Chat.UK.EU.FlameIRC.Net had to forcibly de link it's server today after the hosting ISP did not see it adequate that the bandwidth allocated was still being used up by GLINED drone / xdcc rubbish. The server has not disappeared completely and will return to some other network under the domain of irc.hoggeh.com one day, just not ours.

It is sad to see that kiddies use xdcc, a solid reliable server has had to pull it's link, the irc scene is getting smaller and this has added to it.

Scranton.PA.us.* has delinked from the network. This now only leaves Yonkers.NY.US.FlameIRC.Net as the only American client server left.

FlameIRC even though it's newly reopened it's doors we would like to point out to users who are looking to create bigger networks to read our policies too.

It is without undeniable reason that we have issued a lot of isp related bans. We have tried all alternative's to combat the issue with xdcc bots using fake proxies, compromised computers and servers to connect to the network.

The IRCd has been changed for the *last* time now. It was a necessary move to enable us to link in a IPv6 only server. The server boasts its presence on the network on a FreeBSD platform which also a first for the network too. We hope that Freebsd will live up to it's name and maybe start seeing more of our server operating systems start switching over to freebsd. To accomplish the IPv6 server link we had to migrate to InspIRCd2.0.5 as bahamut does not contain any v6 support.

Chat.UK.EU.FlameIRC.Net will be taken down shortly to upgrade it's operating system from Debian Linux to FreeBSD. This will in effect allow for better IRC processes, memory allocation and will be the first FreeBSD linked machine on our irc network. The date will be given near to the time.

The website gained another server, no it's not a client server, its denora stats. Along with this the network statistical data is now live on this website via the stats link to the left. The website also had to undergo a shuffle with the blocks to enable us to fit the stats into the site without any missing information.
