Steven P. Administrators Posted May 18, 2006 Administrators Share Posted May 18, 2006 IRC support from Neowin is temporarily closed. We were offered space at Stardocks servers and we appreciate it but issues came up and they were never resolved so we have decided to remove endorsement for the channel/server. We will be back later with a NEOWIN IRC server with managenent designed for our own purposes. The target is about 2 weeks but this could slip. For now the server can still be accessed but no longer under irc.neowin.net address and you will have to abide by Stardock management rules. Thats all Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462254-ircneowinnet-closed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenreaper Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I hope to hell that you guys will be using a proper ircd and not that crappy IRCPlus/IRCPro IRCX Pro ****** of a server that stardock use. You mean the one nobody could crack security on because no cracker considered it worth their time to figure out how? ;) Speaking as a server admin, it's been sufficient for our needs. Maybe it doesn't do things exactly the way you're used to, but that's what diversity is all about. If everyone used Unreal, life would get boring. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462254-ircneowinnet-closed/#findComment-587520402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
