    Default SRL IRC channels first birthday

    Code:
    -ChanServ- Information on #srl:
    -ChanServ- Registered : Apr 12 21:22:07 2008 (52 weeks, 0 days, 17:20:13 ago)

    Now that the IRC channel has been up and running for a year, I'll take some time to reflect back on its humble beginnings.


    I remember when trying to register the srl irc channel on freenode, it had already been registered by Bebe. After a quick email, she dropped it and I took full control of #srl.

    My first step was to inform Wizzup to come have a look, see if it was worth trying to get SRL intrested. After that I got SSRL intrested, and finally posted a thread on the General section to open the flood gates. The #SRL channel had gone public!


    My ambition was to compete with moparisthebest's forum, to try to make a better, larger and nicer IRC channel than them, so I made mixster post this thread and made Wizzup put the irc link the scrolling marquee.

    By the time the first eight or nine people joined the channel, I had finished a very simple IRC bot written in scar. Now because the scar knowledge in the community was quite high, as soon as I released it, there were 4 or 5 instances of the bot running and I remember one time when they all somehow got into a big loop with each other, something like this iirc.

    <bot1> !say !say !say !say !say !say
    <bot2> !say !say !say !say !say
    <bot3> !say !say !say !say !say
    <bot4> !say !say !say !say !say
    <bot1> !say !say !say !say
    ….

    I solved it by doing !quit which caused all the bots to terminate.

    I guess that shows the power of open source, because after a while people began hacking up the bots to make them do many different things, there was a Grand Exchange price checker bot for example.
    However, as Harry and Bobng know to their dismay, (annoying) irc bots are heavily discouraged in #srl today.


    Anyway, I think #SRL is serving its purpose quite well, it reguarly has at least 35 people on it, and when the forums are down, it balloons up to 45+
    Lets hope its still around next year.

    Everyone always posts NSFW stuff there. It is not as formal as the forums. As long as they write "NSFW" on that line, they are allowed to do it, I think.

    I'll get working on some stuff and I hope to release it this evening, to celebrate SRL's IRC Channel birthday.
    One should also note that Bebe registered this channel quite a whole ago.

    Wow. Didn't know it had been up that long!

    I actually have a copy of the IRC bot (originally got it from Harry xD). I've added a bunch to it, and made it more like RuneScript, Vectra, and the like (for those of you who know what I mean ^.^).

    The jealous temper of mankind, ever more disposed to censure than
    to praise the work of others, has constantly made the pursuit of new
    methods and systems no less perilous than the search after unknown
    lands and seas.
