You may or may not have been aware of the problems with ZiRC, but the short of it is that all server admins took their ball servers and went home started a new network, synIRC, a few weeks ago.
Most channels are moving away from ZiRC, but I wanted to wait until I found out more about why this happened, both to find out if there was a legitimate reason, and to get an idea of how long-lived synIRC (and ZiRC itself) would be.
Now that I got that answer (tl;dr: prince is a self-important drunk and the only person running ZiRC right now), we are, indeed, moving. The only question remains, to which network?

I’d like to avoid networks without services (EFnet) or with retarded ones (QuakeNet), and ones with a large known population of idiots (DALnet, EsperNet), but other than that, I don’t particularly care.

#pharyngula will probably move with it, though that’s open to discussion, since that’s not just “my” channel.

Edit: ‘kay, apparently we’re moving #pharyngula with it.
