MFGG IRC
The MFGG IRC is the unofficial IRC chatroom of MFGG. It has moved back and forth between the servers of OFTC and BadnikNET, currently settling in OFTC once again.
Differences from the old chat
Black Squirrel, an ex-admin of MFGG, took a great interest in the chatroom after the move to BadnikNET, and in November/December 2008 put together a timetable for IRC events in an attempt to make the chatroom more active. It has so far worked reasonably well.
The channel was once "protected" by a retired Goonbot, who acts as a ChanServ bot and automatically kicks people for excess flooding. Goonbot itself has been met with mixed reviews, though it has received various tweaks since to be a bit fairer. Like all chatrooms on BadnikNET, it was also home to Motobug, a bot that simply records posting data. Motobug doesn't actually do anything inside of the chatroom however - it just logs things.
This is the current set of IRC operators:
- @Quicky
- @lifning
- @OrangeNova
- @Raie
- @Ylle
On top of this, all admins and global moderators of the forums qualify for op status, and all moderators of both the main site and forums qualify for half-op status.
Access
hostname: irc.oftc.net join command: /join #mfggirc
Alternatively, you could also use the java client.
This is currently the 4th iteration of the channel, which used to be on Mysteria (currently a defunct IRC server). The channel's population is usually high or very high depending on the time of day.
