It's rather old news now, but Leapnode has a new server, known as ChatWebDev! Give them a big welcome! You can check out their website at http://chatwebdev.com! If you want to chat with them, they've assembled themselves in #chatwebdev.

From ChatWebDev's release:

Leapnode is in short the effort to build a meta-community. Any community that becomes part of Leapnode will retain its sovereignty as a community and in part control over its server. We attempt to semantically separate a communities web aspects from the IRC aspects so that there is no conflict of ownership or interests, Leapnode will never govern or take over a community but rather seeks to provide an environment for communities to thrive in.

One of the main efforts of Leapnode is to bring structured maintenance and security to a network and to standardise things between servers. We also seek to offer further services to our communities later on, for instance web integration and web portals into IRC.

We here are Leapnode are excited to welcome CWD into Leapnode and look forward to seeing Leapnode and CWD grow together.
