Alt.fan.elite (IRC)

From Elite Wiki

The #alt.fan.elite channel started in 2000 as a companion to the newsgroup, alt.fan.elite. Since that time it's had a core membership, who can usually be found idling in the channel.

The #alt.fan.elite channel is on the SynIRC network. Point your IRC client at irc.synirc.net port 6667.

There is one bot in the channel, |dizzy|. You can query this bot for stats on users, such as when a user last logged in, or how much they have chatted. Commands are sent just by speaking in the channel, but prefixing the command name with an !. Common commands are:

  •  !seen [nick] - Reports when the user [nick] was last seen in a channel that |dizzy| monitors.
  •  !stat [nick] - Chat statistics about a user.
  •  !top10 - Top 10 conversationalists
  •  !top20 - Top 11-20 conversationalists

Anybody who becomes a regular user of the channel generally gets given ops via chanserv.
