In all seriousness: We've moved to Freenode now, after a tip from Merlin. He claims that this network is very stable, so should this network also fail us, I suggest you blame him, and not me.

To connect to Freenode, you just switch wherever you entered "irc.spidernet.org" and replace it with "irc.freenode.net". You don't have to change ports.
Starting today, I deem the irc.spidernet.org network unofficial, and irc.freenode.net for the new, official newtork. This means that chats announced on the board should now be held on Freenode and not on Spidernet.
I'm also sorry that I had to put this news item on top of the last one, but there's nothing I can do to put it below. (which would also risk it not being read by anyone)
