Giant Bomb IRC Chatroom has moved to a new server.

"Why the fuck is the channel down? I just want to chat with a few of the other guys, not this bullshit."

You could always try reading the first post in this thread, or reading the topic in the old channel..."

"FAIL! I got banned for the channel for saying "/me sniggers". What a joke. :(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snigger"

It's not working for me (can't open the page)

After some channel op discussion we've decided to disable to "badwords filter" in favor of users using the /ignore function if they find something offensive.  Ops are only going to step in if people are being excessive with it.

So in the future if those of you who have complained to Hulk in the past about things people are saying, if and when you decide to come back to the channel and are offended by things people are saying, type /ignore (their name here).

Is there any way we can get the link edited into the "Community is Still a Threat" thread?

I don't really want to have to start maintaining that thread...I sent a PM to MattBodega to see what is going on with it, it's been far too long since it's been updated."

Hulk doesn't really know what to tell you.  Assuming you're using Chatzilla right?  The link in the first post should work."

Registered, works fine. =]

Hmmm any one else unable to connect? i cant seem to connect to the chat.

Nobody is able to connect. All attempts to join DeltaAnime have failed. I'm pretty sure they finally went under as a server (last website update in 2005? seriously?).

Was DeltaAnime really necessary?

"Nobody is able to connect. All attempts to join DeltaAnime have failed. I'm pretty sure they finally went under as a server (last website update in 2005? seriously?)."

The server is having some problem with leaf hosts shutting off some of their servers for no reason.  As a result it's screwed up the network and split each server.  It's like a permanent netsplit.  /server chat.

So just wait a day or two and it should be fine.

Competent how? I know a lot of gaming related networks use AuthServ or related (GameSurge, QuakeNet), which doesn't reserve nicknames. I do know however that Freenode's nickserv lets you ghost kill users that are using your name and not logged in. I don't believe it automatically deals with impostors however.

Only issue is Freenode is mostly focused on the Open Source community, so you'd have to convince them...course Wikipedia has its channels there and considering the wiki-ness of GB...maybe.

So... where's everyone right now?

me, shawn and lunar are in the chatango i gave. I'll give mod/admin abbilities to hulk if and when he comes on.

I'm having some trouble getting in to the IRC, will try again later

WE are all going back to the gamesurge IRC
irc://irc.gamesurge.net/giantbomb

P.S: this is just temporary till deltaanime comes back.

In my post Hulk directed everyone to the server links that are currently working.  They have both been re-combined and the services are back up.  They are still working on getting the original addy back online.  So in the meantime it is  chat. until irc.deltaanime.net is back online.

Hulk is actually a little surprised it's all back up so quickly.  From what Hulk was told it seemed like it was going to take them a few days to sort things out.  At this rate Hulk wouldn't be surprised if everything was completely back to normal by tomorrow.

Hulk's browser naturally linkifies everything.  Hulk can't imagine what it must be like for you guys being so noob.

Rowr cant imagine what its like being so geek.

Hulk is a racist.... WOW

Everything is back to normal now.  The original link works again.

Great, will check out tomorrow

When I click on the link a popup comes up and says "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (irc) isn't associated with any program." anybody know why?

He was having some difficulty in logging his username on the IRC channel. There is no harm in bumping this topic."
