Make sure you entered the logon info correctly. There are about 8 people on at present so it is working.

i dont know if any one is having this problem, but i keep getting this message when i goto sign in:

Code:

Closing Link: [] (Throttled: Reconnecting too fast) -Email kline(at)betaarchive(dot)co(dot)uk for more information.
-
* Disconnected
-
* Waiting 30 seconds...

i know it says im connecting too fast, but just starting the program now for the first time shouldn't do that, should it?

any info on that? i'd like to sign in.

Bender · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2006 9:17 am

prx984 · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2006 9:59 am

Bender · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2006 11:00 am

mIRC

http://mirc.com

prx984 · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2006 11:39 am

you have to pay for mIRC, correct? i dont pay for software that i can get freeware alternatives.

Bender · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2006 12:41 pm

its shareware, *cough* Google Groups *cough*

or use XChat http://silenceisdefeat.org/~b0at/xchat/win32/

or my favorite

Yeah, it's not working right now for me either. Didn't change anything; it was working day before yesterday and maybe yesterday morning.

Andy · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Thu Nov 09, 2006 3:44 am

It works for me and Koptor so I don't see why it won't work for anyone else.

* Disconnected ().

It just keeps doing that over and over. I really don't think I was k-lined for anything I did...Maybe your IRC server isn't friendly with IRC clients other than mIRC?

empireum · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Thu Nov 09, 2006 4:16 am

I was able to log in once with Colloquy...

Andy · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Thu Nov 09, 2006 4:25 am

Ill ask Koptor to look into it. He manages the IRC. It could have something to do with his end since he hosts the services.

Prog · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Thu Nov 09, 2006 4:31 am

Cool beans, thanks.

Andy · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Sat Nov 11, 2006 8:23 am

Looks like the IRC might be fixed now. Keep trying folks.

Andy · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Sat Nov 11, 2006 9:36 pm

The server is definately fixed now. If it doesnt work for you, check your logon details and settings. If it still wont work post here as it is likely that it has crashed.

Prog · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Mon Nov 13, 2006 2:19 am

Seems to be working now. Thanks.

Andy · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Sun Nov 19, 2006 3:37 am

Where is everyone? Nobody is using the IRC now its there! :cry:

Vista Ultimate R2 · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Sun Nov 19, 2006 3:48 am

Personally I don't use IRC etc as I don't know enough about using it, I'm too shy to say anything on that kind of thing, and if I did say anything I'd probably just be getting in the way most of the time, but I dunno about the others.
