IRPG is NOT dead, long live IRPG!

Idling in channels is one of the fundamental aspects of IRC, and years ago someone thought to make a game of it.

This game is called IdleRPG and you can now play it on NationCHAT IRC Network.

The Idle RPG is a simple IRC-based role playing game where you play by idling in an irc channel. The longer you idle, the higher you progress. Things like talking in the channel, parting the channel, or quitting IRC are called penalties and increase your time to level. Along

Ever thought about joining us?

An IRC network involves one or more servers that are running an IRCd, allowing users with an IRC client to connect to the server and chat with other users on the network. IRC networks are usually free and open to the public, and they all have rules that outline what the network can and can’t be used for. They are maintained by opers, helpers or other staff members who typically volunteer their spare time to help the network and there are many IRC networks

Happy Anniversary NationCHAT!

Who thought we would last this long? Many predicted we wouldnt last a month let alone a year. Just as many, even some of those same people, tried their hardest to end what we had created. Despite all the bullshit, attacks and hacks we managed to survive.

June 30th marks the two year anniversary of the first public release of NationCHAT Network. Since then, many bugs have been fixed and a few new features added.

The most important change to the project is the addition of people to the NationCHAT Staff,

All bot(s) connecting to any NationCHAT server must set user mode +B (Bot) when connecting and must get permission of the channel owner before joining a channel.

This user mode will identify the bot(s) as a BOT to users and Network Staff via the /WHOIS command.

Please mark your bot(s) with user mode +B when connecting NationCHAT Network starting Monday, 30 May, 2016.

Beginning Monday, any bot(s) found to not be using the required +B user mode will be warned (and given 1 day to correct the issue). Failure to comply with the

It seems a couple of people have the wrong impression regarding our AUP where bots or drone connections are concerned. On the contrary, our Network Policy is to make sure you understand that our right to removal is all-encompassing where bots are concerned and that no bot connections are protected under any implied right to use our services.

So, if we (NationCHAT Staff) deem a specific bot to be a negative presence, we can and will remove it from NationCHAT Network without any requirement regarding “legality”.

In order to say that this

There’s been a lot of news lately of ‘Password Failures’ from our users, so we would like to take the opportunity to remind you all to be vigilant with your passwords.

NationCHAT takes our users security very seriously. All passwords relating to access are encrypted for additional security.

But here are some recommendations from our Staff to protect your NationCHAT (and other) passwords:

NEVER share your password with anyone! (NationCHAT Staff will NEVER ask you for your passwords.)
NEVER identify or login to things in any window other than the Status Window. (If you

A lot of us have noticed the one-time-use and registered channels with no users that have been abandoned, excluding X (channel services bot). We’ve recently considered how to also protect the resources of our Services while providing the least disruption or discomfort to our users; resulting in some changes coming very soon.

Channels will now expire after 40 days of no activity or use, as opposed to the 90 days that it takes for usernames to expire. This move will allow us to preserve X’s resources for channels that are actually

We now have our #News channel for you available, to get our News from our Homepage and the others or from both together as an XML Output.

Well it will not be like the old one that only announced News from our Forums, moreover it will be a channel that has RSS Feeds from different providers and categories.

There are as for example included providers like: Slashdot.org, Computerbase, Heise, Heise Security, the Discovery Channel, N24, Bild, 4Players, T-Online Computer, Computerbild and of course our own Feeds from the Homepage, our Services and Forums.

STOP WRITING & TALK
ninja.re’s voice server is infrequently used, but still a useful tool in the world of writing. You won’t find it very useful to lurk here, but you may want to invite someone on to discuss writing, brainstorm, give verbal critique, or just hang out.

CONNECTING TO TEAMSPEAK
TeamSpeak is a free application that can be downloaded and installed from its official website. Once installed, it is recommended to go through the audio setup and configure Push-To-Talk.

Once that’s finished, navigate to Connections < Connect and set ninja.re as the server
