Forum:New IRC channel

This is for those that use the #wikia channel on Freenode. The channel hasn't been used or supported by staff for some time now, and there have been a few disagreements about the channel administration. So, as staff aren't around to help with these, we've decided to remove ourselves officially and to redirect the channel to a new unofficial one.

The ops for this new channel need to be decided, and staff won't be part of that decision. This page is for the IRC regulars to decide how to choose ops, and then who to choose. Once that choice is made, I will hand over the new channel and redirect the old. So, over to you.... please let us know when the decision is final.

 * I'm assuming you won't be able to get wikia cloaks anymore? 1358  (Talk)  16:54, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * There won't be new ones, no. It's been pretty hard to get hold of them for a while anyway, I'm only on IRC for a short time in the (SF) evenings. I'll stay as GC to maintain existing cloaks and so on though -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:20, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * I havn't seen many people who voiced a compliant about OPs in #wikia, but I understand the move if staff aren't ever going to be present (which has been the status quo for some time). In terms of ops for the new channel, Charit, Godisme, Vega and Myself are the people who I generally see using op who already have it, and I think can be trusted with it on the new channel, perhaps +o to some other regulars who are trusted as well, or someone I've missed? --  Random Time  17:48, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Tis a shame to see that newer users will be unable to receive IRC cloaks to show their pride in Wikia and to help ensure they are who they say they are onwiki. It would appear the current ops have things under control, but I wouldn't oppose some regulars in the channel to receive +o as well. 19:38, October 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * As Zam said, the current OPs have things running pretty smoothly, and I'm not opposed to some regulars receiving +o, as long as they have a client, since webchat doesn't allow banning. –  Jä zz  i  20:12, October 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I would suggest Jäzzi, Monchoman45 and myself as the three of us are usually on at times that the others above aren't. Rappy 20:35, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
