Irc channel connection failed

[bloodycoathanger]

ive been trying to connect to the wolfire irc channel all day via the mibbit widget.
i get to finding hostname and then it says "Connection failed (Could not connect)"
i can see that there is 80 people online.
is anyone else having this problem?
any quick fix?
i already searched forums but no results

The mibbit works for me without any problems.

yea it worked for me for a week or 2, but when i got out of bed this morning it wouldnt work, didnt change anything here.
ill do a restart and delete cookies and stuff and see if i can get it up again.

*** its working now, i didnt restart yet or anything, must have just been some temporary connection issue

the guys in the IRC channel say that it was down for a little while earlier.
so problem solved

the wolfire IRC server was down for some time last night (gmt+2) i'm glad they fixed it

Phil and Jeff were updating the servers, and there was an error with IRC, that's why it was down for an extended period of time.
