I am posting this to state I know the Quotes and Downloads page are not working currently. This is due to an issue with the Django Vote app that I am currently working with the app developer on with.

I pushed a major update to the website.

Can you see if this still happens?

I have pushed a lot of changes to the website, but the most notable change is the Channel Logging Bot is now a more featureful bot.

You can also (as network admins) name the bot a custom name and identify it to NickServ. You must do this before co…

I will check what I can about the bot, but I am limited to what the IRC servers are willing to give me.

EDIT:
Also to state, the bot looks for IRC RFC codes. So it doesn't matter how it displays the information, as long as the IRCd follows RFC it …

That's really strange. I did switch to a new Markdown editor, I've been making a lot of design changes so I'll investigate this as well.

Awesome find, looks like I need more sanitation checks. I'll get that fixed ASAP.

So I wanted to bring a few features we have that are not used a lot you may like for your network.

Remote Server Indexing

If your network supports remote commands, such as /lusers server.network.tld, /motd server.network.tld, etc then you can enab…

So my bots use simple DNS to connect.

There is another option though. If your network supports remote commands to servers, you can enable that in your network settings and then on the server page manually add servers.

This will cause the indexer …

So after fully investigating and updating the logic for the logbot, I have resolved this. The bots will ALWAYS reconnect while logging is enabled. Had to basically modify the connection endpoint to be a Service instead of just a basic endpoint. (…

These issues have been resolved.

Thanks for bringing this up, I'll look into it as I recently changed some Markdown stuff.

Are you using any kind of geographical DNS settings?

I updated the channel bot to hopefully fix the reconnect issues. /kill and Lines (G, K, Z) won't reconnect as its a clean /quit according to the bot. Ping timeouts and disconnects should reconnect.

The bots are currently not open source.

I had an idea of making the entire site/bots open source, but ended up having my design ripped off by another (now defunct) IRC indexing site, before doing so, and decided against it for now.

So I honestly have not programmed the ability to reconnect on disconnect. The bots using a twisted reconnect factory should reconnect but they don't. I am going to be adding that soon. A fix right now is to disable logging for all channels and re…
