Sal,

There are 6 new members already today, so I am not sure what the deal is with you not being able to register.

Maybe tal will look into it?

See title ... PM is OK.

I am waiting too!

Andrew is one of the most helpful and pleasant members of the Archive. He's been a faithful participant here for a long time.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank him for all of his contributions and wish him a very happy birthday.

You certainly should be able to use one of the other chat clients. Go to the main forums page here and click in the link to "The Lobby" and let me know what happens.

Otherwise, work will continue to get everything back up.

I don't know exactly what the problem is, other than it has something to do with the web server on the chat server box. Any of the programs that run off of the Archive server proper should work fine.

Apric or any one that the url is like http://darkstar1.tzo.com ..... is appearantly down. I think ...

I also want to strongly remind the operators to be careful when banning IP addresses. Using an example in the 192.168.1.x range:

Banning 192.168.1.* bans 254 IP addresses

Banning 192.168.*.* bans 64,516 IP addresses

Banning 192.*.*.* bans 16,387,064 IP addresses

Mac and others:

How are you connecting? Through a web page (java chat) or with a regular IRC client?

Please give the specific page of client you are using.

Thanks!
