About The Program
Welcome to the main website for ShoutBot.
ShoutBot is a program used by internet radio stations to display data
requested by end users in open channel. The program works by
connecting a client to any IRC network and joining a channel owned by
the radio station. ShoutBot is designed to be fast, efficient, and
reliable.
ShoutBot is released as open-source
software under the GNU General Public License. You may copy and/or
redistribute the source code for this program under that license.
I, myself, have deployed ShoutBot in a few
large ShoutCast-based radio station channels (usually over 100 chatters
in the channel at any one moment), and the bot has always performed
quite well.

Jan. 9, 2004 - ShoutBot 3.1 released!
- by nemesis
I finally worked on ShoutBot a bit more and added support for icecast
streams. ShoutBot 3.1 also adds the ability to execute shell commands
when dj's log in or log out, and you can now use ChanServ to set topics. Be
sure to check out version 3.1, and let me know if you spot any bugs!

I hate to go on a bit of a troll here, but it seems that a few people
have decided to download ShoutBot and relplace the version string taking
credit for the release. One instance of this can be found on Undernet
in the channel #Mp3z where a user altered the CTCP VERSION reply of their
ShoutBot, "Mp3zRadio." Please leave the version
information alone. If people keep messing with it, I may stop development.
Thanks to all of you that care enough to be decent about it!
Aug. 13, 2003 - ShoutBot 3.0.1 released!
- by nemesis
There were a couple minor bugs found in 3.0. Version 3.0.1 has been released
to fix them. More information on the bugs can be found
here.
Aug. 12, 2003 - ShoutBot website
construction started - by nemesis
I've begun the website construction today. I'll try and get
everything up over the next few days, so bear with me with all the
broken links! I'm still working on getting the CVS stuff up.
I haven't really used CVS, so I'm still new to it.
Aug. 11, 2003 - ShoutBot 3.0 released!
- by nemesis
Today marks the first public release of ShoutBot. I decided that
after months of private development, it really made sense to share this
code. I realized the lack of this sort of program, so here it is!
Best of all, it's 100% free. I hope you enjoy this program as much
as I do. Please don't feel shy about requesting features; and
PLEASE let me know if you find any bugs. Thanks! |
