News & Updates
Sunday 29 January 2012
Room N201 only has 8 spaces left. If you're registered, go ahead and pay for it. If you haven't registered, you might want to do so. With only 3 weeks left before the LAN, anything could happen. If the room fills up and N206 is still open, all registrations that remain that are unpaid will be moved to the alternative room.
NOTE FOR SPECTATORS:
Please register, even if you "don't know if you're coming or not". We need to have your details on list just in case there's an emergency and the building has to be evacuated.
If you wish to eat our food, you will need to pay for it. So register and pay if you intend to stay.

Well, it's now official! - UrbanLAN 16 is a go!
Registrations are now open, so go and register!!! What are you waiting for?!?! Stop reading this and register already!!!
Click the UrbanLAN 16 tab above to do so.
Important information about N206!!!
Room N206 now has 22" monitors permanently fixed to the desks. If you wish to use them, you are more than welcome. However they only have VGA cables. If you wish to bring your own DVI cable, feel free also. You can still bring your own monitor if you wish, but there will not be as much room as before. We'll leave that up to you to decide.

FOOD MENU is now live. View the food menu here.
Until the next news item...
For Photos of UrbanLAN 15 - Check them out. If you would like to sponsor us, please contact us now.
Ed Linklater stood down from his positions of director and crew shortly after UrbanLAN 11 (Held 26/27 June) citing personal reasons and a loss of passion for the job. He agreed to sponsor the LAN as developer/host for the website in exchange for advertising Techlust.
Jase/PinguWaaWaa was voted in as the new director and brought back David/Anthrax to help run events. As part of the transition UrbanLANs bank account details were changed.
After some initial uncertainty Ed attended UrbanLAN 12 in the invite room so he could not be mistaken as part of the crew. As he was a sponsor he attended free of charge.
Claims of crew requests for him to be no longer involved are untrue and come as a surprise.
Typically we would support new LANs and many of the crew have either attended or helped other LANs in the area. However, given Ed’s actions and statements we won’t be supporting his new venture.
We hope you continue to support our LANs.
Questions
What’s up with Ed
That’s not something we can answer.
Why did the site go down?
Ed took the site down after a disagreement concerning his attendance at the crew meeting for UrbanLAN 13. He invited himself to attend and wished to ask crew for suggestions on improvements to the site.
Given his distancing since UrbanLAN 11 and conflicts with other crew members, crew felt his attendance wasn’t required but if he’d like he could email a list of questions to ask about the web-site and an email would be sent back providing answers.
This was taken personally and as a result the site was taken down.
David negotiated its return and for it to be moved to a new host in exchange for a one off popup displaying Eds message.
Do you mix personal issues with business?
No. UrbanLAN have always had a form of democracy and with the change in leadership even more so, so such a feat would be difficult to achieve. Attempts have been made in the past but have met stiff rebuttal.
Why speak up now
We didn’t have control of the site before and didn’t want another takedown. Those who spoke their mind on the forum had their posts removed by Ed.
