<SALUTE>

Communications Office News:
I have upgraded a few scripts on the COMM bots (dasb0t, silentone, and chewie). If you notice any problems please let me know. Somebody pointed out to me earlier that they thought something was wrong with dasb0t because it would remove all channel bans every so often. This is a normal function of the bot, every so often it will remove all channel bans to make sure the channel ban list does not get cluttered or over full. However, all bans set on the bot will remain and will get activated if a matching offender arrives on channel.

Earlier this week we had a few problems with somebody posting messages using the guest account on the forums pretending to be someone they were not. I had initially disabled guest posting and guest read of the forums, and banned the problem user. However after consulting with a few of the TC CS, I have enabled guest read on the forums again. However, users will still need an authenticated account before they can post.

I have started yet another COMM competition (this must be a record for COMM ;). Its called the "Make a new mIRC function" competition. The idea is to make a simple function that provides a useful way to do a task in mIRC. Entries do not have to be massive full fledged scripts like P&P, rather a simple paragraph of code that will do something useful.

Rewards are as follows:
1st Place: IS-GR
2nd Place: IS-SR
3rd Place: IS-BR

I'm hoping to promote mIRC scripting in the EH, and perhaps find a few good coders to help make an "EH Script" package. The contest will end at 12 midnight EST 2003/09/05. Please send all submissions to io@absolutek.ca.

Quote of the Week:
The QotW has missed a few reports due to lack of submissions, anybody wanting to submit a quote whether it be from IRC, SWG, where ever, may send them directly to me at io@absolutek.ca. This weeks quote comes from SWG in the Coronet Cantina, and its taken way out of context (those are always the best quotes :P).

Warynt Banari: I can't seem to get it back up.
Krenn'Sa Alvaak: Try harder :)
