I was just going to enter the #marp room at Efnet and I could not get in... "Invite only" it said... after a few more tries I got in but the whole rooms was full of people or bots or whatever.. The only thing I recognized was the lazy and phuq bots.. without op!!

It looks like our friend that ironicly calls himself marp has taken over the #marp chatroom... go and look for yourself.

They are going to pay for this....

Regards

Yeah, I was there when this unfortunate debacle happened.

To all those who wanted #marp on a different network: You got your wish. It's on XNet right now. I'll be reconstructing stuff as best I can.

I'd just like to, uh, 'thank' Mark Longridge for not realizing that Barry does NOT use Xtra (NZ's answer to AOL, apparently).

Great, now I'll be opening two copies of mIRC so that I can stay on #cps2shock as well... oh,well.

BeeJay isn't on Xtra either, btw. ;)

oh, and if anyone wants to hurl abuse at them, the channel is no longer invite only. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* ;)

OK, for the time being, myself, Joey, QRS, and Mark have set up camp at #m.a.r.p. at EFNet, if anyone wants to join.

On a side note, I banned that little twat "marp" last weekend. But then one of the bots removed the ban a couple hours later. This needs to be changed, what's the point of bans if they don't take effect?

In response to BBH's question about bans expiring, a ban set by a person will automatically be removed after a certain time. I can either disable that, or you can set a ban on the bot with .+ban (ask BenJos or me about that).

As for moving networks, it doesn't seem like we will ever get that done :) There will be a #marp web page set up soon, with news and links to the stats (http://irc.lazygenes.net is the stats page for now) and trivia and other good things. If anybody wants something added to it, let me know via email. Polls are probably a good thing. Like if we want to move, we can set up a poll with a list of networks, their good and bad points, etc. Minimizing the number of networks that people have to connect to would be the main goal - I'm usually on two (EFnet and OpenProjects). But that discussion doesn't need to take place here, or now. EFnet is doing ok for now apparently.
