New Site

I'm in the process of making an integrated website/blog, probably to be hosted at my own domain. When it's up and running I'll be sure to post here!

Music Sharing

I thought it might be a good time to remind people that you should only share music in channel of which you own the copyright/rights of distribution. Illegal sharing of music should not be conducted.

There have been a few high-profile cases recently of a crackdown in this activity and if you are sharing illegally you may well be playing with a ticking time-bomb.

Don't say we didn't warn you!

Channel Mode +R (Reg'd nicknames only)

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great holiday period and I'm sure the whole team at wavplayers wishes everyone a great new year 2008.

You might have noticed the channel is using mode +R at the moment. This is activated on a temporary basis to help combat spammers. There are a couple of spam bots doing the rounds, where they send a user to a website trying to encourage them to download a file, usually an .exe file, to install themselves on the users machine. Infected people probably wont even know it's running there, but it does serve as an annoyance to us regular IRC users.

[edit - mode R is off at the moment but please familiarise yourselves with this for your own benefit]

If you can't get in the channel...

If you have a registered nickname : identify to nickserv using

/ns identify {password}

where {password} is the password you used when registering your nick. If you have forgotten it type

/ns sendpass {yournick}

where {yournick} is the nickname of which you want the password. (I hope you used a real email address when registering!)

If you DO NOT have a registered nickname : type

/ns register {password} {email address}

where {password} is a password of your choosing and {email address} is your real email address.

Following either of those steps you should then be able to join our channel using

/join #ircwavplayers

Hope this helps anyone not in channel.
