lol true, I came in hoping for cat pictures only to find lame warz!

I was here when they disabled CHAT... I'm sure you might even be able to find my comment about it on this forum...

Private server. You're a damned cheater warz. :o

yup. its the real tgk, though. everyone but rosethorn was there. this still brings back fond memories of actual bnet servers, though. you could even say it depicts real life events.

Except that anticipating when the actual servers would split was more enticing. That's what kept me on for days at a time, sad to say. lol.

yeah those war servers were lame.

i dunno if you guys remember how you could register accounts on europe and hijack the ones on useast when the servers split. that was pretty awesome.

Cute pussy chats :)

That was years after chat got disabled from private channels -- back then, all clients could go almost anywhere.
From what I remember, JSTR used to top channel limits, so when a channel was full, you could still enter from a JSTR client. After they restricted the older clients to a few public channels, there was a bug that confused the server when you tryed putting 35+ JSTR clients in channel StarcraftJ 1 (or somthing), so they made that channel restricted to the JSTR client.
IIRC, the bnet server used to move them to StarcraftJ 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 and just kept going.

how about WAY back in the day when nbbot could use the statstring to sniff IPs?

I remember a bot that used to greet people with their ip, was it that? :P
I always assumed it was gathering account names and ips from the game list.
If it was CHAT related, I was never into bot design when CHAT bots ruled :(

Once upon a time, IPs were sent in the user event packet.

Yeah, I know that there is a space for them, but by the time i started writeing bots, they were not filled with the users IP, thats why i asked if it was CHAT related (IE, if they still were sent in the CHAT protocol or not)

if i recall, you could only get the IPs of users using CHAT. i remember spending a few days finding proxies, and had a solid list thatd let me load up like 30 bots reliably, and when i loaded them into a channel they all got sniffed and were in use the next day. lol

i also remember something about setting DND made them unable to sniff you. so much strategy back then. i loved all the bot bugs that you could exploit, like massbots (i think, maybe winters) ascii dot beeping bug, and it'd make it drop. i also remember snipping ips, and using the ath0++ dial up hang up packet sender to drop dial up users. ooooh man we owned ]$[ with that. they were all dial up almost.

yeah that was like '98 '99ish

I remember when they used to use account numbers for every account..

Tracking account numbers to usernames was one of my favorite features on Topazchat

hehe, yeah, there was definitely a time when bnet was actually pretty damn fun. as 'features' were 'fixed'/removed it just went down hill. i just enjoyed the days of loading up massbots, mass winters bots, heresy chats and even when nbbot started to come around load those up too - then leaving for school, and coming home to see if A) i hadnt disconnected due to dialup B) i was still in the channels i was going for and C) if i had ops. lol.

remember there being like 8 or 9 servers on east, and being able to load 8 or 9 bots to an ip, and when splits happened the strategy was to have a single bot on every server. and when you could dupe peoples names, and knock them offline. lol.

its just funny that me and torque used to joke about this stuff in literally 6th grade, and now we're almost out of college. wow
