Happy New Year!

With all of the year-in-review media out there, I started to think about how are year has been and what we are going to do in 2010!

Last year (2009) we:

• Launched WebbyChat! - Just to get to this point it took us about 2 years of thinking, testing, planning, and funding.
• Hosted over 1000 simultaneous users! - There were bumps along the road, but Crickey's powered through.
• Got Hacked! - We were down for less than a day, thanks to a Brazilian having fun with a DNS attack. We learned how to defend ourselves better and take precautions for the future.
• Upgraded to Version 2.0! - This took several months to complete, but we were able to add: Profiles, Avatars, New Powers, 50% faster loading, and a Robust system that can expand to meet the needs of all users reliably.
• Q&A Testing! - Development and testing began to enable the webbychat bar to become the most intuitive way to ask and answer questions. Dare I say it, its an floating forum!

Next year (2010) we will:

• Release the new Q&A/Floating forum! - This will allow our users to access the wisdom of their peers quickly and easily even when nobody is around.
  
• Integrate our users! - The thing Webbychat does best is to allow end users the chance to connect over things they love.
  
• Add some cool new powers! - Sounds, sharing, games, trophies, and more!
• Surprises! - Let's just say we can't tell you everything just yet, but we think you are gonna like it.

Crickeys and Samwel thank you for your support, referrals, and continued patronage in 2009 and will continue to to our utmost to make you the coolest kids on the block.

WebbyChat 2.0

Say hello to Webby Chat 2.0 BETA! With this new version we're testing out a new server system based on XMPP. As well, we have some neat new features including:

• User Avatars
  Now your visitors can create unique and fun user avatars. They can customize colors, hair styles, and more.
  
  
• New Admin Powers
  Administrators have a new system to give out powers and change room colors in real time.

Give it a shot and check out our new video on http://www.webbychat.com

Enjoy!

New Webby Back Up

The new Webby Server is back up. It crashed after a test of the auto-reconnect code and took a long time to resolve. It's back up and has been tested once again to ensure that if it needs a reset the auto-reconnect code should work. Thanks for your patience, we hope those of you beta testing the new Webby are mostly pleased.

We will be rolling out the new version to select sites over the next week, stay tuned!

Hello Ya'll

Sorry for the inconvenience... the new chat will be back shortly!

Server Reboot

Server has been restarted to prepare for ON night.
