There are multiple ways to connect to ReplayIRC. We have them listed below for you to check out and use!

SGC server has moved

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 09:22:31 -0400

We have relocated the SGC server to a newer - a bit more powerful server. Thanks to Canto for this server upgrade. The old server will remain online for a few more weeks and will be retired permanently soon there after as the new SGC server will take its place.

IRC server upgrades delayed

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:28:12 -0400

We have delayed the roll out of our next IRC server software to the network... it is still being worked on!

Within a month or two, the updates will come out.

DNS Server Issues / IRC network issues

Thu, 21 May 2009 18:27:15 -0400

It has come to our attention that our DNS servers have been having intermittent issues through out the past few days. We have taken a look at the servers to make sure each one is functioning - That should be the case now. At the source of this issue, we found out that all three of our DNS servers were being flooded for requests of irc.replayirc.com from hundreds (if not thousands) of hosts across the globe. This attack sadly was able to knock out two of the three name servers for ReplayIRC - leaving the third one unable to keep up with the extensive requests. This has been resolved now (read: tweaked the firewall a lot/restarted DNS servers).

Lastly, I would like to apologize for the issues with the US to EU server uplink this past week. About this time of year it seems that the servers will never fail to split over and over due to backbone maintenance. Sadly, we do not get notifications in regards to internet backbone updates.

Thanks for your cooperation.

SGC in (s)norway offline soon...

Sun, 03 May 2009 06:53:50 -0400

Our SGC server located in Norway will be offline soon for hardware upgrades. Please use irc.replayirc.com or eu.replayirc.com for the time being.

Aus and Tollana offline for a while

Sun, 03 May 2009 06:44:05 -0400

Our Australian server as well as one of the European servers located in Germany will be offline for a little while. The Aus server will be offline due to IP changes. That server should be back online in a few days. The Tollana server in Germany will be back online soon after the data-center move has been completed and stability has set back in.

EN: Fan-Chat with Robert Hewitt Wolfe!

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 23:33:13 -0400

Just in time for Easter, we’ve got a special surprise for you. The German Scifi Forum – in association with ReplayIRC ‐ organizes a fan chat with Robert Hewitt Wolfe, the creative mind behind some of the most popular science fiction TV series.

In our fan chat, you have the opportunity to ask Robert anything you’d ever liked to know about the shows and behind the scenes for an entire hour. If he’s got some additional time left after that part, it may become a loose discussion circle.

Our session begins on Tuesday, April 14th at 19:00 GMT.

About Robert Hewitt Wolfe
Robert Hewitt Wolfe was born in 1964 and currently lives in Los Angeles.
He visited the UCLA and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in film and television as well as an MFA in screenwriting. His first script was “Paper Dragons”.

Five years later, he sold the story for "A Fistful of Datas“ tot he series "Star Trek: The Next Generation“. Robert wrote the script for the episode and thus secured himself a job in the new series “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”.

In 1999, RHW developed the series "Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda“ from notes left behind by Roddenberry himself. The series first aired in fall 2000 and became the “number one original hour in syndication” – a title that it kept for most of its run. RHW was the head writer of Andromeda and
executive producer for the first two seasons. During this period, the series was nominated for two “Saturn Award for Best Syndicated Series” and a “BC Film Comission ‘Leo’ Award for Best Dramatic Series”.

RHW left Andromeda in fall 2001.

Furthermore, he was busy as producer in various TV shows and films, such as "The 4400“, "Scarlett“ and "The Dresden Files“. Currently, he is working on a script for the relaunch of “Riverworld”.

How and when do I participate?

The event takes place on the channel #scifi‐forum
If you do not yet have an IRC client installed, you can use the webchat with any browser of your choice: http://widget.mibbit.com/url/t6acL3
In order for the session not to turn into chaos, the chat will be moderated for one hour, which means that only Robert and the moderators may talk freely in the channel. To submit your questions, use the following command:

Code:

/msg Q your question

If your question is picked up, it will show up on the channel and Robert will reply to it. After the Q/A session, the channel will be opened for free discussion for everyone.

We look forward to our creative guest and hope that you’ll have a lot of fun during the session!

Quote:Pünktlich zur Osterzeit haben wir eine ganz besondere Überraschung für euch. Das Scifi-Forum veranstaltet in Kooperation mit ReplayIRC einen Fan-Chat mit keinem geringeren als Robert Hewitt Wolfe, dem kreativen Kopf hinter einigen der bekanntesten Science Fiction Serien.
In unserem Fan-Chat habt ihr die Gelegenheit, Robert eine Stunde lang mit euren Fragen zu löchern. Sollte er danach noch etwas Zeit haben, kann daraus noch eine lockere Diskussionsrunde werden.

Unsere Session beginnt am kommenden Dienstag, dem 14. April um 21 Uhr.

Über Robert Hewitt Wolfe

Robert Hewitt Wolfe wurde 1964 geboren und lebt derzeit in Los Angeles.

RHW besuchte das UCLA und schloss mit einem "Bachelor's degree in Film and Television" und einem "MFA in Screenwriting" ab.

Sein erstes Drehbuch war "Paper Dragons".

Fünf Jahre später verkaufte er die Story für "A Fistful of Datas" an die Serie "Star Trek: The Next Generation". Robert schrieb das Drehbuch für die Episode und sicherte sich damit einen Job in der neuaufkommenden Serie "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".

1999 entwickelte RHW anhand von Notizen von Gene Roddenberry die Serie "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda". Die Serie ging erstmals im Herbst 2000 auf Sendung als die "number one original hour in syndication". Eine Position, die sie die meiste Zeit ihrer Sendung auch hielt. RHW betreute "Andromeda" als "Head Writer" und Ausführender Produzent für die ersten beiden Staffeln. Während dieser Zeit wurde die Serie für zwei "Saturn Award for Best Syndicated Series" und für einen "BC Film Commission 'Leo' Award for Best Dramatic Series" nominiert.
RHW verließ im Herbst 2001 Andromeda.

Desweiteren war er als Produzent in den Serien/TV-Filmen "The 4400", "Scarlett" und "The Dresden Files" tätig. Aktuell agiert er als Drehbuchautor für eine Neuauflage von "Riverworld".

Wie und wo nehme ich teil?
Die Session wird im IRC (Internet Relay Chat) auf ReplayIRC stattfinden. Wer bereits einen IRC-Client wie z.B. mIRC oder XChat hat - hier die Infos:

Server: irc.replayirc.com
Channel: #scifi-forum

Alle User ohne vorinstallierten IRC-Client können auch einfach den Webclient mit dem Browser ihrer Wahl nutzen: Mibbit IRC client widget

Damit die Frage/Antwort Session nicht ins Chaos ausartet, wird der Chat für die Stunde lang moderiert sein, d.h. nur Robert und die Moderatoren können frei im Channel reden. Eure Fragen stellt ihr dann mit folgendem Befehl (vorzüglich auf englisch):
Code:
/msg Q Eure Frage 
Wird eure Frage ausgewählt, erscheint sie im Channel und Robert wird darauf antworten. Nach der Stunde Q/A Session wird der Channel zur freien Diskussion für alle User geöffnet.

Wir freuen uns bereits sehr auf unseren kreativen Gast und hofft, ihr werdet viel Spaß an der Chat-Session haben. Fragen zur Organisation, Technik usw. beantworten wir natürlich gerne auch vorab hier im Forum!

Wir bedanken uns zudem bei Darth.Hunter, der mit dieser Idee zu uns kam und welcher alles Organisiert hat.

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 08:47:49 -0400

Just would like to make a mention that the IRC services will be offline for about an hour this weekend for some maintenance to be done. This down time will be during our off peak hour on the network.

Looking for webhosting?

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 09:06:29 -0400

Just wanted to put this out there for anyone that is interested. WraithGD has recently opened up web hosting at ReplayWebhosting. Check out the website by clicking this: http://www.replaywebhosting.com/

Feel free to take up the offer with him. It helps to subside the cost of running the server as well.

ReplayIRC now going pay per message!

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 10:18:41 -0400

Hello, to help combat server costs due to the bad economy... At this time we are implementing an auto payment system per each message sent via the IRC network channels.

To Get Setup and continue using ReplayIRC's fine IRC servers. You will need to send a message on connect, known as the login on connect with your credit card information. It will be automatically charged per message sent to the server's payment system. The transactions are quite secure and fast.

This will allow us to obtain new servers and much likely cut off the spam that has plagued ReplayIRC's servers during the past few months. Thank you for reading.

edit; A little update to add!
ChanServ is now known as ChanPerv, as it is always in every registered channel watching you.
AntiSpam is now known as the largely media hyped CONFICKER worm!

Webchat.ReplayIRC.com is working again

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 07:12:29 -0400

Apparently after the apache upgrade that I performed on the server, it killed webchat.replayirc.com! That has been resolved now and should function as intended once more. Sorry for any issues. So, if you do not wish to use the java chat, the webirc portal is once again online! Click: http://webchat.replayirc.com

NoX.TX.US.ReplayIRC.com now as a full link!

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:01:12 -0400

I would like to take a moment that nox.tx.us.replayirc.com has successfully passed its trial and is now accepting users from anywhere to the server. The server is located in Houston, TX.

On a related subject, all irc servers are once again back into the irc.replayirc.com DNS round robin.

#IdleRPG returns from the dead...once more!

Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:53:28 -0400

Our IdleRPG has come back once more! It is now hosted by Muddy. So, get back to it in #IdleRPG ! It has some nifty new features to it that will work once we get more to jump in and play.

Are bots allowed?

Wed, 18 Mar 2009 08:19:44 -0400

Yes, friendly bots are allowed on our network. If your bot needs a little more room to flood, contact an oper in #ReplayIRC.

We do not allow of bots that are abusive to users, hacking/ddos aligned bots.

Welcome the NoX from Muddy!

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 06:40:33 -0400

We have finished linking in a new North American server, located in Houston, Texas, USA. The server is currently up for a two week trial period, we have high hopes that this will be a reliable server in the coming future!

The server admin is Muddy, it was donated by Aperture Science ( http://aperturescience.us )

#Support has been moved to #ReplayIRC

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 14:55:21 -0500

Just a quick run by: The support IRC channel has now been moved to the #ReplayIRC channel. Feel free to idle in #ReplayIRC. HelpServ is now also in #ReplayIRC so you still can message that bot for official help rather community help.

Stats Website Updated... a little.

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 22:45:11 -0500

I have nearly finished the work on the stats website located here: http://stats.replayirc.com ! If you would like to have stats for your IRC channel, message me (bc) on irc of the channel and I will add the StatServ bot to the channel.
