Of course they aren't, because they're all on an IRC channel sharing with each other totally differerent chains.  We're talking chains that are nearly 1000 blocks different size-wise.
Why can't we turn off all the eliesus nodes? if you turned off your three nodes (that you said aren't even running the daemon anyways) and we turned off the IRC channel, nobody would know how to talk to anybody else.  Then start by announcing nodes that are on the correct chain, to connect to via addnodes.
The IRC functionality is just asking for a fork.  and yes, there is also a #huntercoin02

otherwise just release an emergency version update and modify the IRC channel to use a different one, then make sure that you have only got the correct fork daemons on that channel when poeople start to join it.
