yes, I know that.I'm not sure what I'm going to do about chat. The new ISP doesn't want me running an IRC server. Chat may go away permanently very soon.

ok anyone els got a server that can host the chat ?[Link] Drew Black broken crankshaft 8031 Posts 9/99 Posted - May 30 2006 : 12:22AM
I have a 1000 user license for ConferenceRoom from these guys But they also offer free chat rooms somewhere that might work OK for us.
I need to talk to the ISP a little more. The sales guy indicated that our chat server shouldn't be a problem IF we only allow the Java interface and not an open IRC interface.

As in mIRC? Just curious, did he say why? Just for fun I just tried irc.adultdvdtalk.com and could log in fine. The #adt channel is there too.

It's still running on the old server.IRC networks are often used by zombie bots for distributed denial of service type attacks. I think it's pretty common for hosting companies to not want the aggravation of their networks being used for DOS attacks.

Thanks for explaining. No way to put controls on an IRC network? only allowed registered users or something?

Sure, I can leave it there but on June 1st the internet connection to it is being terminated so it won't be very helpful. Jeff @ IAFD has graciously offered to host the chat server software on his servers. (Thanks to Luke for asking ;)
The chat server may go offline for a little while while it moves to its new home.
