Obviously that was a lame attempt at an April Fool’s joke >:)
Naturally IRC-Junkie wasn’t the only one attempting:
InspIRCd announced The WOW Starts Now! The project would turn commercial with paid version ranging from Home Basic to Commercial. A free version named Basic would remain available. W00t explained: “It will continue to be available free for those of the world who cannot afford to pay for licencing. It includes an executable file built for redhat 5.1 on the 286 architecture with egcs 1.0 which may or may not work. YMMV.”

OK I know, this headline is one you’ve seen a few times before the past few months. In my rush to get phpBB out of the door I’ve probably took less time with the way things looked then I should have.
As you can see I changed back the graphics and color scheme of the old site (please shift-refresh if you don’t). I got quite a few messages of people preferring the old color scheme after the change, so I hope this fixes the way things look for a lot of people who expressed their discontent with the “neon look”.

Starting this month, the IRC-Junkie Daily will be available to subscribers.
Many changes for IRC-Junkie over the past period, and all have been planned for the next major change in service for its visitors: the move to a newspaper edition.
The new design had to be pushed through in order to make it possible for a consistent housestyle with the paper edition, which is available from now on. The previous design with black background would have cost too much ink, making subscription cost above threshold, which was set at just $9,99USD per month.
Interested visitors can subscribe here.

The QuakeNet IRC network did a major overhaul of its major channel service Q.
“As many of you have noticed we’ve just upgraded our main channel service, Q, to a new version,” meeb announced on the QuakeNet website.
The upgrade consists of a complete rewrite of the bot and includes all old functionality and adds some new ones. Channels who previously used L have been upgraded to the new Q as well.
Bot response messages to commands have been changed. IRC-Junkie tried to ask QuakeNet whether problems have risen with scripts depending on these messages but we have had no reply.

“After a long time with development snapshots only (due to lack of importance given to producing a release tagged as stable), KVIrc has just released version 3.4″, user Elephantman tipped IRC-Junkie.
“This one took a very long time but, well, finally it’s here” the KVIrc development team announced on their homepage.
Some of the changed highlighted on the announcement:
* improved themeing support
* better desktop integration
* nicer support for many different IRC servers
* a totally revised option layout
* basic support for script “addons”
* improved help subsystem
