If you've noticed lately the forums have been getting thrashed by some nasty spam. I've completed coding some basic countermeasures that should catch ~95% of it now, and will make it easy to flag down later. If you have any issues with it flagging your posts incorrectly, let me know.

Please give a round of applause for the users who stepped up to be moderators who stepped up to the plate in the war against bots.

Freecast is still alive and well and we're having a blast providing free shoutcast hosting for all. Thanks again to everyone that makes this site rock. Also thanks to wavestreaming.com for providing our shoutcast hosting.

Peace

We've had a couple of users report that they're having problems with their credits not being reset at the end of the week. We're checking this out now, but if you are having this issues, please just let us know in the comments section of this news post and we'll fix it up for your account individually until we track down the real problem. Thanks -Dom

OK guys, I decided to try out a new java-based IRC client. I put this up in addition to the existing IRC stuff we already have, but check this out and let me know if you like it.

So check it out, let me know if you like it: http://freecast.co.uk/irc/beta/

Greetings all, Dom here again and back so soon.

I've added (though, more like enabled) a new feature to the site: An embedded flash player for Freecast. If you click the new link on the left hand side that says 'Listen Now (Flash)' it will pull up wavestreaming's nifty flash player app. Feel free to link this player in to your site, just copy the link location or the HTML. I'll post more detailed instructions on how to do this soon, or if anyone wants to write a quick guide and post it on the forums that would be very helpful.

Let me know how that works for you!
-Dom
