  4. Msn Chat Admin Client

    in General Chat Talk

    Posted

    TBH, I can't believe the fascination with the Chat Admin Client.

     

    I am sure you all remember MSN Comic Chat. Well, take out the comic part, and you are left with the CAC. It was one of the worst chat clients ever designed for the people that had to manage the MSN chat service. That is the reason that Admins, Sysops, and Guides (at least in the US market), used their own tools instead. Remember that all comic chat offered you were Rule Sets, one of the worst scripting languages (if you can even call it that) ever designed. Sure, it was fine for Comic Chat users, but no serious chatter would ever use it.

     

    There were some other changes that had to be made to the CAC to make it work properly on MSN chat, but nothing that would be useful today. For example, MSN used a unique server structure. The first thing to remember is that all servers were not linked as they are in the way a normal IRCd is linked. Each room was on one chat server only. So, to join a room, you first had to connect to a Directory Server (DS). Then you'd look up the room name to see which Chat Server (CS) it was on. The DS is what scripters called the FINDS server because that was the command used to look up the room on the DS. Once you had the name/address of the CS, you'd connect to it and join the room.

     

    So, seriously, if you want to see what the CAC was like, find a copy of Comic Chat and use it in Text Mode (no comics) and you will experience EXACTLY what we did when the MSN Web Chat service first opened. After a few months, we all moved away from it.

  12. Koach.com Main Server Down

    in Koach Chat Network

    Posted

    I want to apologize to everyone for allowing Koach.com to be down so long.

     

    We have serious enough problems that we are forced to reinstall centos, along with all programs we used, not only including email, ircds, services, bots, and so on. The good news is that I do have backups of all data files so we won't lose nick and channel registrations, forum posts, etc.

     

    The bad news is that, as some of you know, I had surgery yesterday, to repair a broken clavicle, making it very hard to type.

     

    Anyway, I am working on the issues, and koach.com will be back soon :)

  13. Koach.com Main Server Down

    in Koach Chat Network

    Posted · Edited by Koach

    Unfortunately, our main server appears to need a new hard drive.

    However it is still being tested so maybe we get by with an easier fix.

    For the time being we are limited to using chat1.koach.com, without services :(

     

    In the mean time, please use:

     

    /server chat1.koach.com

     

    If it looks like it will take a few days to get the server running, I'll set up a webchat that connects to chat1.

     

    Sorry for any inconvenience, and thanks TechGear007 for providing a place where I can get the word out :)

    /server irc1.koach.com

     

    Thanks, and Merry Christmas to all (or the way I am feeling at the moment, bah humbug lol).

  25. Koach.com Outage

    in Koach Chat Network

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    If you are trying to connect to koach.com, our main datacenter (Staminus) is down due to a transport fiber being cut in LA.

     

    If you wish, you may use /server irc1.koach.com to connect for now.

     

    I hope you all don't consider this spam :)

     

    Please delete it if you do.
