irc not working
When i get on irc it says:"irc is blocked please try again later".what does that mean?-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 20:13, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
Try getting on there it's easier then telling you exactly what's wrong.-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 20:22, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
- You want me to tell you why you can't connect to IRC on IRC? :s Duskey(talk) 20:49, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
Exactly,plus i am slow at typing and it will take a long time i guess to type what the problem is,Also i don't know much about irc problems.-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 20:57, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
Not working again
The IRC is no longer working.-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 11:54, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Is it only the web gateway which isn't working? Have you tried using a client? Duskey(talk) 13:57, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Same as last time with it saying please reconnect , remember?-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 14:01, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Re-added the notice to the page. Monster - try using mIRC or ChatZilla or another IRC client. Those seem to work better. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 14:05, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
IRC cloak
Does anyone know how I can get an IRC cloak for #The_Sims which will work on other IRC channels such as #wikipedia-en or #uncyclopedia? GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 16:09, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
- Help:Wikia IRC channel cloaks works on the entire Freenode network. --Duskeytalk 17:52, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
- Done. Thanks Duskey :). Kind regards, GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 18:20, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
Itachibot
Add Itachibot on the IRC Channel page...
Itachibot is a channel bot on the IRC Channel in #The_Sims . You could see what commands he can do by using !commands
If you need help how to use the command, type !cmds help (command name) = Example !cmds help !cuddle
!info to check informations about Itachibot.. Franciskyle09 18:01, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Itachibot is also cool :D GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 18:53, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
The Sims Medieval Wiki
Should an IRC channel be made for this wiki? I have currently "created" a channel called #The_sims_medieval which has no ChanServ involvement. (I don't know how to give ChanServ a permanant home) Just thought I'd ask just in case there is some demand. GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 18:31, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
- That would be something you should discuss with their community, which is tiny since the wiki is brand new. The Sims Wiki and The Sims Medieval Wiki is not the same, we're merely linking to each other. Discussions about the game is still very welcome in the #the_sims channel. Seeing as how our channel is often quiet I doubt an IRC channel only for Medieval would have much success. --Duskeytalk 19:01, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
Freenode is dead...
Is it just me or can nobody connect via Freenode? I seem to have no CAPTCHA or Connect button appearing. GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 19:55, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
- Are you connecting through the Freenode form or the Wikia form? --Duskeytalk 23:36, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
- Freenode form. GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 07:24, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
- Sorted. #freenode told me to bypass my cache. GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 12:49, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
Help
I can't get on the IRC, help.--Eduardog3000 17:33, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Are you using a client (such as mIRC)? GEORGIEGIBBONS talk contributions 20:42, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
- I'm using the link this page gives me.
Wikia's log-in has been blocked for quite a while due to vandalism. If you are using your web browser, then I feel that it is easier to use the Freenode log-in and just type in /join #The_sims and hopefully it works. GEORGIEGIBBONS talk contributions 18:22, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, it worked.--Eduardog3000 20:48, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
Wikia login
Does anyone know if the Wikia login is indefinitely blocked rather than temporarily blocked as after a few months, access is still denied. If word has been given regarding the ultimate status then I will update the notice on The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel. GEORGIEGIBBONS talk contributions 20:39, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know, and I don't know if anyone knows, so I used code to hide it as a temporary solution. --Elassint 20:49, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
- If it's only supposed to be temporary then I'd think that the ban would be lifted sometime soon as (despite most users having clients or using the Freenode login) it is causing some collateral damage. I'm not even sure if Wikia even has control over the ban. GEORGIEGIBBONS talk contributions 21:08, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
Registering with NickServ to access
Now that anyone who wants to access the channel must be registered with NickServ, should we add this to the page in addition to instructions on how to register? I would do it myself but I'm not too sure how it should be laid out. GG (t) • (c) • (b) 16:18, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
How do I register?--Eduardog3000 21:40, February 12, 2011 (UTC)
IRC contact
Per this, it seems that Duskey will be inactive for an indefinite period, meaning that we'll need a new IRC channel contact. However, it's not as simple as it sounds. Duskey is the only one with the rights to change an IRC contact for the channel and apparantly, though not proven, Freenode staffers cannot access the channel to appoint a new one. At this stage, we are left with two options: we can try and see if Freenode actually can remove Duskey's rights and hand them over to another admin or we would have to make a new IRC channel. Before deciding on who should be the new channel contact, I think we need to discuss how we should handle this situation. GG (t) • (c) • (b) 22:38, February 12, 2011 (UTC)
