[gopher] Need a little help from one of the folks at sdf...

[Bradley D. Thornton]

Hey I've been unable to actually do more than merely log into my account 
over at sdf for quite some time.

At one point I believe I was told that it was an issue that would be 
taken care of, but that's been a while and I'm still just getting logged 
off whenever I try to login. The message I receive is that an update 
that will take 2 to 3 mins will run and then simply log on after that, 
but for me it just places me in that same loop, and now I'd like to see 
if I can get a server admin to help out  with correcting the issue w/o  
having to blast my old 6yr standing account away and just help me to get 
back into the fold.

IIRC, I first became a member way back in the late eighties or early 
nineties in college, and I realize that account was probably scrubbed a 
couple of decades ago but this current one goes back to 2011, and being 
the nostalgic person I am, I figure that, and would hope that, it can be 
retained.

Here's some screenies showing what I'm seeing and what happens whenever 
I log into my existing account:

Anyway, I'm going to post over on chan #helpdesk at sdf and our chan 
#gopherproject on freenode, but any assistance I can get in this regard 
from one of the three avenues would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, one more thing...

Is there a URI  or faq  that explains how to connect  via SSH to 
irc.sdf.org? There's nothing mentioned about it at 
http://sdf.org/?tutorials/irssi-auto and the server just refuses the 
connection on port 6697 when I try.

Kindest regards,

Bradley
