There is usually members online each night playing Call of Duty World at War, if it interests any of you.

Otherwise I will be putting together another schedule for us to play and hopefully including some of the new games coming out.

Ok I just wanted to bring this topic back to life and let members know that the clan is not over with, not by a long shot :)

I've been busy with quite a lot of stuff, but I've been in talks with Sethos and we have some new ideas in the works and I have a few others I may try to introduce. This Tuesday coming will be the end of my exams, so I plan to post the changes later in the day.

I really want this clan to work and stick for Neowin and will definitely not see it fail so easily :p

anyone have their waw game save just disappear? I beat the game on hardened then the next day i loaded on waw and it was gone and i needed to start from the 1st level. The game save is on the hard drive since i can browse to it in system settings but i cant load it. Very very frustrating especially when they didn't have zombie mode unlocked for everyone. I wasn't about to sit through that game again.

Ok, this is just a brief update to the changes until I have more time to update the original post..

First big change we are making is the introduction of PS3 games (Y) We are taking the clan to the PS3 for the launch of KillZone 2 in Febuary. Without a doubt it's going to be a huge title and the game supports clans, its only natural with some of the members of INS being PS3 owners we would do this. As for other games on the PS3, it will really depend on the popularity of them vs the 360 counter parts when it comes to multi-platform titles. I know for myself I'll still be buying the 360 when given the choice, others might be different. Hopefully we have enough members on both sides who can carry the clan when myself or Sethos aren't there (Y)

Next big change, we are doing away with the schedule. It is far too much trouble to fit in the games people like and then on specific days. There wasn't much feedback given in regards to the first schedule to change/update it to people's liking. We have managed fine so far to play as a clan without regular updates, and with the invite system on the 360, its much quicker and easier to arrange games.

We still want members to play regularly, but we are doing away with the strictness and hopefully the removal of the schedule will help encourage people to join. All they need to do is add us on XBL/PSN/Playfire and join us if they see us in a game (Y)

I'll probably ask a mod to move the topic to the Gamers Hangout as KZ2 approaches. In the mean time I'll be going over some of the smaller changes and refine the "rules" with Sethos :)

For any PS3 owners who haven't signed up (I know there was some interest earlier in the topic), sign up here.

Alright, I give up trying to join the clan on Playfire :p Every time I request membership it gives me a 404. Can one of the clan admins add me manually (username on Playfire is DuffMan)?

Also, anyone up for some GoW2 Horde? In a private party so we don't spend hours looking for other games, of course. I'm online now if anybody is interested.

I'm gonna be doing the five flashback maps tonight - Rounds 1 - 10 on Horde for the new achivement if anyone is interested, and if I get those done possibly some annex on the five flashback maps. Just so you know I am a ###### and your assistance will help feed my achievement addiction! :)

    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
