GameSurge is pleased to announce TechConnect.NL.EU.GameSurge.net has successfully passed their testlink and have been added to the network. The server is administered by Viper.

Two new servers joined GameSurge by successfully passing their testlink. Please welcome PSX.IS.EU.GameSurge.net administered by emmi and Tarius.DE.EU.GameSurge.net administered by natan. Please welcome these two servers and administrators to our network.

We apologize for the recent service interruption. Our east coast hub failed causing problems for our NY server, EU hub, and some EU links. The problems have been resolved and the network is functioning normally again. We apologize for the inconvenience.

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 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.

In the next few days, we will be upgrading the hardware on one of our west coast hubs named Largo. This will result in a short but system wide outage of channel services and server splits. There will hopefully be limited downtime. We appreciate your support.

Due to abuse, GameSurge is no longer allowing users of Tor on our network. We apologize for any inconvenience this will cause, and hope that some day we are able to restore access from the Tor service. In the mean time, feel free to directly connect and set +x.

After many months of development and testing, GameSurge is pleased to announce that our Proactive Analysis and Management Service (PAMS) project is launching today. PAMS is an integrated defensive service on the network, the purpose of which is to assist us in protecting our users from bots, trojans and exploits. This project will enable our network operators to be more proactive in dealing with threats on the network. We believe that our PAMS project will result in a more enjoyable and much safer IRC experience for our users. I want to thank feigling, pb and Entrope for their time on this project.

Congratulations to the winners of the GameSurge / Panda Software contest. View them here.
