#amiga.org has moved (again)

[Blomberg]

As our IRC regulars may have noticed, the network has been missing in action for a couple of days, even the website appears to be gone.
As a consequence, we have moved the channels to synIRC.

Connect to:
eu.synirc.net if you're in Europe
or
us.synirc.net if you're in the Americas
or
irc.synirc.net if you're somewhere else or don't know where you are :-D
or
use the CGI web thing, substituting SynGuestXXX for your desired nick name.

We're sorry for the inconvenience.

--Update--
Apparently ZiRC is back.

Oh well, they can't expect users to stick with them when they apparently don't care enough about us to at least leave a message on a website or something.

I was wondering why I had been unable to access zirc.

Glad to see the channel is back

It was it the air already, zirc's been deteriorating for a while now.

As odin says, the network had been deteriorating for a while. Nothing to do with us moving there, honest. A few months back many of the servers which made up the ZiRC network (including all the european ones) pulled out and formed synIRC. This was due to some disagreement between the Sysops and the ZiRC founder. In fact I believe this left ZiRC with just one server - now down.

I assume we'll be going back if/when the server comes back online? If not then we'll definitely be staying with synIRC - which is essentially the network we used to use (but for one server), with a different name.

Nah, seems a bit pointless now that we've done all the work to move.
Also, sounds like el presidente finally approves:

should i post it as a permanent or temporary thing?
permament, no use going back there

Did you even get to visit us on ZiRC? Seems like only yesterday we were on WebCrap...  :-)

I think it would be a good idea for amiga.org to host their own irc server like amigaworld does.
Then you will have full control..

[odin]

Or we could just move to the AW.net network.. :sealed:.

Yeah, i did briefly.

Or irc.freenode.org or irc.accessirc.net would be decent networks if this latest one does not work out.

Just another bump for the benefit of our weekend chatters and those we lost in the transition. We also welcome new users to come and join the channel. Find us at #amiga.org on irc.synirc.net :-D

If you don't already have an IRC client installed, follow these instructions, substituting irc.zirc.org with irc.synirc.net (unless the instructions have been updated in the meantime.) There is also a rather good CGI client if your browser supports it.

synIRC has some stats for our channel on their site.

One last thing. Although #amiga.org is often quite general chat, there's also a #coffeehouse for when it's needed. You're all welcome to lurk there too.
