EFNet introduces Global Glines

Saturday, February 12th, 2005

EFNet is going to implement global glines. Previously, glines were only required on the European section of this network.

The vote, called for by Hardy, calls for glines with duration times from not less then 6 hours, to a maximum of 7 days.

“If the vote is approved, all servers will be required to activate glines within a 14 day period”, the vote explains. “Failure to comply will result in the server(s) being removed from the network.”

The glines were accepted with 10 no, and 18 yes votes.

Cookie.*’s delink draining Sorcery?

Thursday, February 10th, 2005

Word got to IRC-Junkie about the delink one of the last 2 client servers on Sorcery. This leaves the network now with 1 client server, 1 backup server and services, all being run from the same location.

Cookie.*’s admin announced the delink himself: “As of March 1, 2005, cookie.sorcery.net will be delinking. I’ve had a good time the 5 years I’ve been here. I’ve watched the network grow from a small one of about 12 users to a large one (in my estimation) or 5000 users. [...] I know that I am not able to add the value that this network needs, and ‘m finding my attention drifting to other pursuits, so a graceful goodbye is in order, I believe.”
