Title: The Official "I Hate Gamesurge" Thread
Post by: CryForMe on April 28, 2005, 04:36:23 PM

Ok, so i know all of you who idle on IRC are in the same boat as me, and i'd just like to say how much I hate gamesurge and their crappy crappy IRC servers that they run. In the last 24 hours, i've had over 20 disconnects immediately after a huge netsplit. It'd be ok if we could just connect again with no problem, but unfortunately gamesurge sees no need to fix the problem for several hours on end. Plus they always send global notices with things that nobody cares about...like (Global Notice::Talk live with the creator of just one of the textures on the original Unreal Tournament today in #stupidcrap! We hope to see all of you there!)
Down with gamesurge!

I think complaining to them would be more effective. We will all just agree and nod our heads. You could always go the way of QuakeNet for other things.

Personally I can't connect to GameSurge at all right now. Not a single one of their servers.

Actually I'm finding myself unable to connect to any IRC server. Very odd.

From what I understand, they're under fire from a distributed denial of service attack.

Can't connect here, either. I've tried every server they list at www.gamesurge.net/servers (http://www.gamesurge.net/servers) - none work!
Bleah.
