At around 0000GMT on 16/12/2009, we'll be moving some servers around which will ultimately improve the stability and reliability of the network (more distributed hub system, basically). 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.
