irc.aol.com signed off for good (again) today. According to its admin, it was looked upon as a waste of hardware, time and money. We're sorry to see it go.

Yea, my guess is that they removed the servers because they couldnt make profit of them, and they would like to use the hardware and manpower to keep them running to do something else.bobjuh wrote:Look like AOL dislinked all there irc server also there undernet servers

Considering it was one of undernet`s primary hub i think the shock of its delink is worse for them then it is for us.
I dont know really, not much beeing said about it except that they are doing "some stuff" on their network so they are down for now. I wanted to make a news post about secsup and weblook , but cant seem to get any information at all about it... so i guess no one knows for sure.wundr wrote:i know it's not really related to this, but what is the story on irc*.secsup.org ? are they coming back, or are they gone permanently?
(mods, if you post another news item about this, go ahead and delete this post.)
out of curiosity, what is the avg spec's for an ircd machine now? forgoing the bandwidth requirements, does the hardware have to be that great so as to make aol(or any company) want to take the two server machines(i assume 1 for efnet, 1 for undernet) and use them for something else. lord only knows aol already has football fields of server in the trenches.
getting that in a standard case, yes. getting all that in a 1U rackmount usually isn't quite as easy. and you don't want to pick a cheap NIC like linksys, you usually want to go for a higher end server class NIC (cheaper NICs will take more of a CPU hit under heavy load).
and you want a server class motherboard that is designed for that type of environment. cheaper motherboards whine when you boot it without keyboard, or a monitor, which is necessary in a rack environment.
