Then leave things as they are and we'll await developments. Yes, Ilkotech is expressing a hope to revive CIA. For various reasons both technical and political I am near certain the effort will go nowhere. From #cia: [17:19] Talad Hi [17:19] Talad the CIA bot in our channel is gone [17:20] Talad how to restore it ? [17:20] shadowm /topic [17:20] shadowm (Old news at this point, really.) [17:21] Talad what is the problem? [17:21] AI0867 the server was deleted [17:21] AI0867 the version running on it was never checked into version control, nor was it backed up [17:22] AI0867 in short, CIA is *gone* [17:22] AI0867 for a replacement, see #irker or http://www.catb.org/~esr/irker/ [17:25] The_Tick BearPerson: do we know if there was a backup of the database holding all the configs? [17:26] BearPerson There might be one on a hard drive somewhere in my apartment, but it'd be at least 2 years old at this point [17:26] BearPerson haven't gotten around to digging up that box yet [17:26] The_Tick might be worth pulling the emails out and shooting everyone an email explaining the situation [17:27] The_Tick so they stop coming in here asking about it [17:30] Talad "the server was deleted" <- by the owner? [17:32] Talad maybe CIA was discussed/agreed with freenode staff [17:32] Talad and they have a copy of it? [17:32] The_Tick doubt it [17:33] Talad I guess they are careful about widespread bots like CIA [17:33] shadowm No, freenode had nothing to do with running CIA.vc. [17:34] shadowm And the server was deleted by the hosting company, while the current owners did not have a backup plan at all. [17:36] Talad I see [17:36] Talad ok, thanks On the other hand contrib/ciabot isn't taking up a lot of space in your tree, either, so there's little harm in leaving it in place. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
