IRC Down

[moonlit]

IRC is currently somewhere in hell, please use either of these to connect rather than irc.hak5.org:

hak5.owine.net

hak5.vertex-hosting.net

[intelspeed]

still nothing, might just be me but i cant connect to those 2 address's either :(

[cooper]

Those kept me in for a while. Right now the hostname doesn't even exist anymore, however irc.hak5.org is back again. Try that.

[wetelectric]

yup still down

IRC Has been moved to freenode.

A lot of us dont like this move and have a petition:

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/hak5irc/

(just ignore the donation thing, your signature gets added anyway)

You can still get on brainkill's server, a bunch of us still there, connect to 72.20.28.130

Topic» (In an effort to cut hosting costs and provide a more reliable chat experience the irc.hak5.org DNS entry will forward to Freenode tomorrow. Funds to be reallocated to a dedicated shout/icecast GigE server. Thank you for your patience and continued trust in technolust. Questions? Contact Wess or Darren.)

Well thank fuck we've finally moved away from BK's trainwreck of an IRC server. I might even consider a return.

[Kai]

BK's server has been the most stable for the last while.... at least from here.

[VaKo]

Stability wasn't the main issue for me. Running the IRC on a server with some extremely dubious/criminal activity's linked to it was though. However, I've not had time for IRC for some time & know nothing of freenode so I really know whats going on.

BK's so called "activities" were no preformed on the hak5 server. Freenode is a POS... #hak5 may as well go back to where it started #hak5 on efnet rather than wasting time on freenode if people are stupid enough to think that the change is really gonna benefit
