egghelp/eggheads community

Re a couple of the other points raised: - There were only one or two spammer signups with one or two associated spam posts in the past month or so, thanks to an improved anti-spam question. - Apart from maintenance visits (keeping an eye on the junk yard and deleting spambot accounts), I don't often...

Have moved this thread into the announcements & other section since the discussion has gotten a bit more generalised. From my perspective, egghelp.org basically has legacy status nowadays, much like IRC and eggdrop itself. If there's enough interest in dragging these things into 2013 and beyond,...

I left on a trip a couple of days before your post and hadn't checked the site until today, so didn't notice it was down. Seems to be working fine now.

I have set it with set sl_masktype 2 in order to get this ban mask: *!*ident@*.domain.com, but instead get the: *!**ident@*.domain.com. Am I doing something wrong and the most important what can I do to fix it? Looks as though an argument was added to the masktype command in eggdrop 1.6.20 allowing...

The forum is indeed way overdue for a phpBB3 upgrade. It's something I haven't got around to because of the required time commitment - the stock upgrade process isn't a problem, but the many little addons and customisations that follow to make the forum just right can be real time-suckers (e.g. duri...

It's been brought to my attention the forum is displaying errors when posting, searching, etc. Just letting you guys know this is being looked into. The errors are just warning messages and the forum still seems to be working fine, so do your best to ignore them for now

Was offline for most of yesterday due to issues with the server. egghelp.org and forum.egghelp.org are on different web hosts, so that if one goes down the other will continue to be available in most circumstances.

It's a time worn argument whether to release something that's been hacked together in a far from ideal way, or better to have nothing until someone who really knows what they're doing creates something that more people would consider up-to-standard. Users tend to favour the former and developers the...

Rootie sent me this a couple of weeks ago and asked me to post it. Sorry about the delay, have fallen a bit behind with e-mails. finally that autoconf issue hits me ... :) I've been aware of that issue before. The main problem is that autoconf - when applied on a clean eggdrop source - already creat...

Rootie has updated his patch for 1.6.20:

I'll boldly advertise it on the home page if no one reports any issues in the next day or two

Oldest copy of BlackTools I have is 1.8, and the "edu" array is pervasive in that. If it's not simply coincidence, it looks like BLaCkShaDoW may have started off one day copying a few snippets that used "edu" as the array name, and just stuck everything in that array as the scrip...

Just to keep you guys informed about the downtime of the past 24 hours: apparently the server hosting egghelp.org experienced a meltdown and DNS to the forum (which is hosted separately) disappeared along with it. The forum is obviously now accessible again, but as of this post the main site is disp...

Done. You'd better be right

Not yet. Depends when I can set a full day aside. Stock upgrades aren't too painful but the process gets pretty involved when it requires finding equivalent mods and styles, applying them and testing everything.

An evil spammer sent lots of PMs to random members, which unfortunately resulted in e-mail alerts being sent to people who haven't used the forum for a long time. But seeing some old faces like ^DooM^ appear makes up for the annoyance, I would say :D Been a while since I did an account prune so that...
