Forums Connection Issues Cant connect to a specific server

I'm not sure whether the services are down, but I usually use SwiftIRC sever and I haven't been able to connect to it for a few hours now. Every time i try to connect, it says:

[11:04:37] * Connect retry #1 irc.swiftirc.net (6667)
-
[11:04:42] * Unable to resolve server

I would appreciate some help

Thank you,
Jessie

It's down for everyone.

Hi Jessie, not sure what the problem is at swift, however I found 1 server I can connect with it is hades.de.eu.SwiftIRC.net if this doesnt work then use the IP 78.159.100.189
If I was to guess I would say the main server/hub is down and possibly taken the round robin or dns server with it.
Anyhow that should get you connected at least.
Be well

Nevermind, the IP address worked. Thank you so much!

Sincerely,
Jessie

you are most welcome, happy you managed to connect

"Nevermind, the IP address worked. Thank you so much!

Sounds more like a DNS issue than anything else.
