Spring Cleaning

Submitted by Darren on April 9, 2006 – 10:07 pm12 Comments

Good news and bad news. The good news: the torrent RSS feeds have been fixed. The bad news: our IRC server is dieing a slow and painful death. We’re currently evaluating options and hope to move to a new IRC server by the end of the week. We’ll have details here when that takes place. If you have suggestions for IRC hosting that won’t break the bank we’d love to hear from you.

In other news, we’re evaluating several gamehosting companies and hope to have a Hak5 gameserver soon. We’ll most likely rotate the game every month and schedule an event where the Hak.5 crew will join in the fragging pleasure.

Thank you everyone for the awesome feedback on episode 9, your continued support means so much to us.

    Go with EFnet or Undernet. Some major IRC server that most people use. It’s nice to maybe stick to one server sometimes. :) Or maybe be a bit wild, use ORC, if you want total privacy.

    One more vote for BF2. I’m sure your machines can handle it, the game scales pretty well.

    Hey Darren,
    I have an IRC server on a network I’ve been a part of for way too long, six plus years. We’re a great bunch of people, and there aren’t any power hungry opers because we’re all good friends. It’s kind of been a hobby for me to code IRC Services in C since we started the net. If one of you guys wanna come check it out you can find us on irc.cyberchat.org, I’m always in #coders Nick is either datapurge or purge[away].

    Late!

  • Hello,
    Big fan of your show. I especially love the outtakes and some of the mods. I’m a netadmin on AllXtremenet, and we’d be happy to host channels for you and any other group. Come check us out at irc.allxtremenet.net. The opers all hang out in #opers, and we’re usually responsive.

    Thanks for the show,
    ARc
