StaticBox needs a charter!

StaticBox needs a charter! Since StaticBox is a network run by the users themselves, we encourage you to participate in our drafting process. Also, we have an IRC channel for discussing it on the network, #charter. Thanks!

Please leave any comments on the wiki, and not on this post.

How can We improve Staticbox for You?

The StaticBox network has always cared a great deal for its users. That's why we are asking you how we can improve our irc network, website and forum.

You have been dying to tell us your ideas or suggestions for either the network or website, now is your chance to share them with us. Tell us what we are doing wrong (or right) and tell us what we can do to improve the network for you.

irc.irken.org joins StaticBox

We would like to welcome our newest server: irc.irken.org to the network.

This server is administrated by Zimmy.

You can connect using the following ports:  6665-6669.

Forum up and running.

You may have noticed that there was a poll up about the choice of forum software, well it's obvious that most people like phpBB as their favorite forum.

As a result I have chosen to go with phpBB for the StaticBox forum. Go ahead and check it out. Click on Forum on the upper menu and register an account. It is pretty empty right now, but I encourage you to register and post topics.

As usual we would like to know your opinion. So feel free to post your desires and wishes in the forum (new categories, etc).

Happy New Year

The StaticBox administration wishes everyone a happy new year. We hope 2008 will be a great year for you.
So the best of luck in 2008 and a good health.

We hope everyone got home safely after the many, many, many drinks last night :)

Thanks for visiting your favorite irc network.

Check out the webchat module

We have recently installed a webchat module for our website so that our users who don't have access to mirc (work, school, etc) are still able to chat on Staticbox.

All you have to do is click on the Web Chat link in the left menu and a java window will pop up after a few moments. After that you are ready to chat on your favorite chat network.

If you should experience any problems feel free to report them here.

Round Robin changes (connection)

We are going to add 2 new records to our round robin called:

  • EU.staticbox.net
  • US.staticbox.net

When you connect to our network using either of those you will be redirected to a random EU (european) or US (american) server.

We added these records for your convenience. We know european users usually end up on an American server and vice versa. Now your latency (ping) will improve if you use the proper record to connect to StaticBox.

Shaduwfax Permlinked

We're pleased to announce that irc.schaduwfax.nl has been permanantly linked to the network, with no administrative objection during the testlink period.

Moreover, AlphaVista has returned which means irc.ixl2.org may be rejoining the network running under the cutting edge charybdis 2.2. We'll keep you posted if that happens.

Athemenet joins StaticBox

AthemeNet (the previously private IRC network of the Atheme project) has joined the network.

 You can find them in #atheme-project
