- Although it may sound funny, it's true. And according to the history of Eggdrop, the information about #GayTeen is correct. Nothing in the Eggdrop article is a hoax or a prank, I have correctly sourced the information and proven its validity. -

Yes, but what is it?
Speaking as someone not familiar with Eggdrop or IRC: Could someone please include a jargon-free note at the beginning of this article on just what Eggdrop is/does? (Misplaced Pages:Explain_jargon#Subject-specific_terms). Thanks. -- 201.37.229.117 (talk) 06:29, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- «Eggdrop is a popular IRC bot.» the page says. One can follow the See also links to IRC bot and Internet Relay Chat. So I don't really see what you expect the page to say? -- skiidoo (talk) 17:42, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Censorship of #gayteen in article
Mention of the EFNet channel #gayteen in the article has been censored many times by different people with various supposed reasons. I'm including additional references below that would be difficult to include as inline citations.
Search Engine Test
Editors should note that this passage easily passes the search engine test.
Google search for "eggdrop" "gayteen"
Valis
Valis was the name of Robey Pointer's #gayteen Eggdrop bot (see below).
Valis and #gayteen are mentioned in Wired 4.04: Bots Are Hot! p.5
ABOUT file
While the ABOUT file included with Eggdrop itself is probably about as authoritative as it gets, it is also possible to find reference to EFNet #gayteen in very old versions of Eggdrop itself.
Many old versions of Eggdrop are available via the Eggheads FTP server.
Notable versions
Eggdrop version 0.7d (released April 11, 1994)
From the file 'sample.config' contained in the 0.7c source archive:
# configuration file for Valis
# (eggdrop 0.7)
# username for user@host
user valis
# real name field (inconsequential, really)
realname the divine invasion
# make a log file? what's it called?
logfile gayteen.log
# these are dynamic (ie, chan be changed and rehashed)
channel #gayteen
nick Valis
# where to store user records:
userfile gayteen.user
# who's running this damn bot?
admin Reid (reid@boss.math.uic.edu), Robey (rpointe@eng.clemson.edu)
Eggdrop version 0.9r (released December 1, 1995)
From the file 'eggdrop.doc' contained in the 0.9r source archive:
If you have questions or comments about this file, please send me email

(1) ABOUT EGGDROP
Eggdrop was created around December 1993 to help stop the incessant
wars on #gayteen. It spawned from another bot I had been writing
at the time called "Unrest". The purpose of Unrest was to answer
help requests from other bots (the equivalent of eggdrop's current
helpbot option). The first public release was (I think) v0.6, and
it's grown a lot since then.Tothwolf (talk) 00:07, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
