Well if that ain't the darndest thing I ever did see.You are a shadow not a living breathing Human
Ok good answer and good ideaI 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.
I thought it was a random issue or connection issue my end, not a shutdown.I visited it a few weeks ago and no one seemed to be active.

Well there is discord now so there is thatI thought it was a random issue or connection issue my end, not a shutdown.
There is a core group of about 10 people that drift in and out, and a whole bunch more idlers and random visitors in spates.
If it is a separate server then fair enough. If it can be a container then it would be appreciated.
Failing that maybe time to go back to an umbrella server rather than self hosted. Would rather it be one with a nickserv and such but if it has to be efnet again then so it goes.
If it is gone for good my power company probably hates you as my machine will probably get the idle so sleep mode turned back on.
I dislike discord and consider it a woefully lacking replacement. No open source client/protocol, and what is there is demanding compared to other things. No scope to make your own server. Services lacking compared to what can be done with IRC servers and scripts/bots in said same. Censorship as they decide what can be talked about (no server of your own after all and on their platform)... all bad news from where I sit and why I like chat protocols that are at least open in protocol, the ability to self host a server ("your server, your rules" and all that).Well there is discord now so there is that
I agree with this person. Discord is all nice and shiny ... until they close your "server" and you realize you can do shit about it, as you cannot host your own ServerI dislike discord and consider it a woefully lacking replacement.

To that end I await its joining teamspeak, ventrillo, mumble, skype before too terribly long in "what's that?", "yeah I have it to speak to my grandparents" and "oh yeah I remember that".

discord is IRC for people who want candy fed to them. i'm gonna boycott you, Costello. You will hear from my imaginary attorneys. Taking away one of my desktop windows like that. This is worse than that really bad thing in history.I dislike discord and consider it a woefully lacking replacement.

While I don't get the Rage...discord is IRC for people who want candy fed to them. i'm gonna boycott you, Costello. You will hear from my imaginary attorneys. Taking away one of my desktop windows like that. This is worse than that really bad thing in history.
They can literally go to any other IRC Network out there.While I don't get the Rage...
I do get that sentiment.
All people that asked me to "get discord" sofar seemed to fit into the "CandyGlutton" category well.
IRC is nice. Even the DS had clients for it (I think Dragonminded DSO had one too).
@Costello:
Maybe ask the 10 ppl who use it to "split the bill" ?
I'm sure Smiths here has spare change laying around to save their beloved IRC.
While it's hardly a full solution, third party clients do exist. Pidgin can access Discord with a plugin, and there have been some attempts to make Discord usable over IRC, as well. There's also Fosscord, which aims to be an open alternative to Discord that is also cross compatible with it. Fosscord will eventually let you host your own servers that the Discord staff can't control.I dislike discord and consider it a woefully lacking replacement. No open source client/protocol
