Meet the services, part 4: The rest
So, if you’re wondering what the other services are, here’s the list and the summary of their capabilities: HelpServ: Redirects to the help for other services. Exceptionally useless, but technically you *can* use it if you want to for some reason. HostServ: Manages the custom hostmasks for users. Only I (well, or the other opers, [...]
Planned upgrades to services
Since I finally located all the technical information I wanted (it only took like months) I’m going to start making upgrades to services.

durd offline, unknown ETA
Yeah apparently irc.durd.net suddenly crapped out overnight and the cause is yet unknown. Updates as they come. (No this isn’t an april fool’s thing it actually is offline) Update: Appears to have suffered severe hardware failure so this could be a while. Update 2: It dawned on me it’d be a good idea to remove [...]
