New Chat Widget - 11/26/2008 - Posted by ThiefMaster

Since today we have something new for those of you who do not use a real IRC client or like to connect to GameSurge from school or work:
The mibbit IRC widget which replaces the Java applet on http://www.gamesurge.net/chat allows you to connect to GameSurge without using any ports but the regular http port (80) which is open almost everywhere. Just in case you prefer the Java applet, it is still available at http://www.gamesurge.net/javachat.

For those who want to add the widget to their website: either you can link the one on the GameSurge site and pass channels via the URL (/chat/CHANNELNAME; e.g. /chat/gamesurge for #gamesurge or /chat/CHANNELNAME/DEFAULTNICKNAME) or you can embed the mibbit widget on your site. In this case you should set the server to webirc.gamesurge.net:6007 so people connect with their real IP (otherwise they might get glined for excessive connections).

Channel registration - 04/20/2007 - Posted by pb

With the overwhelming success of our web-based channel registration system and the availability of agents in #support, GameSurge will be closing down the #registration channel on Monday, April 23rd, 2007. Don't fret, however, as you can still utilize the #support channel to register channels while on IRC, and of course our web-based channel registration system isn't going anywhere.

Two New Servers - 04/09/2007 - Posted by feigling

Two new servers joined GameSurge by successfully passing their testlink. Please welcome Aim2Game.TX.US.GameSurge.net administered by Jaimy and Gameservers.NJ.US.GameSurge.net administered by davenpro. Please welcome these two servers and administrators to our network.
