What's happened to #hexus.net on IRC?

[kasavien]

Everyone's been booted and banned from #hexus.net does anyone know why?

#hexus.cs is still up

[MadduckUK]

the mod bot thing gained sentience and like HAL, killed us off

[kasavien]

just messaged on IRC

* (Broadcast) Hi everyone! We're sorry we just banned lots of you - this was our mistake by having a little bug in Q. Q has been told off and is behaving now. We're working on a way to remove the bans Q just set automatically and we'll get back to you in a bit. In the mean time please use /msg Q banclear #yourchannel to remove bans! Sorry!

Also, what happened to #hexus.net on IRC...

















... with regards to the activity spurt a few weeks ago?

[Funkstar]

People got bored with it perhaps?

[kasavien]

people do still talk there, just needs one person to encourage the rest

I have to admit i've been a bit quiet because i'm busy with work, although i do still enjoy ronking which no-one understands apart from the scrubs initiated.

[SiM]

busy with exam revision, so I haven't been on for a while...

[sammyc]

there was an activity spurt...?

[TheAnimus]

IRC is a protocol that needs to be forgotton about, and moved on. Plus someone who works on their bot developement clearly hasn't heard of TDD!

[G4Z]

Don't be crazy man, IRC is still by far the best way for a load of people to chat in one channel.

Paltalk is quite a good alternative, very easy to set up group chat on that which like IRC is always on.
