The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar: State of the union

Ok, so not really, but I've put up a #monkey-island move FAQ, answering some of the questions regarding the move to Gamesnet. Yes, it's final and decided, the move is done, and we're all happy about it! No, really! DALNet was a good place, but things haven't been going well there recently, and so the move made sense. We hope you'll join us at #monkey-island on Gamesnet!

IMHO, the ! commands have only incresed the lameness the channel was starting to develop. Another reason I dislike it is the fact that I keep having to be re-added to the op list every time I join. Gamesnet is popular like windows is popular. Yes, it is "secure" and "easy", but both are still buggy as bait shops and tend to make people act stupid.

Well... Ben, I have got to agree to some extent, I mean, so 3/4ths of the chans aren't Warez/Pr0n/Whatev0rz no, instead they are Counter-Strike chans! Excuse me if I don't make much of a distinction between them. I haven't met many really hardcore fans that have stuck with Counter-Strike through all the lameness, and I think something has to be said for that. And it isn't good. On the other hand, we will always have a little bootleg thanks to Court.

If you're unhappy with the Gamesnet service you can always connect to irc.axnetnet.org and join #monkey-island there! Or Dalnet on jade.dal.net where anarchy reigns.
But Gamesnet really isn't that bad when you get used to it. The inability to protect your nick is a bit of a bummer, though

I just have a question about emi that I can't seem to find the answer too. I can't get the termites on ozzie's cane. I tried doing it the first time I go in there before he comes and gets it but it doesn't let me. Then after that I can't find his cane in the shop to put them on. PLEASE HELP!

Ben_Whatsisname:
a) If the channel owner (RemiO) decides, he can disable the ! commands. It's in his court.

b) That must be because people are using /msg chanserv #monkey-island op (!op) instead of /msg chanserv #monkey-island addop (!addop).

Do you have any other problems? :)
