Certified Secure IRC
For that old-school feel and for everbody who does not have the patience for a forum, Certified Secure is hosting an IRC server. The server is reachable on hacking.certifiedsecure.com, port 9999. The server *only* accepts SSL connections, so make sure you correctly configure your client.
A connect-password is also required:
"ifrsbnjljgwznpyjwstzjjswtyufxxbtwi"
(Attention: password is scrambled with ROT31 for fun/filtering/anti-spam, reverse it!)
Unix Client: http://www.irssi.org
(/connect -SSL hacking.certifiedsecure.com 9999
Windows Client: http://www.mirc.com (http://www.mirc.com/ssl.html)
ps, this workaround may help Pidgin users who have trouble connecting.
