakers.
(And the private attacks I can take care of myself.)

This is the common mindset on alternative networks. The efnet once again
is the culprit in twisting around a function. Efnetters practise opping
their friends or opping people they've seen before (on one channel I left,
opping enemies too because they were regular enemies - HAR! What a
concept!). As you know from a previous post, a friend of mine was kicked
because some guy decided he didnt like her and he was summarily opped for
that purpose. Then again when the takeover kiddies come into that channel
even now, thos poor schmucks scatter like frantic chickens and huddle into
channels with similar names. So when the going gets tough and they have to
do some REAL operating, these dorks havent a clue. And that goes on all
over efnet! Sometimes when they leave they bring this practise over to
the alternative networks, but it isnt so prominent.

Even Underwearnet's FAQ states the purpose of op status.

This sort of thing doesnt exist on DalNet. Isn't it a good thing? :}

I checked for the x-troll header line, and you either forgot, or you
don't have a cl00.

The "C" in IRC stands for "chat". Not "flood", not "takeover" but
"chat". That's the reason I'm there. Takeovers, floods and such seem
to be the primary entertainent on EFnet. I happen not to find that
enjoyable, so I stick to DALnet, where I only have to worry about
channel protection when services are down.

Makes the experience a whole lot more fun for me.

As far as I know, Dalnet doesn't require its channel operators to
follow a "mindset" (but then again, I may be overestimating them).

Channels are like houses. Chanops have keys to that house. If you don't
like what happens when you join someone else's house, you're free to
make up your own house (channel) and set up your own rules for it.
Generalizing what happens on one channel to what's acceptable by
everyone on the network is silly. Different people/channels have
different sets of policies, principles, etc. This even differs at an
individual level.

Ohh..and I do recommend Prozac...

Mmmm

And most of the DALnetters who post to alt.irc practice making sweeping
generalizations about everyone on all the other networks. Why do you
suppose that is?

HORRORS! No wonder you left! How can anyone stand to stay around on
a network that permits such actions? I guess it's a good thing DALnet
filters out all Bad Things at the server level.

DALnet isn't as pure-hearted and good as you'd like to think! If you
don't believe me, just /msg NickServ info CrackBaby, and you'll see the

Actually there's a down side to this...

I seem to be involved in defending against a channel takeover attempt
about once a month. It seems that this character was AKICKed from the
channel for being a jerk. Now true to form, he rears his ugly head
whenever he catches chanserv down, and the net splitting.

In this "protected environment", many ops and regular people don't
have a clue on how to fight this guy. It's usually two or three
people who have to secure one or the other side of the split. :-(

This fellow is pretty good. He clones, and sets channel modes pretty
quickly. But there are more of us, and we can usually hold him off.

But the good news is, it's never permanent. When services come back
up, he's deoped and kicked, and we live happily ever after (until the
next time :-( )

This seems to really bug you, Adam. At the mere mention of ChanServ,
you start hopping around yowling like a scalded cat. :-) You really
have a problem with complete channel ownership and control.

Well, there's no peoblem like that on EFNet. So if you like anarchy,
and enjoy channel wargames, feel free to stay there and play to your
heart's content. :-)

A channel is only as good as the founder and SOPs make it. If they
don't assign enough AOPS to keep the channel under control, then it is
ripe for abuses by people wanting to spoil others' fun.

I personally don't stay on an opless channel.

You mean like the way Undernet and Efnet mark their channel +i? Even when
the other help channels are deserted? We've gotten lamers thrown off the
network, and we're grateful for the access to 'realm for real emergencies,
which is why it IS open.

At least it wasnt like the #irchelp channel on NewNet I visited for
homepage info a couple months back. Some whiner got pissed off that his
dumb question wasnt answered and started flooding the channel. Heh a pity
none of the ircops were around to give him some Pampers, cause they were
all set away or concealed on their own locked channel.

You like that better? Go to newNet and have a nice day :}

I try not to make sweeping generalizations. The few times I've tried
EFnet (and could fine a server on which I wasn't k-lined). I found
the experience quite disconcerting.

It reminded me about back in the 80's when all the idiots bought CBs
just to throw carriers, and disrupt people with their powerful
sideband radios. I turned it off, and never went back.

I'm sure there are nice channels on EFnet with competent ops. It's
just that in my short time there, my disgust level was reached before
I could find them. If you have any suggestions, I might give it
another try.

Yup, I love that "Bad Thing" filter :-) But seriously, I have found
more order on dalnet, and that order help me chat with my friends and
enjoy myself without being bothered with takeover artists, and
flooders. I vote with my feet.

Sure, but to expand on the analogy, it's like having a house with a 24
hour armed guard. You don't have to worry about someone breaking into
your house, ejecting all of your guests, locking the door so nobody
can get in, etc.

I read the MOTD on one of the few EFnet servers I was on. It said,
and I paraphrase: "if your channel gets taken over, don't come to us,
we don't care, just go to another channel".

Sounds like EFnet. If the other guy has no support, he won't hold the

running the channel.

Actually, Adam, that is a pretty big flaw in the way the services
system operates. I used to have my kill option on in NickServ, but it
got to the point that when NickServ was lagged, it would kill *me*
before I had a chance to identify.

They thought about distributed services, but the increased trafficking
of all the servers keeping in sync was prohibitive. (At least that's
how I understood it).

But so far, it works out pretty good as far as I'm concerned. It's
adequate for my needs.

That is true. Many only know the registration command. I have made
it my business to train my aops in the finer points of ChanServ. I've
asked them to deop and kick me and watch what happens. I then show
them how I mdeop them, and akick them from outside the channel, then
invite myself back in. :-) The fire drills are kind of fun. Keeps
our skills sharp.

Sure. But the only disadvantage of this is that our friends won't
know where we moved to. (And I have to admit, I actually *like* the
excitement once in a while :-) )

That is the way it ought to work. IMO, ops isn't a "badge of honor",
or a "clique membership symbol", it's a job, and the job is to make
your lusers' stay on your channel as pleasant as possible,

And I even have to admit, that if you find enjoyment in taking over
and protecting channels, that applies also, but only if everyone is
interested in playing. People have their fun in different ways. :-)

This page makes no attempt to list all servers. Anyone who has any clue about
IRC knows you can use the /map command on most of the big nets like EfNet and
Undernet to get a full list of servers. Obviously, you are one of those with
no clue... To list all the servers would be pointless

As for accuracy of the servers, NO ONe can keep them up to date, they change
with the weather. I encourage everyone in my posts and on the page to inform
me of changes and I'll make the corrections. Idiotic flames like this truly do
no on any good and only waste bandwidth.

/map (normally /quote map (IRCII) or /raw map (MIRC) only works on
Undernet based ircds (undernet and DALnet) and is used to show the
topology of the connected ircnet.

To get a list of servers use /links

IRCII comes with a program written by Ian Frechette called IMAP which,
when loaded and run, will show the topology of the ircnet as well.

This thread has TOTALLY lost site of the original message which was to point
people to what is, I believe, the most complete listing of IRC Nets on the
Internet. It does NOT attempt to list all the servers for each. I suggested
the /map command for Undernet and (erroneously, it turns out) for Efnet.
Thanks to M.D. Yesowitch <yeso...@rocza.kei.com> for the correction... Use the
/links command on EfNet. I haven't found a command that works on DalNet but my
site has been updated to include only (but not ALL) current DalNet servers.

Again the directions to this listing are
http://www.teleport.com/~netpro click on the "Internet" page link and halfway
down that page for the IRC link in bold blue letters

The page is provided as a public service by my company and I welcome any
updates. They will be added the same day they are received.

This guy really qualifies for the IRC luser of the year award! I won't waste
bandwidth responding to the drivel, but I will answer the direct question. Mr
Meyer wasted an incredible amount of time flaming me both in the newsgroup and
by e-mail but failed to look around my site at all or he would have been able
to answer his own question:

Many people use dual monitors out there in the computer world. Macintosh has
had the capability since the late 1980's. Only recently has it become an
option on windows-based PC's. The company which sells the card I use is called
Tridium Research in the Seattle, Washington area. What this amazing card does
is double the desktop and allow 2 monitors to function as one superwide virtual
screen. The monitors are side by side and fully synchronized and the mouse
moves freely between the two. I can have separate apps on each screen and use
both simultaneously or I can open one like a spreadsheet across both screens.

For IRC, it's really great because I can have mirc up on one screen and be
doing e-mail, newsgroups or web browsing on the other while monitoring a couple
channels in full view all the time. I sometimes will open two copies of mIRC
and have one on one screen with my favorite channel on undernet and use the
other to browse other nets to see what's new. Personally, I love it and have
turned a few other people on to it who are as happy with it as I am. I DO NOT
work for the company (I once did do some marketing for them), but am just
sharing what is absolutely the best feature about my personal computer. I
wrote an article about it for Computer Bits Magazine which will be out next
month... on-line as well.

That sounds like a simple solution, but the problem is is that newbies
don't know how to do that. It's pretty frightening when you get
someone who nick and text floods you for the first time. You are
trying to enjoy yourself chatting with your friends, and this happens

I had an opportunity to help a lady out in a channel I was on that
this happened to. I said to her:

o Remain calm. Look at nothing that doesn't have my nick in front of
it.

o Tell me the last nick you remember from this miscreant.

o I executed a /raw whowas and gave her the ban mask to ignore. I
said type the following in exactly. /ignore *!*nick@*domain.com

She thanked me profusely when the problem was over, then I could teach
her exactly what I did in a more calm environment.

But saying "rtfm" to a newbie who is in a crisis situation is a little
cruel.

Not really. The IRCop should have either pointed the user to an
appropriate #*help channel, or taken a couple of minutes to help the
user him/herself.

And when you are in a flood situation, it's too late to rtfm.

I do have to say, though, that we encourage anyone who's getting flooded
by someone to come find an IRCop and give them logs of the flooder. Flooding
in any form, private or public, does harm the network and is something that
we don't want.

If a user can provide a log of the flood, we ask that the user show the log
to the IRCop, who will then take action.

The person who told the user to ignore the flooder was not an IRCop, and in
fact we discourage that sort of response - if a person is being flooded, the
IRCop is to look into the situation and find out if anything can be done about
it - and if so, take care of the problem user.

Hey, Dal, if you're responding to #drealm logs on alt.irc, I've got a few
for ya :) The general theme is of me making an ass of myself, but the
IRCops are always happy to jump in too.

Features
--------

1) My akill after msg'ing (harassing) an IRCop, asking how they manage to
screen out people with senses of humor.
2) An IRCop telling me to make #kidporn-warez-eboai +s because it fits the
#*warez* filter.
3) An IRCop ridiculing me for wanting to force #pot and #reefer (do these
exist?) +s when I say that they are arranging illegal drug trading there.
#pot and #reefer are exceptions because YOU CANNOT DCC DRUGS. The same
episode includes the infamous Gina from Virginia (VA) skit (a must read).

> : : You mean like the way Undernet and Efnet mark their channel +i? Even when

I can come to the Undernet's defence here...I have been visiting
#wasteland at irregular intervals since the beginning of this year,
which is as long as I've been on the Undernet...and in all of that time
I can't once recall #wasteland being +i. The EFNet I can vouch for thru
one experience...I tried to join #Twilight_Zone just last night...It was
+i. And while we're talking about how wonderful DALNet is, allow me to
inject a small amount of balance. I may not have been on it all that
much, but at the risk of sounding offensive here there are some elements
of DALNet that are way too controlling, in my book...NickServ is the
best example that I can think of. Also, ChanServ comes across to me as
being just a little bit *too* good...I know this is going to sound
strange, but don't you think it is a good idea to have a channel
registration service that is just a *little* vulnerable?? I can give you
an example of what I mean...A few months ago, I and a few other people
were permanently banned from the Undernet's #bible when we tried to
protest about the treatment of a number of people by the channel's ops.
There were a number of people leaving the channel really
offended...Children leaving in tears...And genuine seekers being
alienated from Christianity. Because of X we were unable to perform a
channel takeover, and the only other course of action would have been to
go to #cservice who in all likelihood would have taken weeks before
anything was done...There was also the possibility of the #bible ops
lying about things to any cservice reps who might have come to hear our
case. I am Australian, but I am aware of what it says in the American
constitution about the people's rights to bear arms against the day that
they will have to defend their country from it's government. And I say
we need something similar in channels on IRC. If the channel
registration services are made impregnable, it will mean that our only
other recourse of action in the event of bad ops is admin defined
beauracracy. If I was ever going to start my own IRC server, or net of
servers, and I hope to perhaps look at doing something local with some
relatives soon, I would not have a channel registration service, for the
above stated reason.

Hi Tony,

> cruel.

As you said above, saying rtfm in the crisis situation is definitely a
bit harsh...And I think it's great that you taught the woman in question
how to protect herself...But by the same token, once the initial crisis
is over, then rtfm would definitely be my advice to any and all
newbies...You'd be amazed at how many channel ops I seem to have known
who have had only a very superficial idea of how to use banning in
particular...Some on Christian channels for instance thought that in
normal circumstances it meant typing something like "!ban" which might
have been the command to do it thru one of the channel's Guard or Bible
bots!! I guess if you've never used the commands before, then some
benefit of the doubt can be given...But not much. I myself took the
initiative to read the Undernet FAQ, the history file, Nap's IRC primer
and the old IRC FAQ pretty soon after I first got here, and I don't see
why anyone else can't do the same. :)



> And when you are in a flood situation, it's too late to rtfm.

Yep, which as said above, means that perhaps they should have taken time
out to at least read *something* before they first signed on. Flooding
*seems* to be becoming a fairly rare occurrence in my perception on the
Undernet these days, and I can't speak for EF or DAL, but surely if you
dive straight in completely unprepared, then you're asking for a flood.

Every time I've looked there the EFNet seems to have become locked up
tighter than a drum...I have no idea how people are running clones from
the same user@host, what with all the server login tests I get when I go
to sign onto the EFNet. Really disappointed me actually, cos
occasionally I have felt like some war games, or just a nice free net,
only to find out that it didn''t seem to be that any more at all! :(

Cservice does not interfere with the actual running of a channel and
who gets opped and who gets banned. That is the responsibility of the
channel operators. Channels are like houses. If you don't like what
goes on in a particular house, you're always welcome to start your
own house.

Oh no! I thought that I had finally defeated them last time, but
I must have been wrong. It's THE RETURN OF THE ELLIPSIS!!!

Run for your lives people! No longer are we safe in this environment!
No longer can we rely on text being faithfully transmitted! No longer
can we be sure of what we receive!

I for one, wanted to know what Adam wasn't supposed to be getting much of,
but it looks like I shall never know. It would seem that I am doomed
to a lifetime of pondering this very question, and others, as a result
of THE RETURN OF THE ELLIPSIS!!!

Be careful, Katlady, for I fear you have already been infected. If
you're lucky though, we might have caught it early, and in that case
you have one small chance of survival. Yes, you must return to EFnet,
the One True Network, and never deviate from it thereafter. &;)

Repeat after me, Petrus: "ChanServ is my friend... ChanServ is my
friend... ChanServ is my friend..." Believe it yet?

You have no recourse on *my* channel. That's right. It's *my*
channel. My users don't make the decisions of what goes on in *my*
channel *I* do.

*My* channel is not a democracy, it is a benign dictatorship. *I* am
the dictator. Those who I trust carry out *my* wishes. Period.

If you want to join *my* channel, you are free to. But you will
follow *my* rules (which will be enforced by *my* AOPS in *my*
abscence).

That having been said, people vote with their feet. If I'm a prick,
I'll be the only one on my channel, and that's no fun. But the fact
is, if you don't like the rules of the channel, you are welcome to
vote with your feet and go elsewhere.

Long live ChanServ! Long may he enforce. :-)

One of the tenets of most nets is that, barring felonious activity in
most cases, what is done in a channel is up to the channel's founder.
You don't like what's being done in the channel? Leave it. Is your
/part command broken?

I can think of another "recourse". Start your own channel and run it

Funny, /links works on Dalnet every time. Has been for a long time
and, I suspect, will continue to work in the future.

Maybe you spelled /links wrong.

Hmmm, I was thinking more along the lines of "because NickServ sends out
subliminal brain-washing messages." I'll have to ask her about it next

Not in my book! On the contrary, I had a lot of fun tying up NickServ
and putting her to the lash. She's quite obediant, you know! Once I
break her of this "nick kill enforcement" business, she'll make a
wonderful submissive.

Why, because he's on att.net, which probably has as worse a reputation

The point was, someone was railing about channel services on DALnet.
I was commenting on the lack of takovers on DALnet as opposed to
EFnet.

And how often is "extremely rarely"? :-)

Lots of k-lines on efnet are very arbitrary. There may certainly be
k-lines out of need, but there are also k-lines out of ego. I got a
k-line once because of my username (hi brian2!). Any protestations to

You really didn't catch the spirit of the previous posters comments.
I can identify with the persons sentiments, as I've had much the
same experience. There is a real reason why Efnet attracts the type
of users that it does, and why it also discourages the type of users
it does.

!Unfortunately, I couldn't find the X-Moron: header in Tony's post.

Awwww, yep... say it isn't so... You've cheapened my award in my eyes.
It's no longer prestigious enough to hang on my wall. I guess I'll

I don't see why you don't mean Tony, he's as much of a "cl00bie" as you
are, and as those you profess to be speaking to are. Might as well call a
spade a spade here.

And anyone with any sense of clue knows that we're on DALNet as well. Not
because the network is better, we just like to sit around and make fun of
"cl00bies" like yourself. Speaking of fun-loving group of lamers, seems
like you have your own group (hi, #dragonrealm!) over there. Get the same
amount of traffic EFNet has, see how your "friendly" opers handle it, then
come talk to me.

Oh, or perhaps they come over there to netsex such 'l33t chix as yourself
and Moonchaser? Hmm?

I should hope so. I don't think anyone else would be interested in
claiming them. Aside, maybe, from the gestapo^H^H^H^H^Hcrack k-line team.

I have the greatest respect for the k-line team (Selestra in
particular). They keep DALnet safe for those of us who like to
*chat*. (You know... chat? That's what the "C" stands for in IRC)

Nah...if I held grudges for being k-lined, I would've suggested Frazz
or HoopyCat or a bunch of others who I can't recall right now.

I know...chatting with Selestra is quite a satisfying experiance, and I
can get you logs for proof!

Why? I didn't pay and I saw somebody get k-lined for merely talking to a
DULLnet oper. How fascist! So much for the "friendly" net..

I have no respect for people that pester system administrators that do NOT
care about this foolish game called IRC. They take their "jobs" too seriously.
Also, I cannot have respect for somebody who represents an "organization"
who tries to tell customers of one ISP to go to another merely because
the "organization" saw it necessary to k-line an entire domain. That's just
plain rude and socially unacceptible.
