-We keep irc.afternet.org freshly stocked with stable servers, and we remove servers from the irc.afternet.org listing prior to scheduled maintenance or downtime. Alternatively, you can use one of the regional addresses below:
+We are currently testing a feature where the irc.afternet.org address automatically directs you to a nearby server. For example, a user in the Western United States will automatically reach a Western US server when using irc.afternet.org, while a user in France will automatically reach one of our European servers. In the event all our European servers were offline for maintenance, the French user would be automatically redirected to a server in the Eastern US.
