I just got to say - that's a damn shame!I visited it a few weeks ago and no one seemed to be active.
I disabled it yesterday. Didn't get any reaction from anyone until now.
If no one uses it I might as well keep it disabled because it costs money.
The IRC is just a different set of people. We see the value of the IRC and we hang out there, in fact pretty much everyone in this thread is from the IRC. Taking it for granted would be if we just bailed IRC to another platform and only now talk about it when IRC is missing, but aside from myself and like....|Shadow| a long time ago (iunno if he made an alt, because I think he got banned a long time ago lol), I honestly don't think I've ever seen FAST, Surkow, etc. on the discord.This thread is the best representation of taking something for granted, then complain as soon as a change happened.
The gbatemp admins don't owe the users the services, the services are offered based on the demand and actual use, and if the IRC was taken down because the user base was summarised to 3 users idle for months, it's simply not worth keeping, in my honest opinion.
What's a "token website" ?Sadly my hosting right now is shared hosting (I only need token websites and files 99.9% of the time) so no real scope to run an IRC container/server and my home internet/power is not really reliable enough to stick a pi on it or something.
Is IRChighway standard in most clients nowadays? It is one of the few other servers I am always on so would be happy enough to set up #gbatemp/#gbatemp.net on that but when loading it up with other clients over the years I have often had to go fetch ports/addresses for it and if we can spare that for those joining I might be inclined to look elsewhere.
Its general existence predates the site but after efnet got annoying to use it went for own servers. It did used to be on the front page but got lost in a reshuffle so was mostly those that dug deep or that already knew at that point. Probably added to why it also appeared more inactive during Costello's sampling as fresh blood as it were is needed to keep conversation flowing.
Whether I have a website or not ultimately matters little to my business. However the ability to throw on a fully ?SQL/PHP website and send that around to clients wanting me to build them one, chuck random small files/pictures/whatever on to send as a link in emails or forums, have a basic email setup and more, sometimes (though not right now) even having unlimited domains on a shared host for those more local or small businesses wanting "here I am, this is what I do, here are some pictures of my work/menus/..." type sites is mightily convenient even if there are alternatives that work for all those.What's a "token website" ?
I use a domain name to link elsewhere, but I doubt you're talkong about that...
yep. ZNC popped up the top window on my desktop.about $5 per month or something.

I saw later in the thread that you turned it back on, but I'm still more than willing to host if needed. I got a Vultr server hosted in Atlanta that I only host my super bare-bones website and email server on.if anyone else is willing to run an IRC server I'm OK to point the DNS at you.
Send me the details via PM and I'll pick the most reasonable one
hello, yes that'd be nice actually.I saw later in the thread that you turned it back on, but I'm still more than willing to host if needed. I got a Vultr server hosted in Atlanta that I only host my super bare-bones website and email server on.
