New Chat Server

[Prof. Sindor Aloyarc]

After many valued years with Blitzed, HOL has hopped over to Mibbit as our primary IRC server!

If at any time you’re unable to access our Chatrooms through the main site, you may use their Launch Mibbit Client option. Please add some version of your member name as the nick, and #hol (or your preferred destination) in the channel box.

This connects you to the appropriate server and port automatically. If you prefer using another IRC client, it is very important for you to update the following information when connecting, or you will not find yourself in the correct chat.

Server: irc.mibbit.net
Port: 6667

There seems to be an issue with validation emails going to gmail addresses, so if you have an address with an alternative provider, it may be better to use that one to register your nick. Some are also receiving confirmations to their spam folder.

Thanks to everyone for your patience these last few days since the Blitzed servers went down unexpectedly. We ask that you continue extending the same courtesy while everyone settles in, and we discover how Mibbit suits the needs of the castle.

Please brush up on the Chat Rules. Particularly if you’re relatively new to these programs and channels, or returning after a hiatus.

If you find your email isn’t receiving a confirmation code message, use the following command to force that nick to drop, then try an address from a different provider without having to wait two days.

/msg NickServ DROP Nickname
