It has been down quite a few hours now, at least since mid-afternoon EDT. I'd also seen it happen for minutes at a time since this past Saturday.
I know that I'm a lowly user, but I think it is safe to say that Dixiesys isn't very reliable anymore. Because of this, I think that it may be time to either find another IRC server that doesn't have a network attachment to others globally, or else one of us run our own- which is extremely easy and requires little technical knowledge and/or experience.
Besides, I personally enjoy having my chat fix.
At any rate *ahem*, yes- it does appear that irc.dixiesys is down *again* from my end of things (their web services are up and running normally, however). At least, I can't ping irc.dixiesys.net from my location at this time. Which means...
K6Plus Chat is once again currently down- seemingly.
Thanks,

I agree, our home connections are probably far less reliable than what we're using now.
I sent an email to you earlier, Nohr. There's a hosting solution that appears to be very decent and only costs $6/mo for up to 125 users at once. At that price, even I am willing to pitch in. They also give some disk space (I assume mainly used for hosting a small web site)- 500MB. So, it's very inexpensive, plus this place does nothing but host this sort of stuff. Plus, if no one cares about a specific domain address, people could log in to (for example) k6plus.the-irc.org with a separate client, and the flash-based one here could be modified (of course). Using the sub-domain addy on their system is free.

It seems like a really good deal to me.
