Marlowe Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 ...No you're not all banned. The server is down. As usual in this situation, we've set up the backup channel on Darkmyst.org. This should just be a temporary problem however - we hope to have the server back up soon. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 for those that dont know, the back up channel is at irc.darkmyst.org and channel #airsoft Link to post Share on other sites
Marlowe Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 (edited) My bad - I assumed people wouldn't be lazy and would simply search for the previous posts on the topic. Then I remembered this is Arnies. So yes, the server is acessible through any decent IRC client on irc.darkmyst.org, channel #airsoft. Thanks Tink.

joeking27 Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I think we should stay on darkmyst, only people in there for the last hour and a half are the regular ops. and chanserv ¬_¬ Link to post Share on other sites

Arnie Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I'll see if I can get hold of Marcus (he runs the server for irc) and let him know. I should have login details for it somewhere.... Darn it I need a secretary to tidy up my files (paper and data). Edit: Okay found the details for it, the server isn't responding so I can't get in to see what's up. I'd guess the server itself is currently off, crashed, physicaly disconnected or some such as it's not responding in any way. I'll see if I can raise Marcus to let him know. He was last in on the 11th. If there's no luck I can change the forwarder for the channel to the one you guys are currently using. Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Theres an IRC channel?? Interesting.. Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I have the login details, but the server is actually offline. Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Edited my above post with a follow up. Link to post Share on other sites
Marlowe Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Thanks for the follow up Arnie. Myself and Caz had attempted to restart the server without success. Fingers crossed it's just something which can be easily remedied, like downtime for maintenence. Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 (edited) Hehe Theres probably no need to change the forwarder, at least not yet, the one we're on just now has a few advantages and dissadvantages compared to the dedicated arnies server, the first and foremost being that as its a network not a single server, that works both for and against us in that users should be connected to there nearest(geographicly) possible server and any crashes would only disconect a few users untill the client they use finds another sutable server to work from, but there are a lot more users connected to darkmyst than just the relativly low number of folk in #airsoft ,this means that common nicknames such as Dave and even Gene are already taken and registered by other users, on Marcus' server the user would be allowed to use the nick untill such time as the person who registered it connects , on darmyst they can only use it for 60 seconds.

Hissing_Sid Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Once you guys have decided what you're gonna do you might want to sort out the Java IRC applet so it connects to whatever channel you're using. Or, if the Darkmyst channel is a permenant back-up, why not just add a seperate Applet to link to that as well? Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 (edited) web ap fill in the nickname, channel is #airsoft (it wont work without the hash) server is irc.darkmyst.org. Its a bit basic, but it works. Edited November 29, 2005 by cazboab Link to post Share on other sites

cazboab Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 What sort of error message does it give? If you run MS java(not sun thougheven though its the real java ) you should be able to use the java app on www.darkmyst.org Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 The chat applet has been updated on to direct to darkmyst at the moment. Whoever's helping keep that room running drop me a line with a list of mods for it so that I can stick up a dedicated section here in the forums for IRC. That way there's a dedicated mod team, relevant pages on here and a documented area for mods to stick rules. Link to post Share on other sites

Stealthbomber Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Is IRC borked again? I can't get in on the Arnies applet or mIRC. mIRC says it can't connect to irc.xombo.com at all. Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) Its not broke it just ain't workin' like it should atm. Update: apparently there's been a big storm were the xombo website(and its DNS gubbins) was hosted, the irc server is a seperate entity to the website hence its still semi-operational Edited January 8, 2007 by cazboab Link to post Share on other sites

cazboab Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 No it am not but the DNS is. Connect your 3rd party client to 72.20.27.124 or if you use java type "/server 72.20.27.124" Link to post Share on other sites
Marlowe Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Right, we've all had quite enough of the regular downtimes, so after taking it to the vote, we're moving to Quakenet, one of the most popular and reliable server networks. The FAQ has been updated with the appropriate details, so please refer to that for information on how to connect. Users using the Java applet: Arnie has redirected the client. The hostmask irc.arniesairsoft.co.uk should redirect automatically within 24 hours. Let's hope this is the last time we need one of these threads! Link to post Share on other sites
