Move #utjb to #jailbreak?

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Sounds good to me.

It's not like I could force anyone to leave #utjb even if I for some reason wanted to, and there's certainly no harm in idling in one more channel...

[edit]
In fact, I guess I could force people to leave #utjb and never enter it again, but I don't quite see how that would help things. :p

Well, as people are able to connect to multiple channels at once with most IRC clients, I don't think there's a need to force people out. They can choose for themselves wether they take the spam and talk with ingame people or not :)

Yeah, I suppose if we have a channel dedicated to Jailbreak, ie #jailbreak, and keep #utjb running too for all the ingame chat. If an ingame text version of the UT2004 IRC client is made for Jailbreak, we could point it to that channel.
That, or we could keep the #utjb channel as an 'ingame' channel. People in UT2004 talking with people in UT through the Screen.

Registering a "game-related" channel on ETG has become a real pain... instead of just asking in #etg, they now require you to send them an email explaining who you are, why you want to have that channel and when you're available online...

Would it really be that hard to change the screenchat to link to another channel?
I think it shouldn't be a problem to change the channel configuration of ScreenSlidePageChat actors at runtime with a mutator.

You forgot the questions like "When do you shower?" or "What is your bank account number?"...

Heck, that sucks... they seem to want to limit the number of channels...

By the way, I approve naming the channel #jailbreak, #utjb just doesn't sound logical for inviting people - who would land in an empty channel after /joining #jailbreak and they would spend their lovely time scratching their heads, saying, "How the bloomin' cow did I land meself here?"

I could have written the mutator... if it weren't for JB3. I don't own UT, so I can't. But maybe, when I explore the deep codebase of UT2004, I might write some kind of IRC actor too... maybe... For security reasons, I don't promise anything. Promises can be broken, so I keep their number to a minimum.

I think it's a good idea.

I always assumed we weren't #jailbreak because of the other JB mods out there. But these days it sems to me that we are the most prominent one on the scene.
