IRC down?

@daveyw

I'm on Plusnet. (Am gonna install an IRC Client on my Windows box just to check)

Just out of interest. Is Wookiechat the only OS4 native irc client left? I thought there was a copy of AMIRC that run on PPC?

Cheers

I took my MicroA1 to work and plugged it into the external network.

It doesn't work on there either.

I suspect there is an issue with OS4/Internet Prefs or Wookiechat is no longer system friendly.

I believe that leaves us with ZERO IRC Clients for OS4.

There is AMIRC 68k that you could download and try. I have the PPC version, which is now, unfortunately, not possible to be found and downloaded anymore.

Wookiechat should work fine. I just tested it and connects just fine.

Here is a screenshot of how I set it up on Wookiechat




Which version of wookiechat do you use?

If you open a shell and write the following, what do you get?

ping irc.amigans.net

@walkero
THANKS!

It was the version of Wookiechat that was the issue. Was on 2.9 - Now on the last version of 2.11.

Looks like development ceased over a decade ago. Too bad, I would have given the developer a little thank you via a donation.

Cheers fella.

@daveyw

Upgrade to 2.11 - OS4Depot.

I am using 2.12beta5 here.

@walkero

Find me on #Amigans.

@Mikey_C

Already on 2.11

James left the Amiga scene some time ago and sold his Amiga. I doubt he will return.

@walkero

I can ping the server

but Wookiechat can't connect.

@orgin

Is the IRC service down again? Connection refused on my end. Also noticing that amigaworld.net is not responding, either.

@eliyahu

Amigaworld website is also down.
Presumably they are linked?

Cheers
