We'll be moving to DALnet after the match, because they let you register channels without delay. Hopefully they'll be easier to connect to as well for those having difficulties.
Can we use JWIRC to connect to MIRC? If I am not wrong JWIRC can be easily linked with PHPbb, in which I guess that this forum is build from. If we can link this it will be better since most ppl will have problem connecting to MIRC due to firewall issue.
