GamesNET Merges With PGPN

[CSN NewsBot]

The GamesNET IRC Network and Pro Game Players Network (PGPN) are proud to announce that they are merging and forming a new IRC Network, called GameSurge. Here's the official notice from Cradly, a GameSurge board member and network administrator:

The former staff of the GamesNET IRC Network have joined forces with PGPN to create a new IRC network called GameSurge. GameSurge offers more flexible access control, improved multi-language support, and retains all of your channel data. For more details, see http://www.gamesurge.net/.

The new IRC network will be located at irc.gamesurge.net. If you are worried about losing your clan's channel or your AuthServ account, don't be. All the settings from GamesNET and PGPN will be moved over to the new network. See the GameSurge website for more information.



As a GameSurge staff member, I am excited about what this new network brings to the gaming community. I hope that you will be excited as well, as GameSurge will continue to give you the same great IRC experience GamesNET and PGPN did.

Currently of course. I'm not sure, but my guess is that irc.gamesnet.net will just redirect you to gamesurge once it's completely setup

But how long will the redirection last?

[DigitalisAkujin]

domain registrations last for one year but i'm sure the 8 dollar renewal won't matter to GameSurge.

Redirections will last for a few days. It's better to just update your servers.ini or do /server irc.gamesurge.net

i'm not so interested... I'm not a mirc junkie or nothing



Two weeks since last poll update

So I'm guessing this has something to do with the court case?
