"i was just in irc...We will never admit to anything Destructoid scum!!...........hi you people who were in there. you know what you did and i will get you for it."
Giant Bomb IRC Chatroom has moved to a new server.
Really sorry for bumping this topic, but I'm a computer idiot. So, I've been on the IRC for quite a while but when my computer crashed and had its OS replaced I tried to log onto the IRC but it would always come up with the same error:
Unable to connect: java.net.ConnectException: connection refused: connect.
I've tried reinstalling java multiple times, restarting my browser, restarting my browser, /connecting, identifying my password, and trying it on a different browser.
Any idea on how to fix this problem?

what client do you use for connecting? Also try without a firewall or something.
" @Ahmad_Metallic said:ok so, i clicked on the new GB server from Hulk's post : The Giant Bomb IRC channel has officially moved to #GiantBomb on irc.DeltaAnime.net ." is this thing still alive? can i join ? "It's still alive, yeah. Come on down! "
it asks me to type in a channel.. whats the name of the channel ?
" @FluxWaveZ said:Nope. A separate client is not necessary. You can use a browser IRC client like www.mibbit.com."You need an IRC client to visit an IRC chartroom. Like mIRC. Download it, and use that to access the Giant Bomb IRC. "I'm not sure it works for Internet Explorer.

EDIT: Scratch that. Just got in.
I was surprised that DeltaAnime was used. DATorrents (their torrent tracker) is one of the most unreliable and slow servers out there. I really think the IRC should be moved to freenode.net or irchighway.net (animevice is on the latter)." @Lies said:
" DeltaAnime really is a bit inconsistent. Outages seems to happen rather often :| "DeltaAnime has more outages than Comcast in my town. Really, that is saying something. "

Outage problems? Networks, especially the larger ones, tend to have splits, but outages are unacceptable. The only other network I use regularly is irc.rizon.net (looks like IRC links are no longer allowed), which has its share of occasional splits but never outages as far as I can remember." @PureRok said:
