"It might be of your interest to know that I'm reopening the old XGoogle", webmaster dalok0kat wrote in an reaction to IRCJunkie. "The new domain is Gogloom.com."
XGoogle had to close doors because Google was going to take legal advice if the site kept using that domain name. We asked dalok0kat where the current domain name comes from. "XGoogle was closed by google claiming for bad faith and loads of weird arguments (it's my point of view)."
"Then gogloom could reflect in 2 words the effect of that action: Go gloom, which could have a variety of interpretations. Anyway, its meanings: ambiance, ambience, apprehension, apprehensiveness, atmosphere, blackness, bleakness, breakdown, cloud, collapse, crackup, dark, darkness, dejection, depression, desolation, despair, despondency, dimness, dolefulness, dread, dreariness, dusk, gloom, gloominess, glumness, melancholy, misery, murk, obscurity, pessimism, sadness, semidarkness, shade, shadow, somberness, sombreness = XGoogle.org Closed by Google.com = Gogloom.com"
With the reintroduction of the IRC search engine dalok0kat introduced RankTard. We asked dalok0kat if this is a feature similar as SearchIRC.com's 'Freshness factor'. "I think that content is not more relevant because it's more "fresh", it's an important factor but it's not the most important. Let me avoid to explain the details of the RankTard iterated function, but let me show you some results: http://gogloom.com/search?q=help, http://searchirc.com/irc-help-1 and http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?num=0&query=help."
Another new feature is the warez filter. "I try avoid those warez channels that could give wrong results in channel searches", dalok0kat explains.

Didn't he claim he wouldn't (or couldn't?) just change his domain? It makes all the fuss he made before seem rather silly.
The warez filter needs some improving, as even the example link he gives shows a warez channel on the first page.
I get a lovely message at the bottom of the page too:

Which (unless everyone else is receiving it) might be triggered by my missing user-agent. So anyway, I left.

Heh, you can 100% ignore that. Why you ask? NO SUCH LAW EXISTS! That law is called a "scam."
You can find dozens of sites all proving it is a scam. And if you don't believe me, go email your Congressman. Additionally, if you search "Thomas," the US Congress legislation catalog, you will find only one reference to "Internet Privacy Act." H.R. 5059, which was proposed in 2004 (not 1995) and is currently in the House Judiciary Committee, i.e., it hasn't even been passed (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d108:h.r.05059:)
Personally, I wouldn't visit a site that is written by a guy who cites ficticious legislation as a justification for his illegal acts. (If he isn't doing anything illegal, there is no reason to have that message. The only sites I've ever seen with that message are warez sites). This message provides NO legal protection, it is a SCAM, and really. It's something that some little 12 year old kid probably made up, and now ever "l33t" warez guy seems to think makes it legal for him to break the law --- IT DOESN'T!

Thanks for the info. I've seen it before on a few sites, and while I wasn't sure whether it's correct or not it always manages to raise a few bars on the bullshit meter.

reading, I see that gogloom.com is nothing but the fictitious law, at times the trees do not leave you to see the forest
if this is criterion, I shit in your formality
I will not enter the fund of your opinion, is too simple, but with a lot of crap. sincerely, i would like to know that is what I bother you so much beyond the simple phrase of small print of the foot of page
At most I have been able to read:

I agree, but without the filter, there would be 200 + channels of warez more in the results of the example cited, unfortunately never I will be able to clean all the channels.

If you aren't trying to hide behind it, why have it there in the first place?

I got the impression you'd rather make a martyr of your site. Martyrs usually have to die - why didn't you just ask google to pay for your new domain?

Maybe if you gave more precedence over 'help' (from the example) in the channel name itself than in the topic (or maybe if 'help' has remained in the topic(s) for a long time).

to skip:
for sure i give precedence to channel name, more precedence give strange results with a "nobody cares" channel but stability anb precedence
quick though bout tracking words:
440k channel * 180 words per channel data = 72million relations
then reply a user search generating the relevance for that word in every channel returned by search and then mix it with other factors... with less than 3 secs
to tehie:
1st bot format is for network data collector, is an active bot
2nd format is passive bot, not collecting network data
1st bot, which is the network data collector has only ONE format, anyway i see that i forgot to change the name of xgoogle,thnx

dalok0kat,
It appears to me that there seems to be a flaw in your idea. Since alot of trojan/spam bots use the mirc.ini file as a source for networks to infect, there are several nets such as mine that refuse to be listed in the mIRC server list regardless of the size of net. Therefore your "relevance" is barely half accurate. Sort of like the majority of the money in the US is held by an elite few, piss on everyone else.
Please correct me if I'm wrong in thinking that I need to be listed in the mirc.ini file to be indexed by your bot.
