Not many people know I ever had a wiki in the first place, I did, a long time ago, but never really finished its content, this time will be different!

Found at wiki.lethality.me.uk, it will host a wealth of information, mostly tutorials and stuff I’m constantly telling people, or helping with on a daily basis, most relating to IRC and coding.
I already have an idea of the kinda stuff that’s going on it, but would like some ideas to help prioritize, and also just comments about anything else you’d like.

Some of the upcoming tutorials include:

  • Complete walk-throughs on setting up UnrealIRCd and InspIRCd with Anope Services.
  • Individual, in-depth tutorials on the above IRCd’s (setting up, modules, troubleshooting).
  • mIRC: setting up, configuring and adding scripts.
  • Anope: Setting up latest 1.8 and 1.9 releases, upgrading, troubleshooting, and installing modules.
  • Coding: Tips and help on programming/scripting, with an index of some I’ve done.
  • Most likely some Adobe Photoshop/After Effects stuff now I have screen-capturing mastered.

..So… comment below (hoping it works), and send your ideas.… Read the rest

A number of people have discussed the beginnings of UKCB, most versions lack facts, so here’s mine, using various sources and my own knowledge.

Bobby Amlani (30), (nick alias: Blaster) founded UKChatterbox whilst studying at the Anglia Ruskin University, along with his brother Parul, aka Paz. This year marks it’s 10th anniversary, during which time, the service has seen a lot of changes, users, staff members and problems. What follows is an in-depth history of UKChatterbox (UKCB) from it’s beginning as a small IRC network, upto the present day, the largest moderated UK based chatrooms provider with ~2 million registered users.

Firstly, UKChatterbox didn’t first appear on the net as “UKChatterbox”, it’s beginning dates back to 2001. A website called gasbubbles.com created by Bobby, provided chat targeted at university students. Profiles had more details then the current UKCB, with users allowed to post contact details for IM (AOL, MSN).

UKCB’s predecessor; Gasbubbles

 

 

 

 
Gasbubbles was a laid-back service, few rules and regulations. In time the website-side of it would fade as UKChatterbox grew, although for a large time UKCB’s chat rooms were on the same server as GasBubbles, eventually these would merge.
Mid-2002 saw the first appearance of UKChatterbox, this was accompanied by UKStudentChat and UKTeenChatrooms, all with their own sites, although seemingly all sharing the same database, little-known fact, ukstudentchat.co.uk will, to this day take you to ukchatterbox.

UKChatterbox was aimed at both users in the UK, and users from outside, who just wanted to talk … Read the rest
