 Posted: Sep 18, 2003 2:10pm Post subject: Unlisted servers |
 |
|
I got a question: Where can i locate servers which are not listed with search engines? I would like access to fast and complete servers but don't want to wait in long queues. Also, this makes it more fun as noobs are unlikely to find it unless they search real hard...which would take them to this site.
Anyhow, I'm looking for servers containing the latest release according to nforce. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Rock on Rocco! |

do you think that they would be easy for you to find?
Wouldnt you have to not be a noobie yourself and have contacts to find them?
And if they posted here, wouldnt they then not be considered "hidden" anymore?
All really good questions

"Servers" on IRC refer to computers that run IRC software and are usually linked to other computers running IRC software to form an IRC "Network". Servers have an IP, a domain name, and a network domain name - and any of those "names" can be changed, and often are, as servers are relocated to better providers and/or change networks. SearchIRC lists 6,324 IRC servers. Servers are listed in each network's section: http://searchirc.com/servers/nameofnetwork We do not provide a master list because that would expose the networks to abuse.
However, it has not escaped my attention that file serving bots are also called "servers". Asking for a list of pirated file servers is somewhat like going to your local library and asking for a list of drug dealers. I suspect anyone who would allow themselves on such a list, and anyone who creates and publishes such a list, would become candidates for the Darwin Awards. |

| Even though you're talking about file servers. Some if not hundreds of thousands of IRC servers and/or networks don't even have a domain name, and don't even want to be listed in search engines and will probably be very hard to find. |

| We've received hundreds of "network" submissions for ircds installed on home computers. Usually its the admin, maybe a friend or two, and some file serving bots - but occasionally we'll see hundreds of users. Typically its an experiment... some young person who has very little IRC experience but enough knowledge to set up a linux system, no money for a domain name or shell to insure stability, and parents who are liable to walk into the room and pull the plug at any moment. We reject these "networks" because in our experience they disappear very quickly, often in a day or so. But I'm quite sure we're going to see more home based IRC networks, websites, ftp servers, p2p networks and the like in the future, and the quality will go up and demand our attention. |

What about an IRCd on a windows server with 12CPUs and 6GB ram.. lol
I think some windows servers can have really good uptimes, as long as you treat administrator accounts like a root account and never install untrusted programs nor pirated software |

Well reguardless of the hardware, there is still one simple fact, Microsoft OS's have so many security patches and OS Updates issued reguarly, that the concept of a really good uptime would be in the eye of the beholder. |

I dunno... I have seen some windows 2000 server machines run for pretty good uptimes..
besides... uptime these days doesnt mean anything.. regardless of what operating system you have, people can attack it and shut it down forcefully... |
