Title: Updates and planned downtime
Post by: Eeems on August 18, 2014, 06:37:44 pm
Omninet has had a large amount of the official channels renamed. Use the IRC page to see what the current standard is for naming channels (ourl.ca/p/irc (http://ourl.ca/p/irc)).

To continue on this, there will be some downtime tonight, possibly up to two hours while Eeems runs some updates to the servers. After the updates are done, there may be some interruption to services as configuration files are updated to work with the new version. Keep an eye on Twitter (http://twitter.com/omnimaga) or IRC to see what the current status on the upgrade is.

Glad to see the main channel was not renamed. The other ones I'm fine with it since it's much shorter, but with #omnimaga renamed to # or #en it would have been a bit weird. :P

Do you or soru plan to add more chans such as #ponies to the list?


Also I noticed there is a topic rating feature now. :P

I thought the rating was there all along, just admin only or something.

Ah ok, I am not sure. But in my case the topic rating at the top of the page only appeared after this downtime.

Also i noticed the staff project section of the forum has been restructured to only include projects that are not officially dead and the rest being in separate completed or discontinued sections.

So now you can rate topics? Interesting.

By the way I integrated #ponies in my instance of OmnomIRC (http://ponyville.qc.to/) as its side English channel, hope you don't mind.
