ChatSpike - The Users Network

Welcome

 To the new and updated ChatSpike website!

Our network is a collection of many different communities, all of whom connect to chatspike to socialise, have fun, and chat. ChatSpike is the official home of (amongst other things) the DarkGalaxy official IRC channel, home of the WinBot support channel, official home of Anime-Empire, and the official home of InspIRCd, our custom made ircd package. We also host several other well-known channels such as the WarCry gaming community, and a large Trillian Channel filled with well known members of the Trillian forums.

Feel free to drop in and say hi, and get to know our varied, interesting and fun channels Cool

To find out more about what makes chatspike unique and exciting, please read the page "Why choose ChatSpike?"

We are pleased to announce the recent addition of our new security system which is wholly developed by ChatSpike staff members and is helping prevent abuse, flooding, and ban evasion. Please see the project site for details!

After a year without the megumi.* server, we have returned it to operating status on the network, bringing us back to a more healthy four client servers.

Things are looking bright for ChatSpike!

After a year, kenny.chatspike.net is back and dying quietly while people idle on him.

Great news to have the third client server back on deck :)

Network ircd upgrade
Posted by Brain on Sat 28th Jul 07 @ 6:11pm
At 5pm today, we finally upgraded from 1.1.0 of InspIRCd to 1.1.10, which has many new features and a raft of fixes.
Some of these new features include:

* User mode +d (deaf), which prevents you receiving channel messages while it is set
* Channel mode +u (auditorium), for more information see the website: http://www.inspircd.org/wiki/Modules/auditorium
* Improved bot protection, to keep annoying bots off our network

Along with these extra features, the ircds are now faster and more reliable.

With the introduction of this new server, you can expect the return of other servers to the network soon as the last of the desync bugs that were preventing this were fixed a few versions ago.

If you have any comments, please feel free to reply to this news item.

LoveServ returns!
Posted by w00t on Fri 8th Jun 07 @ 8:47pm
After a long and lengthy absense after LoveServ broke (for which we naturally blame Brain), we have now found the time to fix it, and add 'SLAP' to it's repotoire of commands!

Happy days are here again.

For those of you unfamiliar with what LoveServ is, see our Services page on it at http://www.chatspike.net/index.php?z=13 - and browse around the others (like WhoisServ) while you're there.

Suggestions, comments, flames and general lovin' to #ChatSpike on IRC

Enjoy!
