songfight.net links cleanup

Post by jast »

A few issues on the landing page on songfight.net:

MG's wiki has been offline for years.
The IRC channel has moved to OFTC (irc.oftc.net) because the previous location (Mibbit) shut down. We haven't been in euIRC (as indicated in the text) in a very long time.
Technically, Twitter no longer exists.
somesongs doesn't really exist anymore, either.

While we're at it, I also went through the list of resources:

Wow, thanks for the thorough review. I think I fixed/removed all those.
