Any other questions can be directed to Cruiser or Peter on IRC.Īs you can now see the Chat page has been expanded to include more information about Tip.It's chat. We're also going to implement an automated backup system to help make sure we don't end up in the same position again in the future. If we are able to recover everything from the previous server we'll be restoring those copies so fewer people will see lost registrations and settings. We hope to be able to get a complete copy of the registrations from the old host but have no guarantees that we'll be able to do so. Unfortunately this meant we had to restore nickname and channel registrations from a rather old backup (February 2008) due to the abrupt shut down of the previous server and our lack of regular backups (which I'm now kicking myself for). Unfortunately that change resulted in the people running the actual servers being locked out and the new owner shutting down the servers, leaving all their customers locked out and with dead accounts they can no longer access, including us. Please only use this IP to connect for the next few days as it may change again in the future.įor those wanting to know the gritty details of what happened, the company our IRC server was hosted with underwent a "management change". If you don't want to wait for DNS to update or have been waiting longer than 24 hours you may connect using "64.32.12.120". DNS has been updated to point "" at the new server and should be working for most people within the next 24 hours at the latest. The IRC server is now back on-line at another host.
