A decade of mIRC

Tuesday, March 1st, 2005

“mIRC celebrates its tenth year of development today, of having played a small though curious, and unexpected, part in the life of the Internet over the last ten years”, the mIRC website announced.

“In the early years of IRC, IRC was mostly limited to technical users, people who used non-graphical, command-line IRC clients such as ircii, and who had a fairly intricate knowledge of how IRC and the Internet worked. mIRC was designed with one purpose in mind: to make the basics of IRC accessible to as many people as possible, while at the same time retaining the technical aspects which so many others enjoyed”. mIRC remains one of the most popular clients in use on IRC today.

GamesNET releases Partial Evidence from Domain Dispute

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005

You might recall the domain dispute that took place between Donald Wasylyna, and the at that time GamesNET Board of Directors which we reported on. The case finally resulted in a settlement between the two parties on February the 4th of 2004. Part of the settlement is an agreement to remain silent over the outcome of the case from both sides.

The 15th of this month however, Donald Wasylyna, who regained the domain GamesNET.net as part of the settlement, published part of the evidence on the GamesNET website. Wasylyna explains that he was only able to gain access to the evidence over Federal court-orders. “This process is painfully slow and very expensive”, he wrote on the GamesNET website.

EFNet introduces Global Glines

Saturday, February 12th, 2005

EFNet is going to implement global glines. Previously, glines were only required on the European section of this network.

The vote, called for by Hardy, calls for glines with duration times from not less then 6 hours, to a maximum of 7 days.

“If the vote is approved, all servers will be required to activate glines within a 14 day period”, the vote explains. “Failure to comply will result in the server(s) being removed from the network.”

The glines were accepted with 10 no, and 18 yes votes.

Cookie.*’s delink draining Sorcery?

Thursday, February 10th, 2005

Word got to IRC-Junkie about the delink one of the last 2 client servers on Sorcery. This leaves the network now with 1 client server, 1 backup server and services, all being run from the same location.

Cookie.*’s admin announced the delink himself: “As of March 1, 2005, cookie.sorcery.net will be delinking. I’ve had a good time the 5 years I’ve been here. I’ve watched the network grow from a small one of about 12 users to a large one (in my estimation) or 5000 users. [...] I know that I am not able to add the value that this network needs, and ‘m finding my attention drifting to other pursuits, so a graceful goodbye is in order, I believe.”
