Updates
- 2018-05-25: We've outlined what data we collect and how we use it.
- 2018-02-23: IP cloaking (umode +x) has been disabled for non webchat users. Unfortunately there's a bug/design feature in Atheme that allows for these cloaks to be easily negated. Vhosts are still available with HostServ (after identifying/registering to NickServ). To see which vhosts are available to you use
/msg hostserv offerlist
. To start using a vhost enter/msg hostserv take copypaste.pirate
. In addition we recommend configuring SASL or certificate authentication for your client. - 2018-02-19: Please welcome AriMartti, our third Roubaix-FR operator. Ari-Martti is also from PPFI and will be joining Mikaela and Scoffa.
