Please stand by until the netsplits are over.

This is also going to involve switching out the ircd on each server, so you'll have to reconnect to the network to avoid being killed as we move the remaining leaves.

The simplest way of going about this is just reconnecting to irc.anonnet.org by typing "/server irc.anonnet.org" (sans quotes) at 0000GMT. If you're using WebIRC/mibbit, a refresh of the page should do. However, things usually tend to go wrong somewhere, so if you find yourself stuck on the old network, you should probably blame your ISP for not propagating DNS changes quickly enough. If this happens, try connecting to either slut.anonnet.org, ate.anonnet.org or rick.anonnet.org, which have already been migrated to the new system. It should be OK for you to reconnect to the normal address in a few hours if this is the case. We'll try to keep the services database as recent as possible, but if you've registered your nick in the couple of minutes before the migration, you might have to redo it.

As always, if you have any problems, /join #help, or ask on the forum.

Any users who connect directly to rick are requested to use the round robin until it is back online (shouldn't be more than a couple of hours).

You will therefore experience some downtime while this is taking place - just reconnect to irc.anonnet.org if you lose your connection, or refresh the page if you're using webirc.

The restructuring will be taking place at 16:00 UTC (17:00 BST, around 45 minutes from now), and shouldn't take more than a few minutes. If you have any problems, /join #help.

To put it simply, we're sorry. AnonNET was originally started due to abuse on a different network, and so we obviously want to avoid going the same way. If you see anything you consider to be abuse, post it on the forum (you can remain anonymous if you so wish), or /msg another oper. We want to get this sorted out before it causes any more problems.

On the upside, we're currently developing some new features, so every channel will be able to have their own wiki and/or forum hosted directly on anonnet.org. This might take a while to sort out though, so bear with us.

Thank you for your continued support.

But on the upside, we now have a shiny new hub - which should improve connectivity and reduce downtime to practically 0, as we are currently in the proccess of setting up a backup hub which will automatically relink servers should the main hub fail.

Please connect to irc.lostthega.me while we wait it out.

Update: Everything should be OK now. Any problems, /join #help.

If you have trouble connecting or know folks who are having trouble, use rick.nottheface.net, irc.whyweprotest.net or irc.lostthega.me.

We are sorry for the downtime and we hope that you were not distrupted yesterday by the splits.

The box that hosts freshprince.anonnet.hub has been under attack, so servers under that hub are currently split. If this continues for much longer we'll route around it, but at the moment we're waiting to see if it subsides. We were also affected by a brief awknet outage, which appears to be back to normal now.

The problem has been sorted temporarily, and the DNS servers are being moved to 3 different networks - this should help with reliiability. Thanks for your patience.

If you are connected to irc.anonnet.org then there will be no problems, however if you are connected straight to boxxy.anonnet.org you will need to connect to irc.anonnet.org for to duration of the downtime.

Thank You.

If you connect via irc.anonnet.org, or mibbit, this should not have an impact on you. If you connect directly to a leaf, you may want to use irc.anonnet.org during the maintenance.
