Frenchy68 0 #26 September 29, 2005 QuoteHello, Oh boy a thread about me!! I'm so excited!! Anyway, I'm not sure exactly what happened last night as I don't keep a log of what happens in the chat room anymore (ask the old timers and they'll tell you why - what happens in the pub stays in the pub.) So just to set the record straight, I did NOT kick you or anyone for no apparent reason. There are a couple of reasons why I can see why you got kicked: 1) You were just an asshole immediately from the start and I manually kicked you. Unlikely, as it's been quite a few weeks since I kicked anyone for being a dick. 2) You were flooding the channel. Text Flood Protection triggers when there are more than 4 lines within one second of each other. 3) Server splits/rejoins. When the server splits and joins people come and go all the time. It may seem like I am kicking you out, but in reality I have no control over this. A few others said that they couldn't get into the chatroom after you posted. This is probably the most likely scenario. 4) Very rare - when I am roaming my work campus with IRC running, I have been known to randomly kick people out as I join/leave the chat room between wireless APs. This has happened once that I can think of, and I try to remember to shut down my IRC when travelling with laptop. And to be quite honest, I wasn't even around my computer last night from 6PM-11PM PST (when this supposed kicking/banning was taking place.) More than likely it was the server acting up. Just so everyone knows - the irc server is not mine. It doesn't belong to anyone here on dz.com. however I created the room (or actually took ownership from slappie) but that gives me the power to run the room. And as many people have stated here so far - I don't abuse the power - that's GFD's job. So chill dude.. Come back in now, if you want and we can talk about it. GFD and I are in there now laughing about this. Later. You forgot about the Z-Line thingie... Still can't connect though...

Cornholio 0 #31 September 29, 2005 Sorry Frenchy, it looks like you're still blocked from work or wherever you are. You and Chaoskitty can try these alternate connections: irc.xircn.net ports 6667-6668 and 7000 irc.atheme.org ports 6667-6668 and 5000 irc.atheme.net ports 6667-6668 and 5000 (points to multiple servers) channel #dropzone And there's one more, but I can't think of it right now. If you're not able to connect on those ports, then you're probably not going to be able to connect to any irc sever. Sorry - Tell your firewall sysadmin to lighten up and open some irc ports!
