managed eggdrop · kire network

We put the bot in the channel.
You don’t compile anything.

No Linux. No Tcl. No “which .conf was it.” Our admins install, harden, and keep it running. You are the owner. DCC, telnet, or just sit in the channel and tell it what to do.

*** Joined #yourchan (ops: yes)
You went to lunch. The channel did not notice.

$./what

This is the managed product. If you already compile Eggdrop for fun, that is the shell. This page is for everyone else.

./install

We build it

Install, config, ident, vhost, the boring parts. You pick nick, network, and channels at order time.

./control

You are the owner

DCC chat, telnet to the bot, or talk to it on IRC. Add users, channels, scripts. Change it later. You are not locked into the order form.

./vhosts

Vanity PTR included

The bot shows up as something amusing, not dhcp-12.isp.net. Same pool as the rest of KIRE.

./stay-up

DDoS in front

Channel fights still involve packets. The filter sits in front of the bot, not as a footnote after it drops.

./scripts

TCL without the compiler

Trivia, custom scripts, the usual channel toolkit. Tell us what you want loaded. You do not have to know where tclsh lives.

./ops

The actual job

Auto-op, kick/ban lists, flood protection, takeover protection. The reason people still run Eggdrop.

$./why

01 no box

You wanted a bot, not a VPS

Compiling Eggdrop is a weekend for some people. For everyone else it is how the channel dies on a Tuesday.

02 no 03:00

Userfile restores are our problem

Disks die. Processes stop. We run the machine. You run the channel.

03 still Eggdrop

Not a toy “IRC bot” app

Partyline, userfile, TCL, the real thing. You can grow into it. You do not have to start there.

04 same network

It sits on KIRE

Same DDoS, same vhosts, same people who have been doing this since 1997. The domain is eggdrops. The backbone is not a surprise.

.tcl

$whois eggdrops

KIRE’s managed Eggdrop offering. Order, tell us the nick and the channel, wait for it to join. Typically the same business day. Then you own it.

$./order

$3.99/mo or $39.99/yr. Monthly, or pay the year up front. Yearly skips the $1 setup fee. Existing customers use the client area.
