But this time... I absolutly can NOT connect to ANY EFNet server. Period. I've mentioned before that everybody has a hard time connecting to these things. At most, two, maybe three if you're lucky. Pete on the other hand? He can connect to ZERO. :(

So, once again, I move to move the IRC chat channel to irc.starlink-irc.org on the basis of it being a zillion times easier to connect to a server. Not only that, if you have a java client, you can connect to the server as well! Instead of connecting to only a possible one server, you can connect to nine - no matter where you are to my knowledge - with the exception of a couple net splits... but nowhere near as many as EFNet.

Does this reasoning make sense to anybody or am I just talking to a wall?(sorry... I'm a bit frustrated at EFNet's activity... been so for at least a month... probably six months...) GB9

I'm sorry, but DALnet is just crap. I haven't been to starlink, but at least one friend of mine is on there a lot, so moving there might be a decent idea. But if we do decide to move there, let me know so I can move the bot there too (especially the upload announcing one). EFnet does seem a little better recently than it did last summer though...

I'd prefer to stay on EFnet (selfish - so I can stick to just two IRC servers), but if we do move, Starlink would probably be the better choice.
