    I noticed that but that is what happend when I plugged irc.synchro.net into hexchat in the server name field and told it to connect. I did *not* put *any* info in there for endofthelinebbs.com.

    irc.synchro.net is a rotating hostname, it points to *all* of the IRC servers (and there's a lot of them). That can be seen using tools like nslookup, host, dig, etc.:

    If Dumas wishes to use secure IRC then he's going to need to pick a server rather than relying on the irc.synchro.net alias since, as he discovered, it's not likely to work.

    irc.endofthelinebbs.com is a reliable server than can be used for secure connections on port 6697.

    Do you remember when you ranted about facebook? File this under the same BS. If it was my project and a contributor decided they didn't want to bother following along in the BBS support echo... you know, for a BBS software project... they'd be off the project.

    So I'm fired? That should improve things around here.

    Well, I heard you do break more than you fix.
