Just as a matter of interest i thought i would point out that phreik has now made its new flash client the default for new users to get more feedback on bugs in it.
It's "MSN Like" in style to make the transition more acceptable for those stuck in their ways, wanting to hang onto the ocx. Hopefully a more unique version to come! Bit this is a big step ... a positive one, one of the longest running clones, finaly "de-cloning".
-
It's been offline for days now .. whats up with that? Vsixc too. They are dropping like flies!!
-
Well thats my point cheif ..Running a server isnt easy and the bills add up.
Good news for phreik then as they have recently massivley reduced their running costs (without being home ran lol.)
-
Looks great.
-
I wish phreik did run a home server, then we wouldnt have to see all the recent worries about paying the bills! lol.
-
Yeah, im not a big fan of it myself. I was just glad they moved away from phpBB2 finaly!
-
Thats misleading phrasing your using! Connection to the website trouble due to the ocx? ... Dont see how thats even possible, connection trouble with chat, possibly as the ocx only comes into play when someone goes to a chatroom. (wish they'd get that sorted .. with a new webchat!)
What are your suggestions for improving the phpfox system?
I doubt any of the clones or non clones that are in the same era as phreik, buzzen, speakpea etc would be able to develop a custom sns without using 3rd party software, buzzen for example who is widley credited as the most advanced chat of this era, uses the script called SocialEngine for their beta website.
-
They looking to build up the activeness of the script help room, so anyone thats interested please feel free to drop by
Nb: Pleasent, open minded, non-haters need only apply (or Reply, for that matter)

I don't know if it's only me or what. But through the google search for phreik.com, I see "This site may harm your computer" link.
Maybe it was done by mistake, i heard about some innocent people being called harmfull by google in recent weeks due to panic about some malware or other. Or maybe someone set them up i duno, either way it seems to be resolved, all clean and clear now.
-
Geez sense of humor bypass much.
I set the topic, im not staff .. please dont judge this book by its cover or the new site by one insignificant little topic.
-
My main "must have" is cPanel alot of the bargin ones dont support it.
-
Which ones have you tried that have been a disapointment? Im in the market for a decent webhost myself!
Ones i've been looking into is hostmonster, bluehost, dreamhost, fatcow and a few others i cant remember right now.

I use Firefox and Maxthon, because ... FF has all the usefull tools and extentions i like, and maxthon is kinda like a IE engine driven version of FF which is pretty cool.
-
Why isn't Phreik listed? Currently, When I attempt to log onto Phriek, it tells me I am banned, this also happens from their website, Not sure why though.

Probably because your emulating the webchat method of connection thru mirc, i think phreik will ban mirc's that try to emulate webchat as some form of protection/restriction. And the resulting ban from using webchat would be due to your ip ban placed when attempting to mimic webchat via mirc..
-
You seem to make very well thought out sentences and examples there "phreikischit", based on this, i would say your view is very well informed and we should take it very seriously ... Honest.
Ok, next crackpot!
-
They restrict that to oper only. Probably because you can set hostname +b bans, and hostname bans and range ban information is more likely to be usefull to staff not reagular users, on a gatekeeper passport based chat system.
-
They would have to release a new chat control if it happened (which it wont) With all these clones, i'm sick of looking at it!
-
from what i'm aware, maxthon is IE.
Yeah, the render engine is the same i actually prefer IE's render engine to FF's (gekko or something isnt it?) But a good browser is more than just the render engine, its the total package - programs should be designed to cater for the lowest spec computers to perform a resonable standard and then exccel on high-spec comps.
This is where i think IE lets itself down, having compared them on different pc's and laptops i've come to the conclusion that new products from MS demand you get upto-date with them! ... rather than they must stay in touch with you! (in touch with what a user wants from their products) Look at silverlight and Vista for examples, these are things that demand you have high-spec kit really, if you want to use them smoothly and to the capacity intended
-
All new IE updates seem to be focused on copying some of the alternative browsers tools and tricks - and while other browsers are focusing on performance and speed, IE seems to be getting worse ... more sluggish and bogged down than ever. IE is my last resort now ... i use Maxthon, firefox and even Slim Browser before i use IE7 ( off-topic: btw IE8 = utter waste of time)
-
Yeah, doesnt look all that authentic really.
-
I chat on an msn clone thats more ircd protocol than ircx, that aside ... id make a wild asumption that perhaps some ppl like msn clones that imitate msn in protocol aswell as chat interface because familiar is comforting, or they just miss it. Maybe even, they are limited in knowledge so dont stray to far from what there was the most support for. At the end of the day ppl are just looking for somewhere to chat.
So yeh .. i do think some "scripters" use some clones because they dont have to learn new stuff or challenge themselves.
-
Chatcore is quite good, still buggy as hell ... but as a new type of "msn like" webchat its quite nice, it uses a similar sorta ajax setup as buzzenv2, tho i dont fully trust the setup ... all ppl that connect, do so via a chatcore ip (because you configure the client in a webpage that they control, they host the software not you) .. thus all having the same ipmask in and unreal IRCD for example, aswell as the fact that it says it supports ircx and ircd, yet doesnt support +b (which is the way to set bans in ircd) Would be really good if there was a source code of the chatcore client, which you could run yourself from your website!
If there is .. hit me up?!
-
Gag means tha no-one in the chatroom can see msgs from the gagged person untill the usermode is removed again - or till they d/c and reconnect, its not an individual ignore. I guess its more like being spec'd but not knowing it!
Tcl Scripter Wanted !
in Phreik Chat

In the end Stealth learned tcl and did it himself lol! It's up and running really well, as far as i can tell! Good job.
