Shutdown

[Fouisgras]

So apparently Sythe + Matthew just cut off our DNS (irc.sythe.org).

As of right now, the only way to connect to the IRC is by connect to the IP 72.20.17.172. Options for the IRC owner(s) are as follows: Buy a new DNS, or shutdown the IRC. So your beloved IRC might have just been shut down.

Opinions?

Sythe IRC shouldn't be shut down.. I like it and I know many other people like it as well.

It isn't a money issue, is it?

<Shawn> I
<Shawn> [12:29] Shawn: Hold on a sec
<Shawn> [12:30] Shawn: So you want me to ban anyone banned on sythe.org from the IRC?
<Shawn> [12:30] Sythe: yes
<Shawn> [12:31] Sythe: and oper anyone who is in the sythe.org power structure
<Shawn> [12:31] Sythe: and not ban staff

Sythe's proposed case scenario: 40 opers who don't know what chanserv is.

 

[Sythe]

Not that I care, but to clarify I meant channel-oper status... which is halfop or something similar in the IRC lingo.

But like I said to shawn: the irc isn't being run properly, and hasn't been run properly for a long time. If someone would like to volunteer to run the IRC properly, on my terms, then I'll re-enable the DNS.

Otherwise we'll just remove the IRC section altogether and you guys can go hang out on an unoffical server.

I'll post a thread explaining what's happened when I have the time. I'm currently on vacation and this isn't my top priority.

For now I'm going to close this thread.
