New IRC Op and Server! Welcome tomkap!

KittyKatt — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:19:46 -0500

We would like to welcome to our IRC Operators team, tomkap! Please give a warm welcome to him. :D

And with him we have added a new server to the network: infernus.silverirc.com. This is tomkap's server and has been added to the round robin for irc.silverirc.com. You can connect to the server in X-Chat by using /server infernus.silverirc.com 6667 or /newserver infernus.silverirc.com 6667.

Once again, please welcome tomkap to the crew here at SilverIRC!

GIT: New README Functionality!

KittyKatt — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 22:47:51 -0600

So, today I was looking around SilverIRC's GIT repository and I really wanted to have the "ReadMe" functionality that places like GitHub have. So, I did some research, hacked some code, and voila! I got it!

If you're hosting a project on our public GIT repository, you may now include a README file in your top directory. This README file must be properly formated Markdown to be displayed correctly (see this if you don't know the proper syntax). If everything goes right, the contents of the README file will show up in a new tab labelled "about". Hope you enjoy it!

In other news, ikey has resumed development on his IRC services, so there might be some exciting news about that soon, too!

New Service: sCURL!

KittyKatt — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 22:38:38 -0600

I'm pleased to announce a new service that SilverIRC will be offering: a URL shortening service! If you don't know what that is, just go checkout tinyurl.com or bit.ly. I've just finished it earlier today and, while it still needs some work, it's fully functional as of now. Anyways, I'd like to see some use out of it, so here it is: http://scurl.tk

Have fun! :D

New Year's!

KittyKatt — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 16:41:20 -0600

Well, New Year's is finally almost here. Almost out of 2010 and into 2011. Thanks to user AndrewMC, we now have a new channel on the network dedicated to welcoming the new year: #newyears. Join the channel and help us welcome in the new year 2011 here on SilverIRC! :D

Change of Services

KittyKatt — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:22:41 -0500

Due to several issues we have had with the Atheme IRC Services package, we have officially switched back to using Anope as our IRC Services package. You may have to re-register your nick and/or any channels you had registered under your nick(s).

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

New Git Repository!

KittyKatt — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 19:02:48 -0500

Silver Systems/SilverIRC has their own Git repository now. Anyone affiliated with Silver Systems is welcome to host their project on our repository for development purposes. You can even view the repositories in your browser by navigating to http://git.silverirc.com. This is made possible by the popular gitweb interface.

Happy developing!

Happy Birthday Xisdibik!

KittyKatt — Sun, 16 May 2010 23:41:01 -0500

Oh my gosh! It's Xisdibik's birthday! He's 25 years old today. So you all should drop by and wish him happy birthday. And give him a present. I'm sure he would appreciate a million dollar donation in the mail. Why don't you get on that instead of sitting here reading this?

Mibbit / external chat

Originally posted by ArcherSeven:

Mibbit and similar sites, though useful, provide some level of problems for IRCops, that can be handled, but the easier method is to simply not allow them.

I'd like some input, what do users think about Mibbit and similar, and considering we have our own IRC client, is there any reason not to just ban them?
