In Response To: Re: irc.bungie.org (Forrest of B.org)

: I see this confusion around a lot, between channels, networks, and servers on
: IRC.

: A channel is, of course, basically a "room". Nothing special there.

: A server is a particular computer which hosts such rooms.

: A network is an arrangement of servers which *share rooms*. That is, if
: irc.lightning.net (my old fave) and irc.yourmom.com are both on the EFNet
: network, and I'm connected to one and you're connected to the other, and
: we both join #marathon, we'll be *in the same room*, even though we're on
: different servers. Servers on a network all (theoretically) mirror one
: another, and it doesn't matter which server you're on, just what network
: your server is with. (In practice, netsplits cause problems with this). A
: server, of course, does not *have* to be a part of a network.

: Now I've not been on the new Bungie IRC channels at all, but back in the day
: the popular #marathon and #myth and #bungie channels were all on the EFnet
: network. As I recall freenode.net is an EFnet server, though that may be
: wrong. But either way, you can't tell someone to join the
: "irc.bungie.org" channel, though you could tell them to join a
: channel from a particular server. And likewise, you don't *have* to tell
: them what server to join if it's on a network server - just tell them the
: network. Most IRC clients have big lists of servers built-in with their
: network specified.

: So - what network is irc.bungie.org on, if any? What network is
: irc.freenode.net on? What are the relevant channels available on the B.org
: server (or it's network?) You guys might be talking about the same place.

Freenode is a network, and as far as I understand it irc.bungie.org is also a network, not a server. Which is why I'm telling people that that would be a good place to have a #marathon channel.
