Linking
Well look at that, you're interested in linking your server to Fat Maggots? We are always open to the possibility of linking a new server. We have a few simple guidelines to help you decide if your server will qualify.
First thing i really need to let you know that, Fat Maggots needs truthful & trusty staff members. Please hang out for a few days and introduce yourself before applying. We are more comfortable with applications from people we have had a chance to meet.
Activity is also one of the point you should know before linking your server, the link itself isn't all what we want there needs to be someone who has his eyes open. As we pronounced in our introduction message, we are to give as much as possible services support to the user.
Server abilities, well lets start with connection, please NO cablemodems or DSL either, obviously. Preference is given to those with (at least) a dual-homed connection. The closer to a large backbone the better. We're looking for high reliability, low latency connections. We get targeted with DDOS attacks (Distributed Denial of Service) from time to time. Your ISP must not be the type who will bill you for the bandwidth or discontinue your service if they discover you were the target of the DDOS. Even better if they will work with you to filter out the attack upstream, though an acceptable response is for them to simply block outside access to your server until the attack ends. Ports 6660-6669, 7000, must be available on your IP.
System it self should me more promising, Fat Maggots is looking for a *nix type OS with enough CPU and ram to run the IRCd with up to 1000 connections. We want stable situations, where the owner of the machine is not going to force you to delink when your server is the target of a DDOS or they get bored and don't want to pay for the hosting anymore. We prefer machines which have a respectable hosting situation (i.e., not a server in somebody's dorm room).
Becoming a staff members of Fat Maggots IRC Net, well we only want people who believe in free speech, quality customer service, contributing to the network, and group decision making. Ability to handle power with restraint and responsibility is a MUST. You must also be 100% above board. This is not a place for those with involvement in activities such as spamming, botrunning, and other black-hat thuggery.
