Hello, I just thought I should chime in here. Below you will find OseK's (Greg Taylor) manifesto sent to EFnet admins during an event last year where OseK was attacking most EFnet servers. Additionally, I can tell you that Greg was attacking my network at some point in the last year, and readily admitted to it at the time. Signed, J. Quincy Taxpayer ----- Forwarded message from Don Crossman <deecee@deecee.ca> ----- DO NOT INCLUDE MY EMAIL ADDRESS IN THIS LETTER OR MY NAME KEEP ME ANONYMOUS MINUS MY NICKNAME --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- -- To whom it may concern, I got by the nickname of OseK on the Eris Free Network, EFNet. I am sending this e-mail in response to certain claims and accusations being made by a few people in an attempt to clear up the situation for those who are both confused and aggitated. I will start off by giving you the reasons for my actions and what my intentions are and why I am taking the actions that I am taking. EFNet, throughout the existance of the network, has seen its good days and its bad. EFNet has had to deal with corrupt, abusive, egotistical opers who work contrary to the best interests of this network, and use their position of power to satisfy whatever ego they have. Unfortunately, for this network it has come to the point where the Network Administrators of certain servers have created an ironfist autocracy so to speak, where they can do whatever they want and answer to nobody. I myself, have put up with this constant abuse for several years. All of these years, every time I'm /killed, I do nothing, every time I'm /klined I do nothing, but most recently, a channel that I run that had no bots, only people, was taken over, mass /killed and set as a TROLL channel on #chanfix over a matter that didn't involve us to begin with. The person who committed this act was Darryl Williams, also known as shi on EFNet. Former torix admin and currently opered on NAC, Mindspring, Easynews, and Security Support. His abusive record extends much farther than even the most notorious criminals. He has run banned hacks on TorIX, has committed countless acts of abuse against users and then taunted those users into attempting to packet torix, which he thought, was invincible. After over 15 warnings to him to watch his actions, after constant emails to irc@torix.ca which were either pasted back to me and laughed at, or thrown into the trash bin, and after attempting to talk to various opers on that server to complain, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Either Torix was going to remove his O: line or it would be dropped indefinately. Neither of which happened. I was approached by the admin of torix asking why this was going on and I posted him legit and authentic logs (despite what shi may try to say). The TorIX admin decided because the logs showed too much incriminating evidence against shi, that he would suspend shi's O: line for further review of his future on that server. shi meanwhile utilized a backdoor in the IRCD itself to re-add his O: line and try to hide as a TCM bot. That is the direct reason he was permanently removed from TorIX. For adding himself back without permission from the other admins. Now we will talk about Qeast and what their big deal is. Qeast is WELL KNOWN for being the home of abusive admins in .CA EFNet. xyst and atomix have run server hacks, and have committed various forms of abuse including channel take overs, packeting of other .ca servers in order to reduce those servers max clients, and nickname juping. xyst also sees any potential future hub as a threat to qeast and utilizes his 2 of 4 votes to deny links to such servers. I will bring up irc.magic.ca and irc.total.net which were servers on efnet for many years, who even sponsored qeast's link to efnet, but xyst utilized his 2 votes per server to deny them links. For the record, xyst and shi are friends, they say they aren't but they are. IRCD/HUB IP addresses: These IPs were obtained through several confidential sources, some of which are operlist users, operwall viewers, and opers themselves. I will let you know that the HUB IP I had gotten for Qeast in the 192.77.73.* block which was broadcasting multiple IPs on various ports. I decided to drop the router which is what is currently under attack. Servers that will not be attacked: Servers that will NOT be attacked are those that the admins of said servers and opers, have shown countless times that they are truly here for the network and not for their ego. Opers who work hard every day to provide users with the most comfortable atmosphere to chat in. Opers who follow their own policies and will not allow abusive admins to push them around. These servers include all of .EU EFNet. irc.aloha.net, irc.vrfx.com, irc.nac.net, irc.limelight.us, irc.xo, and more. Take Care, OseK ----- End forwarded message ----- Concerned about your privacy?
