[X] My Assistant

[Lord Raven]

Hi everyone, I'd like to call attention to the IRC we have which is still up and running. Fun fact, it's older than GPX+ itself!

We've relaxed many of the rules and revamped some others, so have a look here! It seems like a lot, but to summarize - don't be rude, don't do anything illegal, don't click request until you've established yourself as an active member of the IRC, and keep in touch with the moderation team if you have any questions.

I'll leave the floor open for questions and issues. Trust me, it's a great way to get connected to other users, and it's not exclusive in the slightest. If no one's responding, then patience is a virtue and someone will talk eventually! Just hang around and alert me if you come in.

Also, if you were banned previously on the IRC, your ban will be revoked unless you mess up again. Consider it a fresh start on the IRC.

See you around!

We have moved to Discord! https://discord.gg/015WPBK5vUuvtXNnN is the invite link. Click it and go ahead! We're friendly. Connect to your fellow GPX+ members over a variety of topics including but not limited to the site, or start your own discussion!

If you are a Donor, please let staff know so you can be given Donor status. PM or alert one of us and we'll add you.

Bans are to be discussed privately with any member of staff present on Discord. Any discussion of revoking a ban is subject to standard forum rules regarding spam content.

I am double posting but this message is brought to you with the permission of Lord Raven.
We have some new features in the irc, thanks to the efforts of myself and Galaxy!

1. Youtube links
Now, whenever you post a youtube link in chat, Porygon2 (one of our two channel bots) will respond immediately with the title and duration of the video! You can spam the chat with youtube links and we will all know what you're watching.
_{(note: please do not spam the chat with youtube links. or anything else.)}
Notes:
- You can post desktop (http://youtube.com) or mobile (youtu.be) links! Both will work.
- The script is only running if Raven is online on his computer (not his mobile).
- Galaxy wrote this script, so if you like it / something goes wrong, let him know.

2. Tells
This script lets you leave messages for other users in chat! How is that useful, you ask? Because Porygon2 will repeat the message the next time that user speaks - so you can leave messages for people who are away or even not online! They'll get your message the next time they're around. To use this feature, just say '!tell nickname your message here' (no quotes)!
Notes:
- The message is repeated when a user speaks, not when they join / are in chat. That way they're sure to be aware when they get it.
- !tell has to be the first word of your message: you can't misspell it, it can't be in capital letters, and it can't be bold or coloured. There should not be a space before it, either.
- The nickname of the user you want the message to go to must be the second word of your message. If you spell it wrong, they won't get it - for example, 'cycloneblaze' or 'Cyclonblaze' or 'Cyc' will not send a message to me, because my nickname is (usually) 'Cycloneblaze'.
- The message will only be repeated to the exact nickname that you give, so if you leave a message for 'Raven' and he later joins IRC as 'Hank_Scorpio' (or anything else), he won't get it. But when he joins as 'Raven', he will get it then.
- The message can be of any length after that. The !tell, the nickname, and the message should all be separated by spaces from each other.
- Messages aren't private. Everyone can see them when you send them and Raven can read them on his computer (because they're stored there). If you want to send a user a private message then you should use the forums' PM function.
- The script is only running if Raven is online on his computer (not his mobile).
- If there's any problems with this one, contact me (Cycloneblaze). If Porygon2 blows up tell Raven or another op who's in chat. (Don't worry, he won't.)

3. Channel Statistics
This isn't new, but I figured I would remind people. Our second channel bot is ChanStat, a bot that records various interesting statistics about the IRC! You can view them here. If you're in chat, you can ask ChanStat for the link by saying !chanstats or @chanstats, and there's a bunch of other commands listed on the bot's website here.
(As you can guess, we didn't make this one.)

Also, if you feel like annoying Galaxy when he's online, say 'What are you listening to Galaxy?' and he'll tell you what's on his Spotify. Even if he doesn't want to. :^)

I'll take a moment to remind everyone that spam is annoying and these bots / scripts aren't for messing with the chat or other users, but I'm sure you all knew that.
Now go try 'em out!
