Origin
The second (and current) incarnation of the #pvponline IRC channel was created on April 15, 2007 on the Slashnet network and has been active ever since. Amorous Eyes was the channel owner for several years until November 12th, 2009 when she quit the IRC completely and handed over founder status to Yalborap. Most of the peacekeeping is handled by Skynet. A bot Amorous Eyes programmed specifically for taking over the world this purpose.
Whenever Scott Kurtz went on one of his tirades against the community and threatened the closing down of the Image Forum completely, the IRC thread was bumped in order to give the users a place to coordinate and bitch.
The #pvponline IRC channel has been instrumental in the creation and naming of the Halforum board after Scott and Kris promptly decided to delete the Halfpixel forum.
After a long time of waiting, on November 27, 2008 the IRC sticky was finally realized.
Both Scott and Kris have made an appearance in the IRC channel.
Despite the name, #pvponline no longer has any ties to Scott Kurtz' webcomic.
Skynet
Skynet is an IRC bot programmed by Amorous Eyes who had been put in charge of automated kicks, banning, and calculating the IRC statistics. It also featured a Google and IMDb function.
It had been known to appear sentient at times but the reports of this were insubstantial.
Skynet's program went offline February 17th, 2010 and hasn't been sighted since.
Statistics
Every day around 8.30pm (CET) new activity statistics used to be calculated by Skynet and uploaded for all to see. These statistics showed who had been the most active in the past 30 days, display random quotes, some basic info of the top 10 talkers, and many more trivial statistics.
The IRC statistics have been removed with Skynet's departure.
Getting into the IRC chat
There are a number of ways of connecting to the #pvponline IRC channel.
If you have any installed IRC client simply cliking on this link will take you there [[irc://irc.slashnet.org/pvponline]]
Alternatively you can install a client such as mIRC, use the FireFox ChatZilla plugin, or connect through Mibbit.
Or, you can try connecting directly from here: [[http://www.slashnet.org/webclient/pvponline]]
If the above options are blocked or unavailable to you, try this mibbit server.

On banning policy
[13:00] <+Calleja> yes ed, mods are needed.. but are you sure you dont want also someone who cna help out with admin stuff liek you're doing now?
[13:00] <+makare> not inviting invader to the new party would not break my heart.
[13:01] <+futureking_> It would break mine
[13:01] <+futureking_> Watching him and jcm duke it out is fun
[13:01] <+Edrondol> I will probably ask for help, but this is actually not too hard. Their mod status will be for posts & posters, not admin stuff like board looks. I think they'll be okay.
[13:01] <+makare> only if you are a sadist
[13:02] <+Edrondol> I am not going to ban anyone, including Invader. I don't want this place to be oppressive.
[13:02] <+futureking_> shego/kadaj's going to be happy
[13:02] <+Vagabond> no banning anyone?
[13:02] <+makare> dont say that..
[13:02] <+makare> there may come a time
[13:02] <+Vagabond> yeah dude
[13:03] <+futureking_> Or did she know about the hp purging before she posted that murder thread?
[13:03] <+makare> I mean seriously, there are people who will push it to the limit just because you said you wouldnt ban anyone
[13:03] <+Edrondol> I didn't say I would NEVER ban. Just not to start out.
[13:04] <+Vagabond> oh, ok
[13:04] <+Edrondol> Everyone has the welcome mat. They take a big shit on it and they're gone.
[13:04] <+Vagabond> the new puppy stance, gotcha
[13:04] <+Edrondol> ;-)
On rules
[13:15] <+Edrondol> No talk about murdering people.
[13:15] <+Edrondol> No child porn.
[13:15] <+elph> but now there will be an.. assumed level of moderation since that moderator is an active member of the forum
[13:16] <+Edrondol> No porn except for maybe in a NSFW section.
[13:16] <+Reboneer> how about no porn unless linked
[13:16] <+futureking_> yeah. an nsfw section would be good
[13:16] <+Reboneer> plus NSFW tag
[13:16] <+Edrondol> And even then it has to be VERY tightly controlled.
[13:16] <+Vagabond> no duplicate threads
[13:16] <+makare> nsfw is good. because we need porn
[13:16] <+futureking_> naw. duplicate threads happen
[13:16] <+makare> that's what this chat is missing but again.. too damn many people
[13:16] <+Edrondol> No links to pirate sites except for in PMs.
[13:17] <+Edrondol> I agree with Kris that that would leave someone (me!) open to possible lawsuit.
[13:17] <+futureking_> Just no pirate links
[13:17] <+makare> I doubt you could get in a lawsuit for posting links to a site that offers pirate links.
[13:18] <+makare> that would make no sense
[13:18] <+elph> it's a sticky subject makare
[13:18] <+futureking_> The law doesn't make sense mak
[13:18] <+Vagabond> still, i understand the reasoning
[13:18] <+makare> yeah actually it does make a lot of sense, you just have to learn it
[13:18] <+Reboneer> when is there ever a need to link to pirated stuff anyway?
[13:18] <+Edrondol> <—Father, husband and breadwinner. Not taking chance.
[13:18] <+makare> coward
[13:18] <+Reboneer> we're all capable of finding it ourselves
[13:18] <+Edrondol> I mean, I like you guys & all….
[13:18] <+futureking_> we understand
[13:18] <+Vagabond> you just want to be friends?
[13:19] <+futureking_> XD
[13:19] <+Vagabond> it's…..ok
