IRC is switching domains. No news on the site/tracker, probably won't be for some time to come until AB staff receive resolution on who the target of the domain seizure was. If AB was indeed the intended target, then AB will not ever be coming back and it is effectively the end of the site as per the sysop; if AB just happened to be caught in the crossfire of something else unrelated, then they'll figure out a plan to come back under a new domain name. AnimeBytes.tv is officially no more, but hopefully they'll be back under a different name sometime soon (possible working title of animefriends.moe, for the moment anyways?).

Please prepare to switch your IRC clients to "irc.animefriends.moe:+7000".
