Yes, before everyone jumps around and cries OMG Totse.info can't keep up an IRC server running, Paco server is down because he is fucking Hurricane Irene. As soon as he finished making sweet love to her, you will see the server up. In the mean time, you can just come in TS and chat and play TF2 or just have fun.

Well, TS pretty much covers the IRC part brah.
I've was actually thinking about just hosting the IRC server on the totse server, but I'm unsure of how much this would damage security. How has your experience been? I'd like to do it, I just don't need the added headache of dealing with the cleanup from an exploit that takes the server down.
I've never heard of any security issues. Our server is very fast to connect to because it's got virtually no load in comparison to the large networks with nazi irc cops.
I am probably going to have to re-install also. I don't think I picked the SSL package. I can backup my config files and then re-install and copy the config files back. Shouldn't take long at all.
Personally I'd like to run IRC and other chat services, MySQL and our webhost on separate servers but that's not in the budget right now.
^That and we have better alternatives to IRC already.
We just need to install and host a bot to keep the room open. I tried mucking about with eggdrop and one of the free shell accounts last night but i got a headache and i didn't fully understand it.
or if someone has to a server he could create the channel and put the process in the bg.
EDIT: The process of creating a channel is not difficult. join efnet (or any open server) and join the #totse channel as if it exists, it doesn't exist so the server will create one for you and you become OP.
