After almost two months of prodding, The Listkeeper and Nick have finally got me to break out the wallet of destiny. I have purchased hosting and Nick is setting it up as I type this. irc.wordforge.net here we come.
And I'm going to bed. All security settings as harsh as we can set em at this point, then we back down as we learn the software, ok?
I'm working on getting it setup. So far you can access it from 66.252.11.10:6667. I have to get the irc.wordforge.net to point at it, and get services setup.
