Title: IRC server connection
Post by: Depicticus on March 08, 2025, 08:29:18 PM
Hi, is it possible for someone to reactivate the IRC server instance at freecatfights.com:6697 that used to allow connections from standalone IRC clients?  I've tried contacting Outghost (https://www.freecatfights.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=47981)  but his profile is set to disallow private message sending. If anyone has the access to re-enable that server-port, that would be great. Thanks.

Thanks BD, appreciate it... hopefully he's able to fix easily enough.

The Tech needs to know what error/message you are getting when you try to use your client

I hadn't actually been getting any error message from the server at all, rather the attempted connection to freecatfights.com:6697 would just time out as destination-unreachable after 30 seconds or so.  So it seemed like the service running on that port was just totally offline. However as of today I am able to connect to it again from a standalone client, so it appears the tech must have restarted it successfully. Thanks for the efforts and updates, and here's hoping it stays up and online again for a nice while.
