IRC Users in Australia

Dear AO community,

this post is directed at all those irc users that used to use a server named Austnet.

Rumors have been spreading around, and the facts dont look to good either, that Austnet no longer exists and will never be resurrected. please look at this link to see the "official" site for Austnet. http://austnet.cable.nu/

If this is true and austnet will never be again, which servers have you all turned to?? and also, i would like to confirm that if two people are on different servers, but on the same channel, that they cannot communicate.

Just thought i would like to bring it forward because really, for me, and other irc users out there in australia, this is really a disaster as we have to recolect and find out which server is best and then register under that server and all the rest of the bs.

Your Friend,
