GameSurge, the IRC network that hosts channels for the Christian Gamers Alliance and Tribe of Judah, is under DDoS attack again.

Quoted from the GameSurge home page:

Again, our sincere apologies for the continuing netsplits. We are again under attack by people who are trying their level best to extort whatever they can out of the network. We are working hard to try to bring this to an immediate end. Thank you for your continued patience.

We apologize for today's frequent netsplits. All of GameSurge's servers have been the target of an ongoing coordinated DDoS attack. We appreciate your patience as we work on filtering the attack and stabilizing the network.

While the netsplits continue, #cga and #toj will remain unavailable to most users.

If anyone can suggest an alternative server while these attacks continue, please post a reply with the server details.
 
99% of the UT community is on EnterTheGame anyway. If we had a channel there we could post for scrimmages, which would be a big help.
 
At kraniac's suggestion, I'm on the line now with an ETG admin registering #toj. It seems I can't snag #cga for some reason, but I'll return to the channel soon and try again.
 
#toj has been registered on the EnterTheGame network.

kraniac: IM me some time so we can hop on the channel at the same time and I can give you ops. Also, if you think it would be helpful to register #toj-ut as well, let me know.

#cgalliance has been registered on the EnterTheGame IRC network.

#cga was already registered by Clan Grievous Angels, a European CTF clan. Nice guys. ^^

So fire up your IRC clients, join the EnterTheGame IRC network, and join #cga for chat or just idling.
 
According to the GameSurge site, the GS IRC network is starting to stabilize again.
Thank you for your patience and support over the past few weeks. We appreciate the hard work of many helpers and server admins who worked under difficult conditions. The network is beginning to stabilize and hopefully we will emerge stronger than before. Although we don't believe we are clear of the danger, we wanted to give our userbase an update. Our goal to provide the best 100% free gaming network hasn't wavered. Thanks again for your unwavering support.

I have been able to connect to GameSurge servers successfully the last few days and have returned to #cga and #toj.

Please re-configure your IRC clients to join channels #cga and #toj on the GameSurge network. I will maintain #cgalliance and #toj on the EnterTheGame network as backups.
