http://www.decimation.com/quickserv Windows IRC Services Tue, 15 Apr 2008 21:46:43 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I just wanted to give a quick update. I've been busy the last week so I haven't been able to do much with QuickServ.NET. I've modified some of the code that receives and parses the data to be a little quicker but nothing much more than that.

I started using MS SQL 2005, but then realized that I didn't want to make people download the large MS SQL 2005 install file and go through all that.

I discontinued the project after several years passed ... http://www.decimation.com/quickserv/2008/03/24/quickservnet-announced/
