now guys guys dun flame me for this or shower me with neg antipoints.. im just askin a simple question that probably requires a yes or no answer...
Im wondering if we should bring Antibot back in IRC.. i know some of u are annoyed with that /msg identify thing but yeah.. never the less.. its still security.. :)
I didn't mind it. If you are a member, why not identify yourself, it's just like logging in - I say bring it back.

I'd like to see the newbies as Guest**** again...
Yesterday there were people herassing me that I had never even heard of (read about) b4..
So I say
Bring on the Bot Just let me /msg AntiBot identify myself...
I think Antibot is indeed needed in the channel.
Antibot should come back, would rather log in everytime for security reasons.
I agree...I'd rather have some form of 'authentication' where people know it's really me. Impersonation is definitely not something new to the internet and I like knowing that the people on the CR are definitely who they "say" they are.
::pickets::
Antibot! Antibot! We want Antibot!
I too am one of the believers that Antibot should come back...
Identifying to the bot was not that difficult... I posted once before on how to automate it when logging into AO via mIRC...
Since then, I have broaden'd my client experience, and under XChat, was able to identify with two clicks... not that difficult...
There probably was on Connect Perform under IRC, but I was drunk when I did it, so I wasn't paying too much attention....
I actually miss Antibot... not only for the identify feature which stopped certain unscrooooopulus *yes, I know I spelt it wrong* characters from playing nick games .... but the other features such as !profile <username> which don't work with AntiChat...
Come Back to us Antibot... We didn't mean it that way when we said you sucked..... we meant it in the good way.....
lmao@Matty...
btw.. for those who wants to be automatically identified by Antibot and are using mIRC.. there is a section in the options called "Perform" under "IRC"
in that box just type /msg antibot identify PASSWORD
and yeah also enable perform.. lolz
so next time when u connect to the server the mIRC script will do the identification for you and you dont have to type it anymore..
JP i hope you are reading this.. hehe we want antibot back!! lolz
Well, since s0nic stole my mIRC automation, I'll just have to give people my semi-automation of identifying on XChat for when JP brings back Antibot... *Please bring back Antibot JP*....
Okay, we open up our XChat client, and connect to irc.antionline.com
When Antibot is there, it would normally ask you to Identify... but as you know, this gets annoying, especially when you are on dial-up and get disconnected a lot...
So what do we do about it??
Right Click in the middle of your XChat Window... Up pops a nice little context menu with sub-menu's such like this...
XChat
Windows
User Modes
Settings
Scripts & Plugins
User Menu...
The last entry, User Menu, is the one we are interested in...
Under this menu, you see lots of options, such as disconnect, reconnect, and part channel...
At the top of this submenu, we see one called Edit User Menu...
This is the option we want to select....
This pops up a small window, with allows us to add a new shortcut...
Click Add New, and then the Name column, we choose something simple, such as Ident..
Then we have the command column, in which we put in the /msg Antibot identify <yourAOpassword>
Move that command up to the top of the list, for easy access.. *you could leave it down the bottom, but I'm really lazy so I put it up the top*...
Viola... when you connect to irc.antionline.com, you can now simply go.. right click -> User Menu -> Ident to Identify to the lovely Antibot...
-=-=-=-=-
On the full automation which is usable via mIRC, there is a draw back... the On connect Perform option excutes every time you connect to an irc channel... so if you connect to another irc channel, and there is a user named AntiBot, you will /msg them your password to Antionline...
If you frequent other irc channels, this may be a concern to you.. if so, you can simple alias /msg Antibot Identify <yourAOpassword> to something such as /i...
To do this, simply click on T ools -> Aliases (shortcut key is Alt A)...
then type in something like this...
/i /msg antibot identify <yourAOpassword>
Save this, and then upon connection, you can do a simple /i to identify to the bot...
Nice No?
ANTIBOT where are you ???
We NEED u....
Come back soon ! !
Blah.
Guests.
I agree with you.. I think the bot should come back.
I'd also like to see the !Commands back too. ;)

This was a great idea everyone, but you should have posted this in the site suggestions area so that we know JP is more likely to read it, but at the same time if anyone sees JP on the irc, beg him for the bot back. I feel it is necessary to have the bot to prevent someone from pretending to be who they are not.
mIRC/Xchat auto-identification...
Remember to add in some scripting to make sure Antibot is the REAL antibot! Otherwise you're pretty much giving your account away! Good checks would be to make sure Antibot is a server-operator, or whatever kind of status it gets that lets it change your name.
AntiBot rules...
please bring it back.
Hello Terr, when I tried to change my nick to antibot, this happened.

I think he should come back to. Anti-bot is a good form of room security for identifiying people for authenticity and no one can impersonate you.
Bring the Bot back!!!!
ANTI-HACKERS :)
All I'm saying is, just-in-case... Be safe. I mean, you never know, it might accidentally trigger when the system is newly upgraded and glitched, or your client might do it in the wrong IRC network, etc.Quote:

Yes! Please bring back AntiBot if the only reason it was removed was that some slackards couldnt take the time to Ident themselves.
I had thought it was off just for programmatic reasons - code tweaks???
I miss knowing who ppl really are and not being suspicious that everyone is pretending to be someone they're not.
I miss the commands too. :hiphop:

well my guess would be is that you have an o-line or atleast that nickname as an o-line or a role in the network and for some reason JP hasnt set that settings properly yet... Coz that msg was meant for ppl who are trying to use your nick just for the o-line.. but thats just all a guess...
Yes I have to admit that I have bitched about identify myself in the past but you know we need the damn thing so that no one tries to use your login or someone else's plus I want the !commands
I dont talk on irc so do what you want... :thumbsup:
Keepen it real
