Cradly announced the beta of a new service on GameSurge’s website named ‘Free Custom Title’ service.
A Custom Title is something different then a vHost or entirely ‘faked’ hostmask as Cradly explained to IRC-Junkie in a reaction:
“GameSurge has offered +x host hiding for some time, in the format
“Many of you have given us great feedback over the previous weeks and months and we have listened”, GameSurge admin Andrew starts on the network’s website. “We deliver to you today some large changes to the network that will change the face of it as we currently know it. We have listened. We have eliminated a large amount of the bureaucracy in the support and channel registration area of the network. We hope you like the changes!”
The biggest change is that the network will not restrict its channel registration process to gaming channels only. Any channel can now register, like a friends group, technical support, opensource projects, etc. Also there is no longer the requirement of a website for the channel.
“The Anope server continues to suffer a heavy DDoS attack, but don’t panic!” Anope’s Angelic announced on the SearchIRC forum.
Anope is a popular set of services in use on many IRC networks.
“Anope was attacked by a user ( KEvin of http://happyirc.ath.cx/ ) after he joined Anope’s support channel on IRC and requested help”, Angelic told IRC-Junkie in a reaction. “Unfortunately all our @’s were afk at the time and he wasn’t happy when no one responded to his question within five minutes.”
In a private message to Angelic he said the DDoS would continue untill he was helped to his satisfaction.
Development has been going slowly lately around the popular Eggdrop bot. We got into contact with lead developer Wcc and asked what causes the delay.
“There are different reasons for the slowdown for each of the branches” Wcc starts. “As for 1.6, there haven’t been any real.. problems. 1.6.17 has been a rock-solid release. As for 1.7, this is mainly due to the fact that I, personally, haven’t had any free time to do any of the major things that need to be done on it. 1.9 is once again fairly active. Alot of progress is being made.”
EFNet’s global voting body has voted to switch its Chanfix reopping service to the opensource OpenChanfix.
“EFnet has traditionally been a network of multiple implementations”, OpenChanfix coder Garion explains to IRC-Junkie. ” We are running several compatible ircd versions, and that seems to do well. When it turned out that the maintainers of the current chanfix didn’t have the time to fix bugs and add features, Beige and I decided to write our own chanfix. Apparently the EFnet admins prefer this implementation over the current chanfix, because they voted to use OCF from now on.”
