After being present for more than 20 years on the Freenode network, we are moving our IRC channels to the OFTC IRC network!

Will there be channel logs available for this new network as well?

3

Not yet established. At least we have not yet found a service that logs any OFTC channels yet…

4

Does anybody have a description of how to set-up vision to connect to the new irc server?

5

just change chat.freenode.net / irc.freenode.net to irc.oftc.net

6

Does not connect atm? Is Server on?

64bit Haiku is working 32bit not yet.

What is that / in the server name? I think it should not be there.

I have personally tested this on 32bit Haiku and can tell you that it is working fine.

I made a similar mistake. The port for a ssecure connection is 6697, not 6667.

I think he means change the address from either chat.freenode.net or irc.freenode.net (depending on what you have in your config) to irc.oftc.net. That´s how I interpreted it anyway :wink:

You can find a short guide on how to configure Vision for the OFTC network and how to register your nickname in the blog post Registering your nickname for IRC.
