Well I went out and started my own IRC server. Right now it'll handle up to 500 users (expandable as needed). Every single one of you are invited to it and those of you who've got good reputations (not so much IC as OC) may be invited if you so wish to assist with administrating.

What is the benefit of this IRC versus Coldfront? Honestly, not much...this server will be focused on the CN community. All will be welcomed, we don't have a ton of rules or regulations (common sense is needed however). You'll get a great staff that is dedicated to both CN and IRC. You can send noobs to us and we'll help get em going/registered. We'll have less netsplits then Coldfront and, of course, it is themed for CN.

I can promise that no staff member shall ever abuse their IRCops as we will have a 0 tolerance policy. I have direct access to the server and will at a moment's notice remove the IRCops of anyone caught abusing the ops. Our staff will deal with server issues in an OC fashion and not IC.

Again, you're all invited to give us a try...I hope more than a few alliances decide to switch.


For now (domain name is not up and website isn't ready) we're hosting under the static IP irc://72.20.38.117.


P.S. As of right now Krunk of NSO is currently an IRCop. I am looking for those with knowledge, maturity, and experience on IRC who are willing to:

1) Assist newbies with getting registered on IRC
2) Assisting peoples with any IRC problem they might have

You should have a working knowledge of IRC commands as well as CN.


Thank you all for your time and welcome!

DDOS - vulnerable

Looks pretty cool! I'm not sure how things will work out since everybody is pretty accustomed to Coldfront, but what hasn't been tried before cannot be judged. I might hang out 'round those parts just to see how it goes.

I really don't see a point to this except that there will be no more random people in #NSA who don't even play CN.

For those few that are signing on...

It's fairly empty right now. But the beauty is lots of channel names are open right now (we don't really have any restrictions).

As for DDoS...perhaps, but that's something we're working on getting fixed (both on the network and within the server)...just gimmie a little time

either your linking skills fail really bad, or your server already got DDoSed.

that or more accurately...the BBC code parser for these boards is !@#$e...it added HTTP:// to the link...it's been fixed.

With your first choice of IRCop, I think I'll pass.

If it ain't broke....

Coldfront works fine, to be honest. I don't think this is necessary or desireable even.
(And at least it's not Esper )

Pretty much.

Also, Esper uuuuuuuuu~~

synirc is better than this.

Wasn't it rumored that coldfront WAS created by CN players?

unlikely, as coldfront has existed since at least 2004

ahhh paranoid lies then


doesn't surprise me considering the source.

Yeah, I doubt many alliance will move to a server where other players are IRCops.

Coldfront already has IRCops that are players fyi.

True, but they're largely anonymous, unlike the first IRCop on this new server.

Tbh it's not IRCops being CN players that is the problem, it's if they're admins on the server.

I believe GPA already tried this back in the day, and the issue of alliance security was brought up, and rightfully so.

That would be my concern as well.
Not to be too paranoid, but things around here don't inspire much faith.
