SearchIRC – The Low Down
Apr 10th
SearchIRC – The most advanced IRC search engine.
What utter bollocks! SearchIRC throws other peoples rankings who have worked hard to get their network ranking above 820, down to 890. If I remember correctly, SearchIRC rankings are based on the number of people, the number of channels, and the freshness factor. New networks are sprouting up all over the place, but don’t last long. This pushes the larger, developing networks ranking down, making way for these smaller networks who usually die off 3 months later.
I would like to take FSIRC as an example here. Over the past 4 months, we have seen the ranking rise past several other networks to pass over 90 places. Then last week, we dropped back down these 90 places. We used to have a simple relay link with another network, but this fell (due to reasons unexplainable to anyone). This could have something to do with it, but there are networks with less users, less traffic, and with “stale channels”, and they still rank higher than FSIRC.
I just think its about time SearchIRC enforced a policy that stated that you must have over 10 users consecutively, and all services daemons must be declared (as some networks use these to bump up ratings). I’m just fed up of people cheating their way to a higher ranking. Not only is it not fair, but it doesn’t give other people the chance to excel their networks into higher rankings.
The end of an Era!

Stolen-Enterprise is failing under its own weight. The website appears to have fallen beyond repair, the IRC server appears to be offline, and they’ve ditched the SearchIRC robot.
I first started moderating on Stolen-Enterprise back in early 2007. I was quite simply a moderator, with no extra privileges. Over months and months, I was allowed a little more flexibility on the network, but I was still restricted to +o in a single channel. I was then promoted to being in charge of the Radio. I was later “sacked” for my attitude (apparently). This sparked off a new era… Fuzzy-Logic IRC. FLIRC was a single server network which was run by myself and a couple of other users. I had a fairly small userbase with nothing spectacular to provide. Towards the front end of 2008, FLIRC took a major blow. The whole network was sent down, websites deleted, both public and private. The only information I could get about them, was a single IP address. This turned out to be a Three Mobile IP, which are not traceable (at the moment).
FLIRC was over. Stolen-Enterprise was slowly coming back to its former glory. I was later approached by FSIRC if I wanted to join their network. How could I refuse an offer like this?! 12 months on, and Stolen-Enteprise is failing. Aversion has become to greedy and careless that he’s let his own network fall under its own corruption!
