IRC- Too soon or are we ready?
    #22285741 - 09/24/15 07:38 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

The topic says it all.  Are we ready to have an IRC network back?  Or is irc.shroomery.org gone forever?


Currently we have shroomery hosted on a seperate network that would be glad to continue to host it, officially as well, and any DoS attacks upon that server will be regulated by it, no blow-backs will ever come back to the shroomery (unless someone specifically targets the site, which can happen regardless of IRC or not).

I understand the last time the IRC network and website were hosted on the same server,  No dns/redirect or anything, just all the same server.  I think we all know by now that isn't the best way to host an IRC network, but to have one (a network) offer to host it for you takes away all responsibilities from the Shroomery, as far as network/ddos collateral goes.




This again goes with questioning whether the network of people is ready or not.  We had one problem user that ruined it for us all, a single person out of the tens of thousands of users here.  It's been a few years but I think we've grown over it, and I'm hoping it's time to bring back IRC, or at  least an official channel for #shroomery, regardless of being hosted on another network or not.



Your thoughts and opinions however are highly regarded however, please let us know what you think.
