GG IRC community dead?

by Mike Stoddart · in General Discussion · 12/24/2004 (10:43 am) · 12 replies

Whatever happened to the IRC servers at maxgaming? The first one listed doesn't exist and the GG channel in the second is always empty. Did I miss something or has IRC gone out of favour with the GG community?

Thanks

We are hiding from everyone.. look under the mirc rock and you may find the secret entrance to our secret clubhouse.. :)

Mike - You may have old settings in your IRC Client. The maxgaming server changed its server naming about 9 months or more ago, but you'll find about 30-50 GGer's in the channel on average. Lots of scripting, model and general ideas fly constantly.

I'm using the server names from GG's IRC page! I'm so confused!

IRC Server1: irc.maxgaming.net
IRC Server2: irc.homelan.com
IRC Port: 6667
Channel: #GarageGames

Yea I tried to get on irc about 3 months ago a few times and never could so gave up. I saw everyone still mentioning irc all the time, so I assume those are wrong and they've never bothered to update them?

Mgo2.maxgaming.net seems to work for me.

Irc.maxgaming.net is what the majority of people connect to, so not sure why you are having a iissue, you can connect to one of the nodes

mgo.maxgaming.net
mgo2.maxgaming.net
mgo3.maxgaming.net
or
irc.freemech.net

port 7778 or 6667

Or, if you have mIRC installed...
irc://irc.maxgaming.net/garagegames

What do you mean another dead end? This post was last updated two years ago due to connection issues.

IRC Server

It's on the What's New page, linked just under the Unread Posts link.

My apologies David. Like most, I didn't pay attention and jumped to a conclusion. Thanks for the information and your lightning quick response.
