#se4 IRC
 

Wow... 6 people active on #se4!!! Come join the fun!

http://se4irc.spaceempires.net/ has info on how to connect.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

Damn, I can't seem to log on. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Just my luck too.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

Try the java chat client on www.gamesnet.net

Re: #se4 IRC
 

I think we need to start running those "Guest Sessions" again. I enjoyed them.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

They just petered out and the Last few had only a couple of people show up. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: #se4 IRC
 

It happens. Just try connecting again and it should select a different random gamesnet server to connect to.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

MiRC is tempermental.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

Wow, 8 people in there now! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Edit: Make that 9! Come on by and join the party!

Well you came Online when most people were already asleep. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: #se4 IRC
 

Why do people always want to join the channel, but then leave after 1-2 minutes? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif At least give me a chance to finish typing whatever post I was typing and click back on the window! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: #se4 IRC
 

Gamesnet seems to be having domain name problems. I seem to remember the IRC channels moving to a new server, but I cant find the thread about it now.

Can someone provide me with the server and port that I can connect to, to access #se4?

Re: #se4 IRC
 

irc.gamesurge.net

Don't know about the Port Number. I don't specify it and I can connect fine.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

the default port numbers are usually 6000, 6666-6670, 7000 and 8080. of course, that varies from server to server...

Re: #se4 IRC
 

anyone in the mood for chatting? Maybe this thread should be sticky, so whenever someone's Online they can just bump it.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

Count me in, to bad no one else shows up. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: #se4 IRC
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">hmmm, If it's a "Sticky" how will we know it got bumped? Or rather,.. "If it's a 'Sticky' how can it be 'Bumped'?"

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: #se4 IRC
 

We'd have to get into the habit of looking sat the "Last updated" date and time for this thread.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

I have noticed that the Chat is always busier during the week, while people are at work, then it is on the weekends, while people are at home.

I wonder why that is? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: #se4 IRC
 

If you want to chat now, sign on!

Re: #se4 IRC
 

What, your not there!

Re: #se4 IRC
 

I was when I posted that. Class needed attending. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: #se4 IRC
 

*Bump* Come on folks; the night is young!

Re: #se4 IRC
 

We got nine people on! Ok, we don't have a conversation, but we got nine people!

Re: #se4 IRC
 

I can't seem to connect to gamesurge.

With all the old #se4 threads, I decided to recycle. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: #se4 IRC
 

In the Status Window for the connection, type /server

Re: #se4 IRC
 

It aborts the connection and tries again if I do that.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

It did the same for me a few hours ago Narf, but it works fine now. So I guess there is/was something wrong with the server, or something along these lines.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

Still can't connect.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

I got on just fine....

Re: #se4 IRC
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It changes it to a different gamesurge server... try changing the server to just irc.gamesurge.net in the connection manager.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

That's the server name.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

Hi. Nice wolf. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Hey, waitaminite...half a minute ago there was a wolf pic for your avatar..?

Perhaps I should make my Last post more clear...It is just irc.gamesurge.net in the connection manager. And it still doesn't work. I've tried /server.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

It didn't work for me either a few minutes ago. There seem to be a problem with the server, but unlike you, I can usually connect after some (granted, quite a few) attempts.

Hmm... Perhaps I should get an award for having written the least helpful post since these forums were open. I do not have the slightest idea about why it doesn't always work, or more importantly, how to make it work.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

This might of helped. Should've posted it earlier: [11:54] *** Connection to irc.gamesurge.net failed (couldn't resolve hostname).

* Whaps forehead.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

I have the same message, so whatever it is, we are in the same boat. The difference is that I can eventually log on. Could it be a problem with overseas Users? It doesn't seem too likely at all, but who said informatics was to make any sense?

Nobody else seems to have the same error by the looks of it. Hmm... Incidentally, is this hostname the one of the server, or the one of the client?

Re: #se4 IRC
 

I dunno.

I live in Canada, so it's probably not location.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

Ah, but do not underestimate the Canadian plot. Several hard drives went down with all hands in Canada, hence highlighting the presence of *something* disturbing computers in Canada.

Why does it strike me? The explanation is very simple: on a rainy day, some Frenchmen decided to settle in a part of Canada, for the sake of bothering the rest of Canada. So either they brought this computer disease with them, or it was something along the lines of a vengeance.

Well, at least I am helping you keep this thread as visible as possible Narf. Who knows? Someone with an actual, plausible idea might pop in and give you the answer you are seeking (I think that looking for the product of 6 and 9 might be helpful to you. Well, perhaps not though).

Re: #se4 IRC
 

heh. now I can't get on. I guess I spoke too soon yesterday.....

Re: #se4 IRC
 

The Canadian conspiracy has a long reach then. Silliness aside, it doesn't work for me either at the moment of the writing.

My newest theory is that Gamesurge doesn't work when the hour is even. When it is, for example, 4:56 pm, it will not work. It works fine at 4:55 pm or 4:57 pm though. In other words, it seems like a temporary glitch that is somehow resolved without any reason.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

I was there earlier today, (around 4:30pm) and got on with no problems. So I can attest that it has nothing to do with any 'Canadian Phenomenon'. But it's interesting that some people would think us so powerful as to affect IRC chanels this way. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: #se4 IRC
 

but I got it to work by changing from irc.gamesurge.net to irc.US.gamesurge.net. Maybe it's just the irc.gamesurge.net that's failing....

Re: #se4 IRC
 

Indeed, it worked perfectly for me with this address.

Well Hazy One (or David if you will), blaming the Canadian Plot (or any other geographically based hazard) is certainly a much clearer solution than talking about a "DNR node being down on port 23, thus preventing all Users logging from the IST protocol from reaching the channel. Sorry for the inconvenience, and enjoy your session chatting with our error Messages".

This aside, the Canadian plot is a theory advanced by Raging Deathstar in another thread, and so I shamelessly took his idea and made it mine. Now back to your regularly scheduled programmes, since I shouldn't really been highjacking this thread.

Re: #se4 IRC
 

No go on irc.us.gamesurge.net and irc.ca.gamesurge.net

Re: #se4 IRC
 

I think I'll pass many idle hours there... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Anyway, I'm new to these Boards. Hi everyone hehe.
