Finally. Non-Profit License Registration is now availble for TeamSpeak3!
Originaly on the website it says:

Non-profit entities include but are not limited to organizations such as online gaming clans, guilds, or friends and family who utilize TeamSpeak software in a manner in which profit or gain of any kind is NOT the principal purpose for registration.”

They announced that the website will return once the traffic settles down.
I’ve installed a testserver on devnode.net. Works great till now..

Last night at 3:00AM the clocks were changed back from GMT+1 to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). So we got Wintertime (Defaultime) again and everyone in this timezone could get an hour more sleep. The clocks changing is always at the last Sunday of October.
This timelaw exists since 25th of Juli 1978.

Icefyre didnt do any good on the test-phase so the server got delinked again. Maybe just another lesson for myself. heh. After spending _days_ of compiling and configuring the ircd, merging databases and stuff like that, the Icefyre IRCd died because of excessive memory problems. Shortly after we turned all servers into temporary stable UnrealIRCd’s (to keep everything online) Jon came online with a bad mood, got pissed and talked about delinking. Actually I was told that those servers were rootserver but it looks pretty much like vservers. So I think in this case it was the best solution we could find.

Shit happens!

Everyone welcome Icefyre. They linked their 2 servers (hex.devnode.net and icefyre.devnode.net) to the /dev/node IRC Network. Lets see how they will run in the testphase..
