Alpha was DDoSed and the company we had rented the server closed it.
You can request change or wait until we rent from another company.
To request change please type:
for eggdrop: /msg veselba eggdrop change approved From Alpha To Epsilon
for znc: /msg veselba znc change approved From Alpha to Epsilon

We diagnosed a 'problem' with delaying you when you add server in znc and try to connect to it:
[21:18:36] <*status> Connecting...
[21:51:56] <*status> Connected!
You can see.. 30 minutes to connect to IRC Server.
This is because we've put a delay setting in IRC to avoid larger irc networks refusing its clients for fast connecting.
Imagine we have 20 users for Efnet. Then Vega is restarted for maintenance. Imagine if they all connect at the same time.. The server will thorttle and g-line them for 'fast connecting' from one host.
So this is why there is a delay.
However we decreased the delay and removed some inactive users and will add users to Alpha from now on. So if there is a delay now it should be very short (within minute or two).
We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
UPDATE: The problem still persists, we are trying to solve it.

Epsilon oidentd has bugged and all users have ident "irc". We are working on fixing it.
