Hello all ham radio enthusiasts of Rubi-Ka! I am happy to announce Channel42, your favourite frequency to chat on has had a few enhancements made to it.
1. Topic of the Day feature! Now whenever you sign in to Channel42 you will be greeted with a Topic of the Day message in place of the generic welcome message. The purpose of the Topic of the Day is just to stimulated conversation; it is of course just a suggested topic.
The Topic will change each day (based on old GMT). Once the current list is exhausted, it will cycle through the list again, which leads us to the next point:
We need more Topic of the Day suggestions!
If you have an idea of an interesting Topic of the Day please either /tell Dabblez , PM Savoy, or email gsoylent@hotmail.com or just post your Topic of the Day below.
If you want to make an announcement on a specific day on Channel42, let me know well advance and I’ll try to set your announcement as the Topic of the Day – I make no promises though as it’s a bit fiddly.
2. Spam reduction! We fully understand that for the busy, modern Rubi-Kan who may have to subscribe to a number of IGN frequencies, the amount of spam generated on login can become a nuisance. As such with our new look Channel42 we’ve done our best to suppress the somewhat numerous messages that the IGN-transmissions-protocol seems to generate.
3. IGN standard display and color fixes! Okay so this isn’t that exciting, but just to say with upgraded our hardware and software to the lastest IGN 183 standards.
A word of warning though. While I've had help, especially from Issildari (thanks!) apply these changes and create the Topic of the Day message, at the end of the day I made the code changes so anything can happen!
