Title: FSTDT IRC and how to get there
Post by: Shane for Wax on January 04, 2012, 03:57:05 am
server: irc.digibase.ca

channel: #fstdt

To access via Mibbit (http://chat.mibbit.com):
1) select "Server" from the menu; input the server above.
2) enter your forum name in the "Nick" box with underscores ( _ ) in place of spaces if necessary
3) enter "#fstdt" (without the quotations) in the "Channel" box
4) if you have a password for your nick, click the "Auth" link; otherwise, skip to step 7
5) select "NickServ" from the pulldown menu that appeared in step 4
6) enter your password in the input box that appeared in step 4
7) press the "go" button

To access via ST Webchat, here (http://chat.shatteredtears.com:9090/?channels=fstdt)
1) enter your forum name in the "Nickname" box with underscores ( _ ) in place of spaces if necessary
2) Upon entering the channel, if your nickname is already registered, you have 60 seconds to enter your nickname's password in the text box with the following code:
    Code:
   
Code: [Select]
/msg nickserv identify [password] if you have a password for your nick; if not, skip to step 4
4) press the "Connect" button

If your way of getting onto the IRC is different (IE you use Pidgin or Trillian) and you don't know how to get on, feel free to ask.


---------------------------------------------------
Please, PLEASE register your nick!
To register your nick type the following into the chat input box:

    Code:
   
Code: [Select]
/msg nickserv register [password] [email]

where [password] is your chosen password (without the brackets) and [email] is your email address (without the brackets). Remember that your password is CASE SENSITIVE! A password set to ExamPle will not be accepted if it is later typed as Example or example or EXAMPLE or any other variation.


Once your nick is registered, you should enter the following every time you enter the channel unless you use the shortcuts outlined above:

    Code:
   
Code: [Select]
/msg nickserv identify [password]

This will enable you to access special permissions that will be enabled by the OPs.


---------------------------------------------------
Following is the list of current Channel OPs:
Channel Founder:
Keiro

Access lvl 10:
Distind
Kradorex

Half-Op:
chad sexington


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


If you have any questions or comments, or are experiencing technical problems with the IRC, post here. If your question, comment, or problem is of a private (but relevant) nature, or if for whatever reason you do not wish to post it in the forums, PM whichever OP you think has the permissions to handle what you need handled. If that OP does not have the permissions, they will either direct you to the proper OP or speak to that OP on your behalf.

If you have been banned from the chat, you disagree with an OP action, or a user is doing something you think needs to be taken care of, do not drag it onto the forum threads. If it concerns a general user, PM any given OP if no OP is in the IRC at the time. If it concerns an OP's behavior, PM the OP in question. Once again, DO NOT DRAG YOUR ISSUE ONTO THE FORUMS! The forums and the IRC, while connected, are entirely separate in terms of governing. The forums belong to Keiro and Distind and abide by their laws. The IRC belongs to Keiro, and abides by his laws.

Please note that though some of the Channel OPs are also Forum Mods, not all of them are. Channel OPs can help you with the IRC, not the forums. If you have forum problems, contact a Forum Mod.

Added nifty Chat link at the top. :|

Should render this basically moot, now. Except, obviously, for those who use Mibbit or their own IRC clients.

That was a major pain in the ass to add into the bar.

Why am I not surprised that it's now on Keiro's server? :P

Because we wanted a private place to watch the first ever FSTDT Sexlympics.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH YOUR OWN IRC CLIENTS, YOU CAN ACCESS THE IRC SERVER AT irc://irc.shatteredtears.com/fstdt

I'm running into the same problem I had before now that the link uses Mibbit: I can't find the server on the dropdown menu.

... Follow the directions in the OP. specifically, the one listed for Mibbit.
Title: Re: FSTDT IRC and how to get there
Post by: Kain on February 07, 2012, 07:01:37 pm
I've followed all the directions but I seem to be the only one who's online every time.

Also, why does the Chat button link to Mibbit, now?

These are the directions you should be following. That includes you, Lithp:

server: irc.shatteredtears.com

channel: #fstdt

To access via Mibbit (http://chat.mibbit.com):
1) select "Server" from the menu; input the server above.
2) enter your forum name in the "Nick" box with underscores ( _ ) in place of spaces if necessary
3) enter "#fstdt" (without the quotations) in the "Channel" box
4) if you have a password for your nick, click the "Auth" link; otherwise, skip to step 7
5) select "NickServ" from the pulldown menu that appeared in step 4
6) enter your password in the input box that appeared in step 4
7) press the "go" button

And as for why, it's because the ST Webchat is down because I don't have enough to cover the bill for the server hosting the Webchat.

Ah, okay. I'm in, now. Cheers.
Title: Re: FSTDT IRC and how to get there
Post by: Lithp on February 07, 2012, 07:57:34 pm
I tried that, but I keep getting hung up on that step where I have to enter the server. If you want me to click on that thing next to the dropbox that says server, that doesn't do anything. Frankly, I thought it was cosmetic.
Title: Re: FSTDT IRC and how to get there
Post by: Nightangel8212 on February 09, 2012, 05:20:07 pm
I can't go into the chat anymore! I just keep getting the Mibbit thing and that one doesn't want to work! :(

And I was so happy I could chat again in the new forums. DAMNIT!!
Title: Re: FSTDT IRC and how to get there
Post by: Lithp on February 09, 2012, 07:01:27 pm
I resolved my issue, & just in case it helps everyone else:

For some reason, if the screen is too large & it cuts the text of the link off partially, the WHOLE link won't work. So if you're only seeing "Serve," then you might want to try using Ctrl- to shrink the screen. You can always expand it again once you're in the chat.
Title: Re: FSTDT IRC and how to get there
Post by: Nightangel8212 on February 10, 2012, 02:39:51 pm
Well, I can't get anything to work for me, so... I guess I'm screwed for chatting again. Sorry to all those who liked visiting with me in there, but with the old chat gone, I can't do anything.
Title: Re: FSTDT IRC and how to get there
Post by: Paimun on February 10, 2012, 03:33:06 pm
Have you tried a standalone client like mIRC, XChat-WDK, KVIRC, IceChat, Irssi, something like that? I use XChat myself and it works great. I can help you if needed. :P
Title: Re: FSTDT IRC and how to get there

It's back online now - the webchat. :x

DO NOTE: irc.digibase.ca is available for those who have IRC clients, it leads to the same channel, even if irc.shatteredtears.com is unavailable.
Title: Re: FSTDT IRC and how to get there
Post by: Keiro Dreamwalker on February 11, 2012, 02:21:06 am
... Whoops. My bad on that part. The Webchat's repointed at the current server now while network maintenance is going on. <_<;

Hmmm... Both servers seem to be down since yesterday. To me at least.
Title: Re: FSTDT IRC and how to get there

I got on Digibase just now.
Title: Re: FSTDT IRC and how to get there
Post by: Shano on April 24, 2012, 06:21:20 pm
Hm. Very weird. I connect to my other networks without a problem. I would think I may have got a g-line, but if that were the case I'd at least get a connect message instead of connection timed out...
Title: Re: FSTDT IRC and how to get there
Post by: Shano on April 24, 2012, 09:35:19 pm
I got on Digibase just now.
Are you still able to get on it? Since I am running tracert and it's timing out (I ran web based tracerts to make sure it's not my ISP problem).

This is where my tracert reaches and then times out. I am not sure if it's an east coast problem or what...

I do consider it. I did say I am not sure if it was an east coast problem. But it is clear that I am not the only one affected by the issue. Thus I was hoping that Keiro and Krad may provide some insight if they know anything about it. Or give some advice.

EDIT: I resolved the issue by changing ports. Port +8000 finally worked. Have no idea why others were timed out (unless there was a fantastic coincidence of the whole problem getting resolved right when I changed to +8000).

Standard. Digibase does not allow traceroutes to complete at their network.

As far as ST goes... I've been working on getting it back online. Obviously, this is taking time.

We will have the webchat back online soon, though... but as for the IRC server, that's going to need to wait a little longer.

irc.shatteredtears.com is now fully back online, and has been relinked into the Network.

Webchat will need a little longer time.

Webchat's back.

It's now running in SSL mode from the chat itself to the IRC server... unfortunately, I've yet to figure out how to get it to use SSL via HTTPS.

I'll have it figured out soon, I'm sure.

Whoops. Forgot to link irc.shatteredtears.com back into irc2.shatteredtears.com so it'd remain online in the network. >.> Unfortunately, that didn't happen until after you messaged the forums asking where everyone was. My fault.

It's linked in now, though.

Was I banned, or is the IRC down?

We're in there now...? And it's been pretty active at all hours. Sure it isn't when the maintenance is happening and such?
