¶ok, so after looking at the "join us at IRC!" link i thought i had it. when i go to it in mirc i get: Connecting to domino.psychotik.ath.cx (6667)

• Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)

and this continues….indefinately. any help?

After a quick forum search: http://www.hellboundhackers.org/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=24&thread_id=14700#post_134740 Don't use it myself, but I assume it's still it.

i tried it, this is what i got:

• Connecting to psychotik.ath.cx (6697)

• Disconnected

• Connect retry #1 psychotik.ath.cx (6697) (dns pool)

• Disconnected

• Connect retry #2 psychotik.ath.cx (6697)

• Disconnected ….and this is indefinate, yet again

Did you tried to connect to psychotik.ath.cx:6697 with SSL?

You can only connect with SSL enabled.

/connect -ssl psychotik.ath.cx 6697

I also suggest you start using a less useless IRC client. (get irssi, or, if you're hooked to GUIs, x-chat).

Lets see here… what is the function of SSL? There's your answer.

To put it easier why wouldn't they use SSL, So everone can jack it?
