It's come to my attention over the weekend that Norton Safe Web is listing UGN Security as a threat in their database due to our port forwarding application (listing it as a trojan); I can assure you that this is not a trojan, but have also opted to remove the file from our database at this time.
We've submitted a re-evaluation of the site and hope to pass within the next few days.

I'm creating this topic to keep track of some of the updates being made to the site during our Spring Clean.
2010.02.26 - Recommended Reading: The system was finally completed and data populated.
2010.02.27 - Links: Maintenance of this section has always been a pain due to how we track outgoing links; the system is now fully worked into our admin panel to aid in maintenance. The system itself works as it has since the last update to the system.
2010.02.28 - File Sharing: The File Sharing system has been completely reworked, both on the backend and frontend. We can now manage things in the admin panel so db diving isn't a thing we'll have to do with this system. The front end ended up with an early morning reworking as it got hosed :P.
2010.03.09 - Caching, RSS, and Staff!: We made some critical updates to the Caching mechanism that we wrote last year, it seems that the RSS feeds we compile for sitemaps in the backend where croaking... This update allowed some cleanup time for the coding. The Staff System was also rewritten completely.
We have several backends which where never completed when the front end was worked on it's my hope to have these out of the way in March 2010 where time permits.
I am at this time not planning to add any new systems, I believe these should be held off until the Summer 2010 season and I'm currently focusing on finalizing current systems in place.
We will be working on a revamped application/jobs system, in the time being if you'd like to help, any user can populate the new systems (on the main page see the "Submit" section); this will allow users to in essence make the site theirs!

Some time ago a project arose, it was Required Reading for Newbies; one of many projects that begun here at UGN Security over the years.
The goal of this project was to provide users with articles which would be beneficial to furthering their knowledge in many areas (computing, telecommunications, electronics, etc).
It's been some time since that project has existed, but we still respect all of the hard work of that project, and today we bring that one step further.
I'm happy to announce that the Recommended Reading section of the main page that was thrown into existence earlier in the year is getting some much needed love. I've been working hard and long to finish up the system and start populating new content to it.
At the time being you can just see a simple description and link to amazon; but in the future you'll be able to locate the book(s) on numerous online retailers via its ISBN tag.
We're also planning to have an image of the book(s) beside their listing as well as some other little additions (stay tuned for our Summer Code announcements coming in a few weeks).
For the time being, if you have a couple of books you'd like to recommend, just let us know! You can always Submit a Book (since the site is built around YOU, you can always help by submitting content!).

I am in the process of doing some spring cleaning currently as some issues have arose...
On some pages when submitting an invalid captcha response you'll be presented with a blank page versus a proper error message; I'm not entirely sure what's causing said behavior, but I anticipate a fix shortly.
I'll be going through the error logs and checking various settings to see if there are any other cleanup tasks to be had.
I'm also planning to preform several service upgrades as well, but these shouldn't effect performance much (if at all).

Starting April 1st (and no, this isn't an April Fools joke) we will be migrating our IRC Servers from the current dedicated solution to using alternative servers.
We're currently looking towards using FreeNode to host our channel (among various other channels on the server). If you have a populated channel (which there are only a few) we will sign up a channel for you on the new server using your current channel password.
You won't have to worry about any changes, we'll be changing our dns records on irc.undergroundnews.net (which controls both the .com and .org) to cname to freenode's round robin address so you'll automatically connect there when the time comes.
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel more than free to post them here.
