| Hi All! Those of you who frequent #[[:channels:afternet|AfterNET]] or #[[:channels:geektown|GeekTown]] know me, but as I have been around a long time, maybe you don't know everything :) | Hi All!

| ==== History ==== | ==== History ==== |
| I joined AfterNET at the beginning, when it was created from the remains of an IRC network called TheNET, back in 1996. TheNet had been run by some folks who were neglecting the network, and refused to allow the rest of us who wanted to build it better, the tools to do so. So most of the servers split to form AfterNET. There were 4 or 5 of us back then (I used to run the IRC server named Agora), but I am the only one still involved. | I joined AfterNET at the beginning, when it was created from the remains of an IRC network called TheNET, back in 1996.

| Today I run a lot of AfterNET's services including X3, and have done quite a bit of work on the server software. I also have a hand in many of the bots that use the network. | Today I run a lot of AfterNET's services including X3, and have done quite a bit of work on the server software.

| I have always tried to be a good steward of the network, from managing donations, to handling complaints. I act as owner two the channels #help, #afternet, and #geektown. Most email ([[:contact]]) is read directly by me, and I make an effort to try and solve conflicts whenever possible. If you have a problem, please feel free to drop me a line -- I can't guarantee I can do anything about it officially (like gline someone for you), but I am a good listener, and I have been on IRC for over 10 years -- I may have some insight. | I have always tried to be a good steward of the network, from managing donations, to handling complaints.

| Due to AfterNET's history, I have made it one of my main goals to give anyone who is interested in building the network the access to be able to do so. From contributing to this website, coding, making policies.. If you would like to help out, let me know and I'll do what I can to get you what you need to do so. | Due to AfterNET's history, I have made it one of my main goals to give anyone who is interested in building the network the access to be able to do so.

| The basic problem is that with 80+ people there will always be conflicts. If i were to ban everyone who a few people don't like, it would result in a ban on almost every single person, because for almost everyone, there is someone who doesn't get along with them. This is incompatable with #afternet's mission as a common area for everyone. So, feel free to ban people you don't like in other channels, but in #afternet we try (to a point) to be inclusive and not ban people unless its required. Use your ignore function.. its built into authserv now so its way easy, /msg authserv help addignore | The basic problem is that with 80+ people there will always be conflicts.
