Hmmm for a few hours this morning a chat tab appeared up at top of the page. It didn't work just kept trying to load without leaving the page. I see it's disappeared now. A work in progress?

Validated the source files have not been changed as well. I think you may have a local infection.

That's always been there, I thought. It's for the IRC chat, which no one uses.

I must have misunderstood. I thought there was some other chat window popping up?

I assume the reason it doesn't load is that it's not an irc:// link. So, the browser tries it as a web page (http://), and it has no web page there.

That was for the Dumpshock IRC server that Jackal was running for a while. He was hosting it out of pocket, but he started having issues with the company that was hosting. Between that and very low traffic, he decided to drop it. The link should probably be removed at some point.

Yeah, Jackal had an information page set up that gave the address and stuff, links to a web-based IRC program, links to download a couple real IRC programs, and basic IRC primer, since a lot of the younger kids today never used it, with their facny message boards and Instant Messaging and texting and GET OFF MY LAWN YOU LOUSY KIDS!!!! AHem... Anyway... Yeah. Stuff. Bull |

Strange I don't remember seeing the tab before and it's not there now.
Was right between dumpshock tab and terms of service tab. |

Ok, long and short about what happened.
My previous host decided, without giving me any sort of heads up, to move their host. Changing all IP addresses and deleting the old files. This was a two fold problem. My backups were kept on said server, also the domain name was linked to the IP address specifically, which they changed and could not or would not restore back to it's old IP address. I've tried several times to get in contact with Dumpshock's owners to make arrangements to set up a new server and change the IP routing, I've yet to hear back from anyone. So, if any one that has access rights to the Dumpshock Domain name reads this, please contact me either through PMs here or contact Bull, as he knows how to reach me as well. |

I've been informed about the change in management, so we'll see where that goes.

Dumpshock IRC is live again and all ready to roll. Nickserv and Chanserv are up and running. The dicebot is in the works and will come later.

Just to let people know, I added the 7500 port back since some people had it configured for that specific port. As for the chat tab at the top, I can't do anything about that. I only run the IRC server which is actually independent of the forums.
