Ben,

Good luck, and welcome to Amiga.org, but what's wrong with the half-dozen channels that are already available, including our own (link at left)?

Well Wayne there is nothing wrong with the other channels that already exist, but i am trying to Create a dedicated amiga server, for anything amiga includeing emulation,classic amigas,and new amigas, and to provide as much support as i can do, i am prepaird to host the server for free so if you would maybe consider moveing your channel to my server, anyone who has ops on your channel will of cause get ops on my server and wayne could i tempt you with Irc Ops

What kind of support is that? What are the exact benefits of this?

IRC servers are free.

so if you would maybe consider moveing your channel to my server, anyone who has ops on your channel will of cause get ops on my server and wayne could i tempt you with Irc Ops

Eh. Thanks, but no thanks.

I'm afraid but this is not going to work. Yet another single(?) server irc network on who-knows-how (un)reliable connection. There is real benefit in using large networks: guaranteed accessibility, stability etc. This server appears to be running on AOL.

And surprisingly the server is down ATM:

amiga.ath.cx [205.188.198.42] 6667 (ircd) : Connection timed out

'Nuff said.

[UPDATE: The server appears to be up again. Looks like the dynamic DNS changed just recently. Now the IP address appears to be 172.186.178.150. Dynamic IP address is not helping.]

uhhh the server isnt down its been up the whole time my DNS had a problem but server is still there so i think you should try again befor stateing something that isnt true, and my connection is reliabul

[beneyreuk]

172.186.178.150 that has been the server ip since 2:20pm yesterday it hasnt changed i guess your whois is unreliabull
