LFNET IRC is down it seems - or maybe not...

[markm]

Bitcoin recently remove IRC as a means of finding connection, due to LFNET being down.

The IRC net being down is probably why someone was unable to find Ixcoin connections recently, and will effect new users of all coins that rely upon IRC to find connections.

Is there some other IRC net all the coins should be updated to use, or is IRC method simply going to have to go?

EDIT: Ha, right after I posted I saw in Tenebrix's debug.log that it did connect to IRC. So I guess its not always down...
