My Resignation.

August 26th, 2010

Hey Guys!

Well alot of you know I have been really busy with real life at the moment and I’ve felt it’s unfair to let the network suffer. So I have removed myself as Network Administrator and promoted Bertrum as co-network admin with Smith.

Every time I have left before it’s always been on a sour note and I’ve remained intrested in IRC. This time I’m leaving on a good note and my interest in IRC has faded. Also with me moving universities I really need to focus next year to get myself sorted, and as you all know student life can be pretty hectic :) .

I would like to thank some of the amazing friends I have met via IRC and some of you I will never forget as you proved to me some valuable lessons can be learnt online.

What about NixtrixIRC?
NixtrixIRC will remain intact but with new management and fresh idea’s. I might pop in now and then but my days of running shit are completely over.

I wish you all the best with your lives and the friends I hold close will always have my facebook :) .

Terms of Service Update…

August 7th, 2010

Hello,

Due to the expanding userbase and the tired terms of service, We have decided to update it as IRC is ever changing.  There are several edits and a change on our attitutde towards COPPA,  whilst also security edits to ensure YOUR safety whilst connected to NixtrixIRC.

Our Terms of Service does not restrict you our the way you use our network in anyway but it’s in place for the staff to help protect our users agains malicious attacks and people taking the piss out of the service we provide.

Regaring COPPA, this was something I myself personally thought long and deep on.. I wanted NixtrixIRC to become a network that stood from others for it’s professionalism yet a great palce to hang out to. This is why I decided to stop supporting this legislation as we feel it is not needed and just adds more problems for the network. People who know me personally will know I take a strong role within the network so I’m always around to PM if you have a problem…

This leads onto my next point, No way are NixtrixIRC responsible for what you view on our networks. We’re here to provide a service but we can’t always control what you view. So keep the lawsuits to yourselves =).

You can view the new TOS whilst connected to the network by typing /rules or visiting www.nixtrixirc.net/rules.

Remember our TOS is here to help NOT restrict your experience. If you would like to contact me personally please visit #help on the network or email me on admin@nixtrixirc.net.

Want to link? Then come speak to us!

August 5th, 2010

That’s right!

We’ve decided to open our linking application process to anyone! We’re looking for a few decent links and staff that want to help the network grow and thrive more than it currently is now.

We have a few guidelines but still if you pass them then hop on at irc.nixtrixirc.net #help and contact Nixtrix.

Linking Guidelines;
- No Shells. VPS or Dedicated Server only.
- We ask you use our domain *.nixtrixirc.net (This can be worked on if a decent userbase is on linking server)
- Our services & stats remain – This is due to the configuration and modules that are specificly designed for NixtrixIRC.
- Around 15+ users.
- Willing to become an admin; until trail ends. (Again can be changed depending on userbase)
- Oper experience… (No i don’t want another noob.. I have enough (Bertrum)).

If you think these fit you perfectly then come and find us!

We hope to hear you soon :)

Welcome Game-Proz.tx.us.nixtrixirc.net!

July 29th, 2010

Well,

I’d like to welcome Game-Proz.* and it’s staff Teckie and jennitals to the network! Their sever passed our linking guidelines and after a mildly heated discussion between Smith, Betrum and I they’re finally linked! The link brings new users to the network that you can check out in #Game-Proz and feel free to ask jennitals for nakies. She becomes our latetest network bike… but be aware… she’s only a 5 :( Of course if you prefer naked pictures of men I’ll happily provide naked pictures of myself, but you’ll need a big screen to fit me in.

Joking aside (except the big screen bit), I’m really glad they decided to link with us and I would like you to join me in saying this link remains for a long time :) . You can connect on their server via game-proz.nixtrixirc.net or irc.game-proz.com.

July Updates

July 24th, 2010

Hey Guys!

Well alot’s been going on at the moment so time to fill you guys on!

Staff Changes

Well it’s offical; Smith, the asshole of the network has somehow manged to get Network Administrator status. I’m joking really, he’s put alot of hard work into the network and I believe the time was right to point another NA other than myself. (I’m getting sick of people only bitching at me.) He will lead the technical aspect of the network whilst I mainly focus on the staff/user aspect of the network.

Our very own Tappy; Who was originally a global of Triforce.tx.us.* for sometime has also recived an oper upgrade, He now runs his own server and getting more involved with network operations as well as mainting this site. This was long due and would like to congratulate him on his upgrade. :)

Triforce.tx.us.* Delink

Well this may be old news but I really need to make it offical, after months of stability issues we had no choice but to delink our main US server Triforce.tx.us.nixtrixirc.net and replace it with a new server. This was a sad day for the network as Triforce has been around since basiclly NixtrixIRC started we’re sorry to see it go but we decided it was for the best.

Bandicoot.ca.us.* Link and Paradox.uk.eu.* Rename

We welcome Bandicoot.ca.us.* onto the network which replaces our old US server Triforce.tx.us.*, our very own Tappy has agreed to take control of this new server and keep it maintained whilst linked to the network. The new server is located in California, USA so try it out and tell him what you think.

Paradox.uk.eu.* has been renamed to Conflict.uk.eu.* this is due to an agreement between ConflictIRC’s owner (Serph) and me for ConflictIRC’s users to use NixtrixIRC servers. As we’re trying to streamline the network routing it was agreed it would be better for ConflictIRC’s users to have access to an EU and US server.

Record Stability
Well we’re finally doing it, Stability is at an all time high on the network.. With the new server links and changes we’ve made netsplits are a thing of the past. No more worries and floods of channel modes and user joins. All I can do is hope and maintain a secure and stable network that allows people to just relax and chat.
