We thank you beforehand for your comprehension, The IRCHighWay Staff. Mon, 03 May 2010 15:11:18 -0400 http://www.irchighway.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=890 The network default session (clone) limit is now 4 (raised from 3), this allows you to have up to 4 active connections at once. Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:31:37 -0500 http://www.irchighway.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=889 Everyone please welcome Jade to the IRCHighway IRCop family. Her home server will be genesis.ks.us.irchighway.net Treat her well Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:34:04 -0500 http://www.irchighway.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=888 To some, it's called Veterans Day, to others, Armistice Day, Poppy Day, and so forth. No matter what you call it, the 11th hour of the 11th month of the 11th day of each year is set aside for us to take pause, and remember those whom have fought in a war, no matter the reason, and survived to return home to those they love, and were perhaps fighting for. Again, whether you know it as Veterans Day, ANZAC day, Armistice Day is irrelevant; so long as you remember the reason why we celebrate it: To show respect to our veterans. I hope you all have a nice day.

Mibbit's privacy policy is located here, if you wish to review it yourself: http://www.mibbit.com/privacy.html The previously mentioned concerns about data collection seem to be untrue; after further investigation, we couldn't find any basis for previous claims of them logging personal info. Fri, 03 Jul 2009 05:13:59 -0400 http://www.irchighway.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=877 We want to encourage everybody to continue to participate in activities IRCHighway has for you!

We want everyone possible to attend the class in #Class. The way class works is a specific topic is taught by the Class bot, and users gather up questions about the topic. When the bot has finished speaking, a 'Questions and Answers' segment will be opened where users can ask questions and the staff of #Class will answer them. The specified topic for this class session will be "How to use #abuse" & "Getting the user ready to go (on IRC)". You can post whatever questions you may have during the class, and there is not a limit to how many questions you may submit, though there is an anti-spam feature of one question per every 30 seconds.

Beau - IRCHighWay Class Team Fri, 03 Jul 2009 05:13:42 -0400 http://www.irchighway.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=876 [New Information - Updated post!] Due to a misunderstanding, the newspost made earlier may have contained some false information, the newspost has been updated to reflect this. Mibbit is now banned due to suspected privacy issues with logging information passing through the service, including passwords. If you need a webclient, we ask that you use our client, which logs no personal information; the only logged info is the time of the request, the ip of the user, a session id, and the id of the message in the request. We are retracting some of the previous statements until more proof is found.

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 01:13:58 -0400 http://www.irchighway.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=867 We've just setup Mibbit support for the network, Mibbit users will appear with their real hostnames. Those using Mibbit widgets for their channel need to change them to connect to webchat.irchighway.net in order to take advantage of this new functionality. Anyone having problems with this new system should post in our forum and let us know. We also have a beta version of an official webchat running at http://webchat.irchighway.net/. It's currently being tested, but it's open to the public for use. (just be warned, it may be a bit buggy...) Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:36:08 -0400 http://www.irchighway.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=866 Dear users, We would like to inform you that the current netsplits as well as those which have been occuring in the past three days are due to ongoing DDoS attacks against our network. It is by now public knowledge that those attacks are, sadly, once again perpetrated by brazilian people which, in all due respect to our brazilian user base, should probably refered to as brazilian script kiddies. We are doing our best to limit the effects of those attacks. However, as you are probably very much aware, it is not a phenomenon easy to fight off. Any help, assistance or piece of information that you could provide us with, is welcome. Thank you for your patience and continuous support over the years. The IRCHighWay Staff.
