What happened to chat?

For some reason I can't get on chat, it's some type of error.
Is there a reason to this?

The Chat is already down for the whole day.

SO that's it..
I guess this can be locked now.

Waitwaitwait, before this gets locked, does anyone know why it's down? Is stardustfields being DDoSed as well?

EDIT: According to the SMBX.org client, they're updating the IRC's security measures. Probably related to the DDoS attack yesterday. Case closed.

If anyone still wants on IRC, the #smbx on kottnet is still a working channel. #teatime and #nsmbx on Espernet are also viable places to go.

It's on the same network as the forum with the same IP. If one goes down they both go down.

Just so there's no confusion:

- We are working on getting everything fixed.
- The server (which hosts this site as well as Stardust Fields and StarNet) was DDoS'd yesterday but that has stopped.
- Any other downtime you see is caused by us.
- #teatime and #nsmbx are not channels we support and anything you see there is not reflective of this site.
