EFnet - Eris Free Network
<@doug> once again I'm all wrapped up in me.
As some of you might have noticed, irc.daxnet.no has been missing for some months now. It was officially confirmed on the admins-list earlier this week that the server has been delinked. The server was linked for about 10 years, and was taken offline as the company hosting it was bought up by another Internet provider.
As reported by The Register some Firefox script vulnerability forces unwanted IRC connections when exploited. EFnet`s server software blocks these types of requests sent by the browser so there is no disruptions for our users.

EFnet has granted efnet.multiplay.co.uk a trial link to the European portion of the network. The server is admined by Pumpkin and JamesOff and is open for anyone to connect

It has been a bad month for servers on efnet, as the third one now announces it`s delink. The sponsor of irc.dks.ca has decided to pull the link after 6 years on EFnet. The server was initially linked in July 2003. Thank you to the sponsor and staff of irc.dks.ca, and we wish them all good luck in the future.
