Spring Clean

The WyldRyde IRC network has undergone a spring clean! This has involved major re-routing of servers, removal of some unstable servers and an overhaul of the zone file. A regular backup of services has also been created so it can be run during services maintenance. The work is now complete and we hope that this [...]

Stability improvements completed

Normally, routing issues like these are corrected by the data center and/or peer and connectivity providers within a few weeks. However since the [...]

New Swedish Server

WyldRyde is pleased to welcome Phoenix, the latest server to the network. This server, donated by Pierce, is located in Malmö, Sweden and helps to spread WyldRyde’s servers even further across the globe in order to give you the best IRC experience possible. The server can be accessed directly at phoenix.wyldryde.org. If you have any [...]

Services Upgrades

We have recently upgraded WyldRyde’s services to Anope 1.8.0. If you notice any problems with this, let us know. We are especially keen for you to report problems with the fantasy (!commands) features as we are closely involved with testing the module for the author.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from all of us at WyldRyde to you and yours and best of wishes for the New Year! Thank you for being a part of our community! Please enjoy the Holidays responsibly: Don’t drink and drive or drunk IRC.
