Due to cmoski and I having too little time to run a network, along with a lack of interest in many of the channels, we decided to merge with ext3.net, a network run by jdhore (and others). The guys who run ext3.net are younger and far more involved both in running their network as well as programming.

Thanks everyone for the past 5 years, it has been a great deal of fun (and quite a bit of anarchy). Special thanks to jdhore who patiently sorted out many of our technical issues over the years and will continue to do so on ext3.net.

Myself, Hagar, eggy, mac-mini and cmoski (when he isn't busy, which he is now with a new job) will be around on ext3.net as staff. SnoFox and goose are the primary net-admins and are very helpful guys who will look after you if we aren't around to.

All channels and users have now been transferred over. If you were registered with nickserv, you should have received an email with a link to reset your password. If you didn't, feel free to highlight myself or another oper/admin and we'll sort you out.

Don't forget to update your client to connect to:

irc.ext3.net 6667 or 6697 (SSL)
