Abusing connections....

[Illusion]

I'm aware that EWC allows only 3 connections per IP to the server. However, some people are abusing this. Tango, in The Tavern is constantly using the mibbit connections as well just to up his room count with clones. That gives him 5-6 connections to the server. Some of us need to use that connection to gain access to the server that we can't otherwise. I feel that is abusing the connection policy of 3 per IP. If you're going to allow this, then you should also allow proxies to connect because there are times when direct access to EWC cant be done. For one person to abuse this connection policy is not fair to the rest of us.
Thanks for you time.

I know what Illusion is talking about. I don't think they need more than 3 connections. Then They can flood your room with nicks

ok iam going to reply to this cuz i dont want ppl thinking iam some selfish guy yes i do use the mibbit connections and i admite that but everytime u have come to me illusion and asked me to remove a nick from the mibbit i have done always iam not doing it to be unfair nath lives with me at times and likes to come in for a chat ya he keeps hes nick in sometimes but thats down to him i dont go playing with hes laptop also yes i use the nick DjAuto For When I do my joint online radio shows iam sorry if u feel like iam trying to stop u getting in from work or any other place i have asked nath not to keep hes nick in when not here as the mibbit connects to the server i will use it when i need to use it freely thanks iam not here to flood spam or anything i respect the server users and the staff here iam here to have alaff and make new friends thats all iam sorry if u feel that iam trying to block u from accessin the server

well , i can honestly say that i dont see tango doin anything wrong as when asked he does drop a connection and even when nath is chatting he has said he will leave so that a connection can be used , so i think maybe before anything is said in haste , things should be looked at a bit better

Ok I'm not entirely sure what Mibbit is, but from an outsiders viewpoint I feel that Illusion has a preoccupation with numbers of chatters in her room. I know of several chatters who, through no fault of their own, have been banned from Illy's room. Perhaps she should unban these and allow them access to increase the numbers who park in that room.
Personally I don't give a monkey's left ear about numbers... as long as the room is run properly and chatters enjoy the atmosphere and the fun of it. Numbers themselves have no reflection on the room owner, in my view, just on the moderators and chatters in there at the time.
I am sure the Administrators of the site have some idea of the connections to their servers and what they are used for, therefore is this point really relevant - Mibbits? I think this might be a personal attack on Tango who, perhaps innocently, has transgressed some unwritten rule that only allows 3 connections to the servers at a time. I wish I had more connections as my family cannot connect to the server and chat, as I use two bots and my own connection, thus using up my quota.

First....Yes tango, I have asked you before to remove a connection so that I can access from work, you did it ONCE and I thanked you for that. Then it went back to you using all the connections again. You said you needed to "USE" them. But when checking the idle status of these nicks you say you are "using"...sometimes the idle status is over 18 hours. Therefore they are not being used alot of the time and prevents others from using the mibbit connection. Ironically, Nath's connection has been dropped alot since I have made this post, but not beforehand. I have been able to access from work recently and thank you for that. (It was not meant to be a personal attack towards you.)

Second....Precious, this issue does not involve you...at all. You are a 3rd party here that has no involvement. Nothin was said in "haste" here. I asked tango to remove a clone once and he did and I thanked him. After that I left him messges to remove again so I could access from work. There was no response. I was not able to access again until I finally made this post.

Third....BusyElf, seriously, this forum thread has NOTHING to do with you nor do you have any idea what it is in regards to. You are clueless. Your sole purpose seems to be only to harrass me in what ever way possible. You have been banned from my room, and you are well aware you are banned from my room. Yet, you attempt to constantly come in and when that is not allowed, you seem to try to find any way necessary to harrass me either by this forum or other means. You do not know what Mibbit is nor do you understand the situation. As far as "connections", my room has 2 (TWO) clones at all times on my OWN IP. One is my bot and the other is a nick I use in Flash for helping in support room. If you want to throw accusations about connections and people wanting room counts or numbers, then go back to Precious and Tango and ask them why they are running 9-10 clones in their rooms? My suggestion to you is to put yourself above chat gossip and stop harrassing me and just post to the threads you know something about. I will say again, this chat server has a policy of harrassment. So I'm asking you now in public to stop it.

hi basicaly i think j should maybe setup mibbit properley so the server can detect from which ip users are connecting from its very easy to setup and would prevent users been denied access due to users using mibbit to avoid the server 3 connection limit as server would detect which ip they are connecting from also it would prevent users from stopping legitimate users frorm connecting by hoggin all ther connection limits from mibbit i know people will say people should use mirc / flash any other client but when people are at work / away from home they cannot always install software to pcs /workstations they are using. a raise on connection limit will just result in the hoggers hoggin more connections therfore still same problem

[BusyElf]

Yes I am well aware that this is a public forum and as the owner of the site has stated "This is a public forum and people are allowed to post as they please, within reason" , then I feel at liberty to express my concern at the motives of your attack on Tango. I am sure that there are others who use mibbits (a chat client) , yet you particularly use his name to accuse. I will reiterate that you have banned innocent people from your room and feel this is as unfair to them as is your attack on Tango. If I may take this opprtunity to ask you to chat in private about this and resolve this bad situation instead of this public forum,then I will glady discuss it with you.
You leave your name in the lobby chatroom while you are at work!. Is this not an abuse of connections in it's self? I advise that you discconect when you are not using the connection thus freeing up resources on the server and/or Mibbits. Let not the pot call the kettle black.

Elf....I have spoken to you in private MANY times. I don't see any further conversations that need to be discussed over this. Chatting in private with you AGAIN OVER THIS ISSUE is not going to change anything. The bans are good and they will stay. If you think by this continued harrassment over the issue that something will change, it will NOT. So I'll ask you ONCE AGAIN to please stop harrassing me over this subject. I'm sure when J said "within reason", he did not mean for it to be a tool for harrassment. This ban issue in my room is closed and done. Please STOP harrassing me over it.

As far as the accusation of an "attack" on Tango...as I stated above in my post.....(It was not meant to be a personal attack towards you.)

In regards to me leaving my nick on this server, we are permitted to have 3 connections here on our own IP. There is NO time limit on how long our nicks can stay connected. If you have an issue with people parking on EWC's server or in the lobby, then your complaint should be directed with EWC personnel and not on this thread. You are grasping at straws to try to find anything to complain about.

Mibbit is allowed. We will not be changing the manner in which it's allowed.
