Hey ~clubbers!

I am just posting to see if anyone wants to join the IRC network I
recently took over. It was one that is my first IRC experience. So when
given the chance to take it over I jumped at that chance. would really
like to see it grow for the first time in probably 15-20 years.

Could use more users. I haven't mentioned on IRC since I feel that I
shouldn't advertise my other IRC network on the tilde.chat IRC network.
And I'm not real sure where I can mention it without burning bridges. I
like my bridges ;)

So here I am. :D

Its setup very similar to tilde.chat. IP's of users are hidden by
default. *admins of the network can see the IP's but users cannot.

Anyways the network is:

Newnet IRC Network https://newnet.net/

irc.newnet.net port: 6667(non-ssl) 6697(SSL)


Hope to see you there. :)

Hi ~deepend,

The tilde.club MOTD says something regarding the "local" IRC channels.
Those have something to do with the tilde.chat chatrooms?

~peron

P.S. Glad to see you there!

Nope, the "channels" are tied to IRC network; #club on tilde.chat
continues to be admins' contact point and Tilde.club members' hangout
of the *Tilde.chat* IRC universe; Tilde.club's existence
in other alternate universe [1] notwithstanding.

The thing that MOTD is speaking of is rather about the IRC *server*
that is running directly on Tilde.club (i.e. <irc://localhost:6667/>
when accessed from within the box); which since mid-2019 to today
and the next few days, has been being a warp point linking into
into Tilde.chat IRC universe, known from that side
as the gate <ircs://club.tilde.chat/>.

What MOTD announces is the destination change of <irc://localhost:6667/>
warp gate, to link into Newnet.net IRC universe. After the change, <ircs://club.tilde.chat/> entry point would be no more;
and Tilde.club would join the rank of Tildeverse servers
with no on-site Tilde.chat IRC node, like Tilde.pink, rw.rs,
breadpunk.club, and Tilde.guru.

If you are currently using IRC externally via <ircs://irc.tilde.chat/>,
then there would be no change to your IRC experience whatsoever;
you would continue to use Tilde.chat and its version of #club.

This notice is mostly of interest to people who have been using IRC
via on-Tilde.club TUI client connecting to <irc://localhost:6667/>.
Which, *if* they would like to continue using Tilde.chat's version of #club
and other channels, they would have to reconfigure the client
to explicitly go to Tilde.chat universe <ircs://irc.tilde.chat/> for that, after the IRC server restart on the changeover date,
or whenever it's convenient to them; whichever come first.

In any case, #club channel exists in both universes (as already stated
in the first paragraph); so whether you want to explore the new universe, become a cross-dimensional being (like me, haha), or stay in
the old universe; are likely depending more on which and where
you actually make use of IRC channels other than #club, I guess.

[1] At the time of this writing, there is an alternate-universe
version of #club channel, at Newnet.net IRC network;
governed by different rules. (This one and Tilde.chat's one
are not bridged together)

looks like you have that question handled wonderfully. Let me know if
there are further questions.

Thanks,
