As you probably have already noticed we have recently given a new look to our website. The old one was looking very old and tired. We have also added a few minor features, like an RSS and Atom feed for the latest news.

If you find any bugs or anything missing in the new site please let me know.

As always, comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

We have recently merged with the Furion IRC network. A big thanks to all involved and an even bigger welcome to our new staff members and more importantly, users. We hope you are all happy here on Atrum and if you have any questions or complaints (or compliments), please don't hesitate to let us know.

At the same time we have dropped a few policies previously in effect, most notably our bot rules. You are now welcome to bring any bot you like onto the network without having to obtain permission first, you also do not need to keep the bot in #bots. Please see the updated bots page for further information.

Do you like to party ? Of course you do! Why not join us for the Atrum.org XMAS Party at Franki Bananaz, Midrand!

We finally get our website off the ground and up on the net. Should you find any errors, or wish to make any suggestions, please send them through to wiqd @ atrum.org or contact wiqd on the network.

Blackforest joins the network along with three of their IRC operators who have many years experience in administrating a large scale IRC network. We welcomed Bugzy and RubberDuck on to the network administration team and are sure that we will have a prosperous relationship with them and their chatters from #blackforest.
