1. Server Technical Requirements:

Each server must run the a version of the IRCd and Open Proxy Monitor that has been approved by a majority vote of the Routing Team which contains several modifications essential for the Abjects environment. Its machine must have a relatively low system load that will allow for the server. The machine must be stable enough to support the server 24hours a day, and the link to the Internet must be at least 5Mb/sec. The machine must be a dedicated server (Absolutely no shells).

2. Linking to the Abjects Network:

The following rules MUST be followed before a server is linked to the Abjects network:

• The server owner MUST fill out the link application located at https://www.abjects.net/linkapp.html and complete it with truthful information. All information in the link application will be verified.

• Upon successful approval to link to the Abjects network, the owner must allow a routing administrator to install and configure the IRCd and Open Proxy Monitor that has been approved by the Routing Team.

• The server will be test linked for a minimum of 1 week and must have less then 2 five minute splits during the test link period. Extended outages during the test link will result in the server being permanently de-linked. 

• New links from members, who are currently in the test link period, will require a new link application for that server, which will be reviewed as normal by our routing staff.

• New links related to current server admins at abjects may be handled on a case by case basis.

• Applicant is to have fully authorized use of the server being considered. If your server has been "carded" or otherwise fraudulently acquired, we DO NOT want it here. DO NOT APPLY if this is the case.

3. De-linking a Abjects Server

The following are reasons for possible removal of a server from the
Abjects network:

• If a server is not connected more than 75% of a 30 day period.

• Failure to update the ircd files in a timely manner.

• If the admin loses access to the server, and its files.

• The admin(s) of the server abandon it.

• Failure to follow orders to remove an IRCop who is breaking rules.

• If the server/admin in any way becomes a considerable detriment to the network performance, stability or operation, and reasonable measures to correct the situation are not taken.

4. Financial Disclaimer

You hold harmless all those involved in Abjects, including but not limited to, its server admins, hub admins and users. Abjects its server admins, opers and users will not be held responsible for any financial loss incurred by you prior to, during, and/or after the link process.
