 Posted: Jul 18, 2007 4:04pm Post subject: Free shell accounts and other free services offered |
 |
|
The Internet has always been a place for corroboration and communication, but most Internet communities have degraded substantially. There are large numbers of communities devoted exclusively to sexual talk, and others that focus on illegal activities such as attacking servers or piracy. Here and there, good communities spring up and foster information exchange as well as general chatting. However, in many cases, these are few, far between, and small.
A new community has emerged from the merging of several existing communities that is focused on computer learning and development. The community is largely based in IRC, but many community members have contributed their resources to the good of everyone to provide free services to the Internet. This new community is called Cluenet.
Cluenet was initially formed by the merging of two UNIX shell account providers: Chules.Net and C&HServices. Both providers maintained online communities of their own and provided only free services to people. The respective administrators of these two providers, going by the nicknames Crispy and Cobi, decided to join together, connect the servers together both socially and technologically, and try to foster a large Internet community of intelligent students, users, and administrators. Since its creation, many more people have offered to donate their resources to the network, and their servers have been integrated into the Cluenet infrastructure.
A single account on Cluenet gains access to (currently) half a dozen shell account servers (with IRC access and web hosting capabilities), extensive and very customizable email services, IPv6 over TCP tunnels, a compile cluster, and more. An experimental service will even allow users to have their own, free virtual private server. All of these services are focused around preserving and growing a great community.
The Cluenet web site can be accessed at www.cluenet.org and the main IRC channel is #clueirc on irc.cluenet.org. From experienced UNIX server administrators to people that are completely new to computers but eager to learn, we'd love to have you join us. |

Was hoping nobody would ask that question  ... I've had nasty encounters with the guy, and wouldn't touch his "free shell services" with a 10ft barge-pole. |

I.M.O there is nothing professional about what they are doing here. All their website is, is just an advertising scheme to draw users to their irc network and force them to idle on there.
If by then you idle on there and you meet their requirements, do they decided if you are "worthy" of getting free shell accounts.
I.M.O a pretty pathetic way of doing business.
| Quote: | Rule: No Leetspeak
Details: "Leetspeek" on ClueNet is defined as words containing numbers or symbols substituted for letters (such as substituting '3' for 'e'), certain words (such as '1337'), and unnecessary abbreviations (primarily 'u' for 'you', 'ur' for 'your', etc.). You will usually get off with a warning the first time, but if it continues, it will lead to a kick and a ban.
Rationale: The correlation between discussion substance and style is surprisingly high. Leetspeak hurts the channel environment. Because ClueNet strives to be an overall intelligent network, this is a network-wide rule.
Rule: No Colors in Channel Topics
Details: Any mIRC color codes or other strange ASCII characters in channel topics may cause the topic to be changed by a network operator or, on repeated offenses, a closure of the channel.
Rationale: Colors in a channel topic represent the lamer faction and serve to draw undue attention to a channel. ClueNet does not wish to appear vulgar or lame, so it does not allow colors in channel topics.

This is stated in their rules section. I think this place is more of a communist community. |

without lowering myself to flames and childish bickering, I'll say this: They have a tendancy to "show off"...
and hopefully I can leave it at that |
