So, you open up your favorite IRC client and are ready to get down and dirty with #hak5, you connect to irc.hak5.org and join #hak5, but wait, you're suddenly on Zone-9 IRC and have no idea why? Let me explain
Earlier today Hak.5s DNS was updated, and irc.hak5.org now points to irc.zone-9.org instead of irc.mintirc.net. Does this mean #hak5 is gone? Of course not, it may have a facelift in the way of getting a new name, but apart from that all the channel regulars will still be there. How can I fix this? Simple! Simply change your auto connect script/client feature to point to irc.mintirc.net instead of irc.hak5.org (Unless you want to chill in #hakhouse of course) and then join #hak5, you will then be welcomed back by all your old, and possibly new buddies. Thanks for reading~ Joeeigel. --------------------  |

For whatever reason (likely because it's the channel that the crew have displayed on a screen at home), it was decided that #hakhouse would be the new official channel rather than #hak5, so they have a redirection in place and #hak5 is a hidden channel. Basically, #hakhouse is the official channel, but everyone's used to going to #hak5, it just sends you to the correct new channel. #hak5 on Zone9's network, as far as users are concerned, does not exist. You're not missing anything by not being in there.

Ah OK. I'm just confused because it used to be a normal channel.

If you would like to connect to the old #hak5, connect to irc.mintirc.net instead of irc.hak5.org

#hak5 has become full, so you are automatically being transferred to the linked channel #init6

It's homosexual? That's news to me. I didn't know channels had sexual preferences.
