Wait, that means it wasn't an IRC bot back then? Because running an IRC bot on the server is still possible :) But i heard that that checking server-side somehow nommed tons of CPU ???
It was an IRC bot, but it was hosted on the same server as Omni. The problem is that the SMF mod that sent the new post notification to the IRC bot required that both the bot and OmnomIRC are hosted with the forums.

I wonder if it would be possible to send such data over two servers?

Oh and IIRC, another issue with such DB access is that if IRC was down or something else prevented the notification from being sent, it didn't let you post, so if that was revived, it would need a timeout feature implemented (so if after 10 seconds, it didn't respond, then it posts anyway without the New post warning.

It would be so much easier if you just had a node bot acting like a server that sent the post notifications to IRC whenever a call was made by Omnimaga to it. The posting function that stores the data to the database would also make a quick call to the post bot, thus causing push notifications :)

Just one thing, though: If the direct DB access bot is ever revived, make sure to not forget to disable notifications for the staff and private boards (except game walkthroughs), because I remember at first when some private thread appeared in OmnomIRC. It was a little akward >.<. Imagine, for example, if the entire Omni admin team got under NDA with a company or had to keep something secret there, then accidentally leaked the name of a top secret project that way O.O . Plus, I would find it kinda akward as well to see an unreachable topic notification saying "New post by Netham45 in Here's what DJ told juju IRL http://ourl.ca/33934" while chatting O.O

why won't we actually somehow embed the new post notification in OIRC?

I wouldn't mind, as long as they also appears on EFnet and Omninet too.

Btw it would kinda make sense to make French and German posts show up in their respective channels, like they used to do. They could still appear in the main channel  as well, though, in case an English person can help on programming help.

JK, lol, well, but with a real push system, wouldn't that also require adding some extra stuff to the posting.php (or however it is called)

Yes, just do the initial coding on your machine first (so install smf locally and then test it out) before you muck around on Omni itself.

Ok. So just that i get it right......when i post on the serverside i do an internal call to the post bot which listens to an internal port on localhost....right?
