Deuce is the author of letsyncrypt and you can find him #synchronet
at irc.synchro.net.

Do you remember when you ranted about facebook? File this under
the same BS. If it was my project and a contributor decided they
didn't want to bother following along in the BBS support echo...
you know, for a BBS software project... they'd be off the project.

I agree, irc is a stupid support channel for a serious issue. not everyone
is connected to it and the ourcome of the fix isn't being preserved like
it would be in a msg net. you could try emailing him but i don't think he does that either.

have you changed anything lately? was it working before?
I set it up with datastream and it was pretty painless.

I'm not running multiple sub domains on datastream, though.

I would suggest ripping out everything you did and redoing it. just to make sure you didn't forget something. I also see you dont have sysopemail in .ini
file. maybe it's optional, maybe it needs it. try putting it in.

Try just doing it with one domain and see if it works. maybe you found a bug, maybe you missed something.

And, of course, the irc is broken, too:

Looking up irc.synchro.net
* Connecting to irc.synchro.net (192.138.210.158:6697)

irc.synchro.net doesn't support TLS (port 6697) because it's a revolving hostname: use regular non-encrypted IRC on port 6667 or connect to a direct server hostname like cvs.synchro.net instead.

You should also have this option on your Chat menu, which works, by default:

another thing though is he's doing this for free and he isn't obligated.
but it would be nice if he answered emails or wrote better docs :D

did you CHANGE anything?
