I've been in there the past few days, and I can't find any reason why, but it says my IP address has been banned and I can't join the channel.
I dont know if it's a mistake, but if it's not, i'd at least like to know what I did...

Hey, at least you could get in at all. My University has IRC servers blocked, so I can't even ever hope to get in. -_- I miss the old chat room that was actually on the forums...

Someone with a similar isp was banned and it affected youuuuuu. You're unbanned now, sorry about that

can you connect through the java applet? do you have a router or a firewall?

someone else on the forums said that their university doesn't allow people to connect to irc networks...maybe you're in a similar situation?

hmm..you can connect through the applet but not mirc...it must be a mirc setting then. Well try connecting to synaptic.creativeirc.net

Type: /server synaptic.creativeirc.net:6667 and then once it connects, type: /join #Pinkpt

hope that works.

you can be on multiple servers by typing: /server -m synaptic.creativeirc.net

the -m opens another status window (assuming you have the latest version of mIRC)

btw, what network is #battledome on?

Yeah I've been there before, the only problem with GalaxyNet is that it's very insecure..meaning it's easy to get your IP there, whereas on CreativeIRC (where PPT's chat is) the network scrambles your IP. So your IP is cloaked and no one can get it.

..and because of this, you should move in and bring your friends.
