Zenar has released his chat server.The newest version is beta 4.
You will need framework 2.0 installed to use his server.
If you don't have it installed on your PC you can download it here.
Here is the list of what I've done:

Beta #4
Rebuiled the "I'm talking" feature
Fixed a little bug on the primary part (It will also connect faster)
ZCS is now blocking illegal characters on usernames
Added a small feature to get more details when ZCS have bugs
Fixed a bug ZCS showed not the exact number of users in the channel
Fixed a little bug when sometimes the users had 65535 files...
The maximum length allowed for the rawname is now set to 50
Fixed the bug with the total downloaded datas to not get the negative values...
Fixed a little bug with the limit

This time, I've added a small feature to gather the informations when you get an unknown bug on ZCS. It will be sent to my server and that will help me to make this server better. You must know that I'm not receiving your personnal infos and here is an example of what I can get:

Bug=BUG-002=Attempted to divide by zero.
Beta #3
Fixed bug when doing a redirect... It will not show /redirect this time :-P
Fixed the problem while WPCC is sending many times the personnal message lol
Fixed a bug in the metis bug fix :-P
Added /ChannelName
Fixed the problem with the flood protection. (It blocked many chat clients / bots)
Added /BanIP
Added /KickIP
Fixed a little bug when resolving the hostname of certain hostnames
Added /Message
Added /PrivNotice
Beta #2
Fixed bug with unused ChannelName2
Fixed bug when the connection is lost, it makes ghost users...
Added client identification
Added flood protection
Added metis bug fix
Added /OnLine and /OffLine commands
The number of peers can be configured
Fixed a possible security issue with the usernames
Added /setcolor ;o)
Added ES feature to know when someone is typping a message (Working with WPCC for now)
Added WPNCaches
Protected users can modify themselves their settings (formats, access, etc...)
Fixed many minors and majors possible security problems
:cheers: Zenar. :)

Thanks Zenar for creating a great server. :)
I would've had a uptime of over a week with it by now , but my explorer crashed & closed the server.
my current uptime is 4 days since I restarted it after my explorer crashed.

ZCS v1.03 Test #1
A new test version of ZCS is available for testing. I recommend if you're using ZCS to host your chat room that you don't use it for your main chat room and that you open a test chat room if you want try it out.
V1.03 Test #1
Fixed a bug when you put nothing on ClientMSG, RenameMSG or ExitMSG (It will show nothing instead of the default message)
Fixed a mistake with the rename part... I forgot to add a feature to improve the security
Added Include - You can now use include= to split your configs into many files. That makes your life a little easier ;o)
Added SameIPMSG - ZCS tells you if someone else enter with a same IP
Changed ReplaceWord for ReplaceALL
Added ReplaceWord
Changed access letters for (RenameMSG = e) (ExitMSG = X) (SameIPMSG = i) make sure you update your config files
Show the new topic when it's changed and config.ini is reloaded
Added %STAYTIME% variable
Modified the variables of the flood protection
I forgot to add a feature to kick someone when the user change his name and that name is blocked... fixed now
Added the message part when someone login (Just like on WCS)
ZCS is now listing in WCB and other KM's programs
