<h2>[Mobile & widescreen support]</h2><h4>[Friday, January 31st, 2025]</h4>
<hrsize="1"noshade>
<p>After a long battle with spaghetti code, we finally managed to make our website have the <b>"Responsive Web Design".</b> Now you can view this website on your phone without having to turn on the <b>Desktop mode!</b><br>
<spanid="smoltext">The websites content has also been adjusted for more comfortable content viewing on widescreen resolutions.</p>

<p>We moved the top bar navigation to the side, so everything is in one place & we also finished our <ahref="donate.html"id="adless"style="color:white; text-decoration: none;"><b>donation</b></a> page so if you want to pitch in a euro or two, now you can.</p>
<p>We moved all the patch notes from our Discord server to here, so if you're curious about our history & progression, you can check it out <ahref="patchnotes.html"id="adless"style="color: white; text-decoration: none;"><b>here!</b></a><br>
<spanid="smoltext">I think there are some new patch notes from today!</span></p>
<p>This website's code is now open source & you can check it out at <ahref="https://git.x1b.dev/waterjones/y2k.website"id="adless"style="text-decoration: none; color: white;"><b>git.x1b.dev!</b></a><br>
<spanid="smoltext">Contributions for making our website more optimized are welcome as well.</p>
<p>We have moved from <b>quakenet.org</b> to <b>oftc.net</b> for our IRC chatroom.<br>
<spanid="smoltext">You can use the <bstyle="color:grey;">/connect irc.oft.net</b> command to connect to the server and <bstyle="color:grey;">/join #y2k.cs</b> command to join our chatroom on your prefered IRC client. Or you can simply use the built-in qwebirc interface on our <ahref="irc.html"id="adless">IRC</a> page.</p>
<p>We're also happy to announce that you can now find us on <ahref="https://wiby.org/"id="adless"style="color: white; text-decoration: none"><b>wiby.org!</b></a> So from now on, we will have a cool looking wiby.org badge at the bottom of our site with plenty of other late 90's inspired badges.<br>
<spanid="smoltext">For those who are unaware, this search engine indexes old look-alike webpages with simple html code but you can also <ahref="https://wiby.org/submit/"id="adless">submit</a> your own page on their search engine which is what we did. Didn't expect us to actually turn up on their search engine so that's pretty awesome!</span></p>
<h2>[Website changes]</h2><h4>[Friday, January 24th, 2025]</h4>
<hrsize="1"noshade>
<p>After a few days of work, we have improved our website. We have added a few new pages that you can go & visit if you're interested. We also applied lots of changes so lets get started!</p>
<p>Instead of having only the right side panel that's displaying our newest discord members, we now also have a left side panel displaying a simple site nagivation & communication. The left side panel is present on all pages. We also made the right side panel show the best three <b>#Deathmatch</b>&<b>#Classic</b> players.<br><spanid="smoltext">Considering this page is static & that everything is being updated by hand, the information on the right side panel might not always be correct.</p>
<p>We have a screenshot gallery now! You can send your own screenshots to our <ahref="mailto:y2k.cs@proton.me"id="adless"style="color:white;">email.</a> The screenshots can be both hilarious & boastful, tho toxic ones won't be appreciated.<br><spanid="smoltext">We would highly appreciate if the screenshots were taken in an aspect ratio of 4:3. Any screenshots that were taken in any other aspect ratio will be automatically dismissed unless the screenshots are stretched but retain 4:3 aspect ratio after editing.</span></a>
<p>We have "integrated" an IRC webchat into our website. Now you can chat with your friends the old fashioned way! If you're interested in using a standalone IRC client, we highly recommend checking out <ahref="https://pidgin.im/"id="adless"style="color:white;"target="_blank">Pidgin!</a><br><spanid="smoltext"> Pidgin is only compatible on Windows & Linux. If you're using MacOS, there's <ahref="https://adium.im/"id="adless"target="_blank">Adium</a>.</span></p>
<p>We have a <b>Guestbook!</b><br>
Now you can leave a comment regarding this website, our commmunity, our servers or just say hi!<br><spanid="smoltext"> Bad actors will get their comments deleted & probably banned from commenting on the guestbook.</p>
<p> The fonts on our website have changed from a default user font to a web safe font. This was done in order to make our site have a more overall consistent look on all web browsers & to accommodate for resolutions of the past. Here's the first example:</p>
<figure>
<imgsrc="example1.png"alt="First Example"class="clickable-image"title="You can click & hold on the image to make it bigger.">
<figcaption>The default font on my system is "Trebuchet MS" at the size of twelve pixels so the text is a bit too big for this resolution.<br>
<spanid="smoltext">Screenshot taken at 800x600 resolution.
</span>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>By changing to a smaller font, we not only made the website load properly on a lower resolution, but we also managed to make the site look more closer to the era of the 2000's:</p>
<figure>
<imgsrc="example2.png"alt="Second Example"class="clickable-image"title="You can click & hold on the image to make it bigger.">
<figcaption>Now everything fits perfectly.<br>
<spanid="smoltext">Screenshot taken at 800x600 resolution.
</span>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<pid="smoltext">Even tho the fonts should be persistent on all web browsers & operating systems, there could be a small chance of it not being rendered correctly.</p>
<p>That should wrap up this post. If you have any burning questions, you can always leave us an <ahref="mailto:y2k.cs@proton.me"id="adless"style="color:white;">email</a>. Hope to see you all on our servers!<br>
<h2>[Full Release]</h2><h4>[Friday, January 17th, 2025]</h4>
<hrsize="1"noshade>
<p>Finally, after a little over a year of ups and downs, we finally got a full release! We got both <b>#Deathmatch</b>&<b>#Classic</b> servers working 24/7 & we got a website working too which you're viewing at this very moment! Everything is finally falling into it's place.</p>
<p> We did a lot of changes with this release - mostly making our servers as vanilla as possible. We removed a <b>LOT</b> of maps, only keeping the default ones while adding a few more popular community made ones. You can now check the current map list in the top bar. We also removed unused in-game commands such as <b>/rs</b>! And for those who played here while the servers were in testing phase might remember music playing when joining in. That has also been removed for the foreseeable future. Overall a massive overhaul!</p>
<p> We're finally moving into the right direction & We cannot wait to see you all playing on our servers!<br>
