+ClayJar Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 The network which normally hosts the official geocaching chats is ***DOWN***! There is a temporary replacement: http://gcchat.clayjar.com/ (same as always, it's just edited in on my side - or - #Geocache on irc.slashnet.org [[[ ClayJar Networks ]]] Home of Watcher downloads, Official Geocaching Chat, and the Geocache Rating System [This message was edited by ClayJar on June 23, 2003 at 09:18 PM.] Quote
+ClayJar Posted June 23, 2003 Author Posted June 23, 2003 The usual network seems to be on its way back up, but we'll stay in the alternate for tonight. After the chat, we'll figure out what we're doing. Stay tuned here or to the java chat page.

+IV_Warrior Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 Thanks for the quick work ClayJar, I was starting to suffer from "chat withdrawl" Nothing to see here, move along. [This message was edited by IV_Warrior on June 23, 2003 at 06:58 PM.] Quote
+ClayJar Posted June 23, 2003 Author Posted June 23, 2003 Because of the way the network on which we normally chat was taken down, it may be a while before service is completely restored (some people may be able to connect, but others may not). For the time being, the alternate network will be used, and if it turns out to be a decent network, we may just cut the losses and migrate over permanently. Anyway, stay tuned for any updates, but for now, at least, you can access the chat via the following: http://gcchat.clayjar.com/ - or - #Geocache on irc.slashnet.org (not irc.freenode.net... at least for now) (Incidentally, have you ever considered a little couple-channel IRC server, Jeremy? Sorry, I just *had* to...) [[[ ClayJar Networks ]]] Home of Watcher downloads, Official Geocaching Chat, and the Geocache Rating System Quote
+ClayJar Posted June 24, 2003 Author Posted June 24, 2003 Okay, it looks like we're going to make the switch permanent. For all you you are using something other than the java chat, you need to change the server you're using from irc.freenode.net to irc.slashnet.org. If you use the java chat page, it's already updated. [[[ ClayJar Networks ]]] Home of Watcher downloads, Official Geocaching Chat, and the Geocache Rating System Quote

+Planet Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 I am shamelessly bumping this back to the top for those who may be lost looking for the old chat and wondering "where is everybody?" Cache you later, Planet So many caches, so little time. Quote
+Freelens&Mosie Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 I am shamelessly still trying to get connected...so far no luck. Since I don't know how I got on the server last time I don't know how to change it. I will muddle through however so see you all there...maybe. Wisdom comes with age... but sometimes age comes alone.

+Planet Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 Freelens, click here for javachat and someone will walk you through mIrc set up just like they did for me! Cache you later, Planet So many caches, so little time. Quote
enfanta Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 Soooooooooooooooo-- what's up with chat? I am "unable to connect to server." Is it chat? Me? Huh? Care the Deception of Imitative Administrator Quote
+ClayJar Posted July 2, 2003 Author Posted July 2, 2003 You should also be able to change the URL like so if you want to specify a server: http://gcchat.clayjar.com/?server=whatever This is if I remember correctly. This library doesn't allow chat, so I *can't* test it. Oh, and incidentally, could someone please tell mtn-man that... (drumroll)... I *really* left my detail maps this time! (I was going up to DC, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont, with an option for North Dakota... Well, let's just say that I've now visited 47 states, now including Utah, and I'm about to leave here to hit number 48 -- Nevada. Well, back on the road again.)

+mtn-man Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 I tried it this way... http://gcchat.clayjar.com/?server=irc.slashnet.org It worked fine. If your in Utah and your going to Nevada, well, you might as well go up to Washington and knock on the door of our fearless leader! You already met hydee and rothstafari this past weekend! Go for it!!! Quote
