Still can't chat :(

CyberBrats Chat

Piper's picture

The chatroom is still up, it's just a DNS issue and the webchat that is down. I will be getting them back as time permits. We should be fully up 100% today.

You could've...

Told me the IP address so I could bypass the DNS issue in the interim ;)

Not an IP address...

That's not an IP address and it's not resolving to one on my end. That's a DNS address.

IRC Server IP Address

Piper's picture

I linked to that article as it listed available ports, and an alternative working DNS. But here's the basic information you asked for:

[@jolie ~]$ nslookup ellesmera.dragonaerie.de
Server: 4.2.2.2
Address: 4.2.2.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: ellesmera.dragonaerie.de
Address: 46.4.52.121

ok...

It must be something with my client. I still couldn't find host even with the IP address, so I tried a ping on command console and even with the ellesmera.dragonaerie.de DNS address it pinged okay. I suppose I could try raw telnet... Or one of the web chats.

CyberBrats DNS

Piper's picture

Try connecting to IRC.CyberBrats.Org on ports 6667 for standard IRC or 6697 for SSL enabled client (we use Self-Signed SSL certs so allow for that). That DNS is a round-robin DNS for Ellesmera2.de.eu.cyberbrats.org and Reba.TX.US.CyberBrats.Org

We also have the aliases EU.CyberBrats.ORg for when we add more EU centered servers and US.CyberBrats.Org for when we add more US based servers. We aren't using any real load balancing just basic Roundrobin DNS.

P.S. WebChat will be back shortly at the address http://chat.bigclosetr.us but I'm working on it still.

OK

Know wonder why I could long in .

Chat available on the old Tavern of Narda site

There also is the java chat on the old Tavern of Narda site from the time when we still had time to translate the Gaby Saga into German.
Please have a look at http://narda.tor-der-traeume.de/index.php?action=chat

Yes, it's JAVA and might show warnings. But at least it is running for now. We're working on porting it to a more modern version soon.

I just installed java...

Cuz I didn't have it because I never use it anymore normally, and this link does not work. The applet itself seems to be broken.

Crystal's Back...? Really?

Maybe I'm missing something! I try using the link on the masthead , and Crystal's site does NOT resolve.

Were you talking about Crystal's Storysite, right?

CrystalHall vs Crystal's/StorySite.Org

Piper's picture

They were speaking of CrystalHall. StorySite will be back up in a few hours.
