Um. For some reason when I click on the chat link on the main page, it says it connecting to irc.sixlabrats.com. Isn't supposed to be irc.sixlabrats.org?
Cause I try to connect it times out.

[Moonbread]

No, I have it as .com on X-chat, and it works fine.

[Rocksfan13]

Something's not right, because it still is timing out.

Well if WildBill can edit his post, I can too! Huzzah.

Welcome to sixlabrats. We cannot guarantee that our lab rats are fully equipped to fend off vengeful idiots, and I don't want to jinx our uptime, but we do hope that our modern facilities and comfortable furnishing is sufficient. I can assure you that our staff are not evil dictators and they will not unnecessarily interfere with your channels or else I will smite them with my spork.

(Though don't tell Kitreia that, because he probably likes the spork... I'll have to come up with another punishment :/)

Yeah... I lied

Hi Dani, thanks for the welcome and thanks for having us. I'll do my part in the chat rooms by being civil if it'll help you do your job. ^_^

(I haven't tested out the new server since the move... Trying it now. *crosses fingers*)

I managed to get onto #PureZC on irc.sixlabrats.com yesterday just fine all by myself

Anyway, but today, no luck. I'll keep trying.

And as for American toilets... disgusting

I think I discovered the problem. I attempted to connect through Java due to not being on my home computer, and I had the same problem. A few days ago I tried to connect through mIRC using port 7000 and I was unable to connect. When I changed the port back to 6667, it connected without a problem. So I think there is a problem with the use of port 7000, which the java client is using. Someone should pass this on to Wild Bill if I don't get the chance to.

[Dani]

No worries Schwa. If anyone wants vhosts restored from previous networks or any bots (via botserv) created for your channels, let us know. I wouldn't mind some ideas for bot names, there is only a small selection to choose from at the moment.

There's always IRCops in the #help channel if you need assistance. I'm not online much myself due to work, but you can leave me a memo.

[Chii]

Um...quick q...I have no idea how to do any of this stuff. T.T It's all Greek to me!

[Dani]

Haha, all you need to do is join the chat. The link is on PureZC's home page.

IRC is a little daunting at first if you wish to do more than just sit and chat - like register your nick, create and register channels, and learn how to manage them with certain commands. But if I can do it, anyone can

IRC is also a great source of internet drama!

[Edit] Messaged Wild Bill about changing the port to 6667.

[Chii]

But I do that, and it doesn't connect...>.>

[Dani]

I tried to lure Wild Bill out of his BrainBone, but he's too far gone. I'm not sure if any other admins can change the port so java users can connect?

[Nate]

Chii, grab a client like Xchat or mIRC, and connect to irc.sixlabrats.com port 6667

Then join #purezc.
