Hey everyone,
I ended up moving the IRC daemon to its own server. Hopefully that's the end of the issues with inspircd-3.0.0.
I apologize for the tumultuous IRC connection these last couple of days.
If you've specified the connection by hostname, eg institute.tilde.chat, then it should still work as soon as I can get the A-record updated.
Everything should be A-OK by the end of the night.
Let me know if you're still having issues after about 12 to 24 hours have passed.
Thanks, ~ahriman
