17 Dec 2003 Well, the site is done far enough for public release!!  Check it out, and do let us know if you find anything amiss... including spelling errors, or bad links!

If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments during this renovation, please email Diamond at diamond@jetirc.net.  Thanks!!

09 Nov 2003 I know you've all been waiting for me to get around to updating the website, and I'm sad to say I never have had time even still..... However, Diamond has insisted on reviewing it anyways!  Once she finished retching into a bucket after seeing how my Attention Deficit Disorder has vomited forth the spastic colours onto the pages of this site, she declared that the renovations were to begin NOW.

To that end, we'll be quietly working away on the website, while Diamond slaps my hands and checks the pages after me, to ensure the site colours are safe for human consumption.  We hope to have some new looks for you in the coming weeks and months, and we'll be reviewing and updating all the printed content on the site as well -- help pages and such.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments during this renovation, please email Diamond at diamond@jetirc.net.  Thanks!!

07 Jul 2003 Finally Updated the Website!!  After many months, I have finally had time to sit down and massively update the website.  Most of what has been done as of today is structural and aesthetic updates, removal of no-longer-used information, and general cleanup.  Some areas will still be out-of-date, such as the staff lists.  The help areas are mostly current, though there may be a few incorrect bits -- I will not be updating those until after next month.  The IRCop and Helper areas have been given a much-needed re-tooling.   Please report any problems, errors, or comments to the Saturn, using this form, or by email to saturn@jetirc.net.
30 Jun 2003 Upgraded to Unreal version 3.1.6  We are now running the latest in the 3.1.x series of Unreal IRC Server.  This version is primarily a bugfix version to prevent an exploit recently discovered in 3.1.5.1 that allowed any user to crash out the server based on a rather obscure command sequence.  Please report any problems to the abuse team, using this form.
21 Jan 2003 Upgraded to Unreal version 3.1.5.1  We are now running the latest in the 3.1.x series of Unreal IRC Server.  There are a few changes to how it behaves for IRCops, the biggest of which is that IRCops can no longer accidentally ban-walk.  Once they are banned from a channel, they must /invite themselves to that channel in order to beat the ban.  This means they will only ban walk in an emergency, and there should be no more abuse problems with Opers violating bans -- all banwalks are now logged by the system.  Additionally, all IRCops now have the oper flag v in their O:Line.  This is what allows them to /invite themselves to a banned channel, and also what allows them to force mode +o +v, etc for themselves when they do not own the channel -- these forced modes are also logged by the system now.  Any IRCops who are found guilty of abuse of banwalking or mode forcing without just cause, will simply lose their v oper flag.  Please report any problems to the abuse team, using this form.
21 Jan 2003 New server! Welcome Bucharest.jetirc.net to the Network!  Bucharest server is owned and operated by Colt_alb, out of Bucharest, Romania.  Welcome to JetIRC!!!
11 Dec 2002 Welcome back Spyderweb.JetIRC.net !!  Spyder has returned and his server is all fixed.  Welcome back Spyder man!
01 Dec 2002 Clopin will be taking over major web updates and general maintenance.  Saturn will still have a hand in there, but is working too much to effectively keep the website up to date (as you may have noticed).  Clopin has agreed to help out by handling all the details for us.  Thank you to Clopin!
16 Oct 2002 We're saddened to announce that SmOkEe will no longer be a part of the JetIRC network due to a difference in opinion on operating methods.  We thank SmOkEe for all that he's done for and with the network and wish him the best in the future!
11 Aug 2002 We are abandoning the #services channel, and migrating to a more fitting channel name: #JetIRC ... Please be sure to change any logon scripts. =)
24 Jun 2002 Services updates have been coming fast and furious with little bug fixes along the way.  So far they have proven very stable, and reliable.  However, if you ever notice anything strange going on, or what you think is incorrect action for services in your channel (allowing a person to remain Opped after a netsplit, when they shouldn't be, etc) then please contact Saturn right away, so he can report the bug (if it is one), or explain why it did what it did, if that's what it was supposed to do. =)
27 May 2002 New Services! A little sooner than expected, we now have IRCServices version 5 beta!  TONS of new features, too!  We have a web page, here, which discusses the new features.  Please take a second to look at it as soon as possible, as some new features could have direct impact on you.

In addition, the Services help files are all updated.  Click here to see.

23 May 2002 Website repaired! Due to some server errors, the website went down, but we've managed to get it back up and running better than ever!
21 May 2002 Logo Contest Winner! Congratulations to Magnum for his winning logo entry.  As contest winner, Magnum will receive a nice T-shirt with his winning logo printed on it!  To see all the entries, click here.
14 May 2002 New server! Welcome DatoHosting.jetirc.net to the Network!  DatoHosting is owned and operated by ULtimaTe_, who lives in Belgium.  The server, however, is located in New York.  Welcome to JetIRC!!!
12 May 2002 Nick Change! Well, once again, Amethyst has grown weary of her nick, and asked me to let it be known that she's now going by Diamond.
26 Apr 2002 New server! Welcome Thor.jetirc.net to the Network!  Thor is owned and operated by Magnum, out of Florida.  Welcome to JetIRC!!!
02 Apr 2002 New Module: LoveServ.  You can feel free to play with it all you like, simply access them using /MSG LoveServ HELP
  • LoveServ allows you to send a friendly gesture to another user
21 Mar 2002 Whoops! Due to the fact that the operators of lopes.jetirc.net could not find the time to do the required IRCop training and testing, as is required of all new server owners, that server has been delinked from the network.  Any users connecting to that address will be redirected to one of the other servers on the network.  We're very sorry to see them go, but it's the only way we can maintain the high quality of staff on the network.
09 Mar 2002 We have not heard from MadCow in quite a while, and now we know why...  Do to differences in opinion, MadCow and his server will not be returning.
26 Feb 2002 Notice anything different?  The Network has changed to a new, more ...comprehensible name:  JetIRC
