Updates Windfyre has opened 100 slots for NeoBouncer today to allow our chatters to get a free BNC. A bouncer is a service that keeps you connected to the network and your channels 24/7 providing a log of them for when you get back. To get one, head over to #NeoBouncer and check out their website, NeoBouncer. Windfyre now has a Janus Link. Janus Internetwork Channel Linker is a server that acts as a hub of which many popular networks connect to and can share specific channels with eachother. This is a bit like cross-community where we geet to chat with people from many other networks and travel around networks. This will not affect any current channels on Windfyre and you will not have to change anything. Currently we have linked with #janus and #chat, but we will be linking a few more in due cource. Late news, but yes Windfyre has merged with JangoIRC. This has boosted our userbase by over 100+ active chatters, and created a fresh, new community. Windfyre is as of now ranked #327 on SearchIRC and climbing! As per the previous post, we are expecting downtime. Our ISP has now notified us that our activation date is 8pm GMT on 30th June 2010. We have been told that this should take no longer than a few minutes. Lukily i have a day off then so we should be up in quick time. ;) Windfyre is expecting downtime anywhere between 22 June - 28 June 2010 for a few minutes to an hour. This is due to our upgrade to a static IP and Business Class connection. (finally) Due to this, our ISP may have us offline for a few minutes to a few hours, and I may not be around. Please be patient, we will be online as soon as possible. The great news is that this will end the netsplits and minimise downtime. We've sucessfully switched our network's router to a new Linksys running DD-WRT. This will greatly improve our stability and speed compared to our old ISP one. Thanks for your patience during our downtime! Following the current roll of module installs, we installed three new features today. The first is "!sync". This allows channel staff to sync the current access list after doing "!xop add nick" or similar. The second is an updated bs_fantasy_ext for our new Anope version, and the third is vHostServ which allows users to set their own vHosts via a bot in #vHost. Enjoy! We updated our Anope services to 1.8.4 today which will allow us to install some new modules, so stay tuned. Today, we have installed ns_ajoin which allows users to automatically join channels when they join. To use this module look in "/ns help set ajoin". Ive now got the BOPM sorted and it's catching 'em happily. There has also been a few scripts made to help manage users connecting. As for the updates, #help has moved to #Services (as before) and Denora Stats has been installed. Take a look at our Network statistics on the left or see a detailed report at http://irc.windfyre.net/stats. Come and join us at irc.windfyre.net 6667. Please invite your friends, everyone is welcome. Take advantage of our re-opening and you could be the one with the biggest channel! You can also get a chat for your website by clicking the "Java source" link on the right... |
