Aah ok.

Well unfortunately, we decided to shut down Cemetech and UTI notifications as well now, so it wouldn't matter much anymore. The reason why is because Omnimaga now averages at 230 posts per day (we even had 6 days above 400 each, in the past 2 months. In June alone there were 7251 posts) and Cemetech now gets about 150 a day (versus 50 a few months ago). That makes between 300 and 500 notices that shows up in one day in the somewhat busy IRC channel. During busy periods, the amount of notifications showing up became so large that some people just either stopped using #omnimaga or simply setup the bot on their ignore list. An example of how bad it could get is http://netham45.org/irc/EfNet/view.php? ... a.20100623 from 2 to 10 AM. Also, bandwidth usage is a bigger concern now, especially that Netham45 also runs game servers and other IRC bots, in addition to using his connection for other stuff a lot. :(

In other words, it started causing more harm than benefits, so now, the bot only notifies us of new Omnimaga posts, now, like Cemetech channel bot does with Kerm's website.
