  1. Re:Nothing to see here, move along. by Erik+Fish · · Score: 2 · on EFnet Hits Turbulence

    A couple of servers changed their policy. As far as I understand, from my limited experience, there's nothing strange or extraordinary about that.

    From the semi-official EFNet site:

    • 9/2 - irc.core.com leaves EFNet. According to the news item, this server handled over 15% of of EFNet's user load.
    • 9/7 - irc2.home.com is shut down due to DoS attacks against it and the "chance is not great" that it will return.
    • 9/12 - irc.lsl.com is pronounced dead.
    • 9/19 - irc.ef.net goes down. Admins of the server refuse to comment on weather or not it will return.

    The official page doesn't even talk about how far the connection policies on most of the remaining U.S. servers have been tightened! From what I've seen and heard, most people these days only have a hope in hell of using east/west glbx.net, prison.net and emory.edu. This is not just "business as usual".

    This seems to be a non-issue to me.

    Just move to a better irc network, and when you do, notice that EFNet is the largest, longest running IRC network in existance. Sounds like as good a place as any, huh?
