Angry Pirate IRC has moved from freenode.net->rizon.net

New info:

irc.rizon.net port 6667
#p99

There were a few reasons for the transition, but what sold me was the number of plugins and features available on Rizon that makes Freenode staff look like morans who have no clue. Also Freenode limits connections thus disrupting my botnet.

The Freenode channel has been MLOCK'd with flags +nmt and this information in the topic. This means it is essentially frozen in a muted state forever. I believe within 24 hours all of the regular pals will have transitioned, and anyone else who ever tries to join #p99 only to find a vacant room will know where we went.

As IRC tyrant and lead oppressor I approve this move and assure it can only result in more freedom and propserity.

Rizon is a large Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network with an average of around 20,000 users. The IRC network itself ranks number 5 among the largest IRC networks.[1][2][3] File sharing of other copyrighted material such as Warez is also common in some channels on the network.[4][5][6][7]


DDoS attack against mIRCX [edit]

In early 2004 the mIRCX and Aniverse IRC networks were the victims of Denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) and were forced to shut down temporarily; Aniverse later resumed operations at a greatly reduced capacity. This in turn caused approximately 8,000-10,000 IRC users of various anime fansubbing channels to migrate to Rizon. Rizon was forced to increase its number of servers to handle the additional users. This also had the effect of making Rizon a target for DDoS attacks.

Contrary to rumors, Rizon had no part in a DDoS attack against mIRCX in 2004. Richard "Krashed" Roby was the actual perpetrator who initiated the attacks in retaliation against CJB networks for shutting down his botnet.[8] Roby was later raided by the FBI as part of Operation Cyberslam.[9][10] Initial charges brought against Roby as part of Operation Cyberslam were dropped but he later pleaded guilty to lesser charges and was sentenced to an 18-month prison sentence.[11][12][13]

DDoS attacks against rival networks [edit]

On May 25, 2007 as part of Operation: Bot Roast conducted by the FBI, Rizon's founder, Jason Michael Downey aka "Nessun" was charged with using a botnet in 2004 to launch Denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) against other computer networks, including rival IRC networks such as IRCHighway.[14][15][16][17][18]

On June 20 2007, Downey pleaded guilty in a US Federal court to operating a botnet "of up to 6,000 infected computers" and using it to launch DDoS attacks "From on or about June 18, 2004 through on or about September 5, 2004." Downey faced up to 24 months in prison and a fine of up to $40,000.[14]

When asked his reasons behind performing the DDoS attacks, Downey explained to U.S. District Judge Nancy G. Edmunds that "I was doing it because I could, more than anything," and "It was a dumb thing to do."[19]

Downey was sentenced on October 23, 2007 to 12 months in prison for causing over $20,000 in losses and damages due to unlawful computer intrusion and was ordered to pay a total of $21,110 in damages to 3 companies that were affected by his DDoS attacks. After his release, Downey will have a probation term of 3 years with no computer access without prior permission and will have to perform 150 hours of community service.[14][15][20][21][22]

After Downey's sentencing, some of Rizon's users who felt Downey was wrongly accused created an online petition titled "Free Nessun!"[23]

i reccomend running a privmsg command:

/msg nickserv register PASSWORD420 legit@email.com

They require email validation, but registering is worth ([m]y)our interest, this has always been good in case some fag steals your name you can ghost them but this will also protect you from the botnet
