Well, since Thrusday a particular person DDoS'ed the entire mIRC-X network over some argument. In response, the mIRC-X network is closing down because they don't have the time or money to fight this. Most of the channels that were on mIRC-X are now on Aniverse (which I think is down for an upgrade) and EnterTheGame as well.

For more information:

Also, from the person who claims to have done it:

His actions caused another IRC network to be siezed by the FBI:

Probably on EFNet, or EnterTheGame, or some other channel

It seems that it might be on EnterTheGame.

However, no one seems to know what network to go to, and it seems that DDoSer follows wherever anybody goes

Just submitted a news item on this. IRC just took a big step into the grave.

It seems that most groups are emmigrating to irc.rizon.net
