Strange Rejoins and IPv6

Strange, after undergoing a server move due to instability, has rejoined the network. It is now located in Amsterdam, Netherlands and is still provided by Shaun. This server move should produce more reliable connectivity, especially for users located in Europe. For these users, we added the round-robin “eu.mintirc.net” to automatically connect you to a European server.

With this server move, we now offer IPv6 connections on Strange. Simply resolve irc.mintirc.net to an AAAA record and you will be connected to the network via IPv6. We hope this new service offering will help facilitate the growing move to IPv6 networking.

As a note, we have also added ports 9999 and 7000 as SSL ports for the network (We still offer port 6697). Thanks for using MintIRC!
