34 | <PRE>><i>We're running IRC Services 4.5.45 and have been running it for quite a | |
35 | </I>><i>few years now. We are looking at doing an upgrade to the 5.0 version, | |
36 | </I>><i>one of the main reasons for the upgrade is to better prevent "nick | |
37 | </I>><i>collectors" | |
38 | </I>><i> | |
39 | </I>><i>However we are uncertain on one thing, once we set a limit on allowed | |
40 | </I>><i>registered nicknames, we are uncertain what will happen to those whom | |
41 | </I>><i>have say 100 nicks. | |
42 | </I>[...] | |
43 | ><i> 4. it will simply retain 4.x setup and allow those with the | |
44 | </I>><i> nicks to continue as they we're but with no ability to add to | |
45 | </I>><i> there collection, simply keep identifying them. | |
46 | </I> | |
47 | Services takes this approach: no change will be made to the existing | |
48 | databases, but users with more nicknames than the limit will no longer | |
49 | be allowed to register or link new nicks until they ddrop some of the | |
50 | old ones. | |
51 | ||
52 | Also, if you're considering upgrading, I'd like to recommend going | |
53 | directly to version 5.1 rather than 5.0; while there was admittedly a | |
54 | bit of a fiasco earlier with a few security bugs, the current version | |
55 | (5.1.10) should be stable, and I don't anticipate making any significant | |
56 | changes at this point. Either way, be sure to read the upgrade notes in | |
57 | the Services manual (<A HREF="http://www.ircservices.za.net/docs/upgrade.html">http://www.ircservices.za.net/docs/upgrade.html</A>) | |
58 | before upgrading, as there are several important changes to be aware of | |
59 | between each version. | |
