| Upcoming upgrade and short downtime -- IMPORTANT! | Posted by w00t on Sat 16th Jan 10 |
Dear ChatSpike,
As you may know - we were recently looking for a new server name.
This is because we are preparing some software and structural changes to the network - nothing too noticeable.
Tomorrow, at 4PM GMT, we will be restarting the whole network for a number of software upgrades. Estimated downtime is minimal, but let's say 15 minutes just to be safe. When we come back up, we will have a number of new features available, including the ability to mute individual problematic users within your channel, restrict colours to specific users on a channel, and other more fine grained access controls. We will be introducing the "new" bender.chatspike.net to the network at the same time.
Should you wish to preview the 'new' network, connect to irc.chatspike.net on port 16667. A copy of Services is running, but any changes you make will not exist on the live network, and will not last beyond tonight.
Questions, comments, and discussion to #chatspike as always!
Thanks!

| Communities (and website additions!) | Posted by w00t on Wed 12th Aug 09 |
First, the important news: we're looking to modernise and update the text on our front page - and as a community driven network, the text is about *you* - our communities. If you have a community hosted by us that you would like mentioned on the ChatSpike website, please reply to this newspost with a bit of information about your community, what it is, and what channel you're in.

In other news, the website homepage (go over to http://www.chatspike.net/ and take a look) now has a newsfeed of all the happenings on the network. We will add RSS to this eventually, and the position is also not final (we're thinking of making it a ticker.)
Images post on the gallery were also added to the list of 'things that spam #chatspike', so if you're interested in nosing around what people look like, pop into #chatspike and keep an eye out. We don't bite.
(You may now also register your nickname on here, but I doubt any of you lot need that.)
Keep your eyes open for more changes!
