#KSPOfficial IRC down?

[Red Iron Crown]

I can't seem to connect to #KSPOfficial using the web client. It gets to the status page but gives no message of the day, and the following error message:

The page at webchat.esper.net says:

Couldn't connect to remote server.

Any idea what is happening?

The web client seems to be down. Not sure why, actually, but at the least the actual IRC servers are still running. If you download an IRC client (HexChat is pretty good for Windows), you can still connect; just input irc.esper.net as the server name, and #kspofficial for the channel.

Hexchat: "The program does not support the version of Windows you are running." Any other recommendations? (No install would be preferred.)

Eh? What version of windows are you running? I've had it working on everything I've tried it on.

Hmm, well, you could always try the ones listed here: http://www.pendriveapps.com/software/portable-irc-clients/

This machine is sadly stuck on XP. Thanks for the list, I'll check it out.

Edit: The portable version of XChat seems to work nicely, thanks vexx!

I informed with espernet and their webchat is indeed down. I've changed the link to a service that does work
