May 18, 2004 — Chat Program Down

Our chat room network, Afternet, was the victim of an attack yesterday that resulted in mass outages, and knocked out our chatroom gateway. Afternet hopes to have this problem fixed soon but it may be a few days before our gateway is functional again. Those of you with programs like mIRC and Trillian will still be able to access the room. If you have trouble, type /server calypto.us.afternet.org and you should reach us. We apologize to anyone who was trying to access the room and couldn’t. Hopefully Afternet will have everything fixed very soon.
