Irc Channel

Is anyone else having troubles getting onto the IRC channel for NS lately, I keep getting the message

Could not join channel (+r)

Researching the help file leads me to believe that the channel now needs authentication to join or something.

    gamesurge = pwnd

    yes, #ns has +r set (you must auth to get in, look through gamesurge.net to learn how)

    HOWEVER, b/c gamesurge is being flakey as everything atm you might be on the wrong side of a netsplit to talk to authserv.

    Yes, you need to autheticate your name, which is remedied by using.

    /authserv auth (name) (password)

    However that is only if you have already registered a name, if you haven't you would need to register one like so;

    /msg AuthServ@Services.GameSurge.net OREGISTER <account> <password>

    There you have it.

    Partially correct answer guys and dolls, registering with GameSurge will <b>not</b> guarantee this problem will be eliminated. With GameSurge acting up like it has of late, and with all the friggin' netsplits, chances are excellent #naturalselection won't let you join upon a reconnect, <b>even if you ARE registered</b>.

    At the moment I can't even get a response from Gamesurge servers

    Okay... managed to connect to a server.
    What the ****?
    There's no chanserv!
    And theres like 3 people in the channels...



    At this very moment it seems to be righting itself, as chanserv joins and ops people and stuff.

    As Depot and I said, gamesurge is being flakey as everything.

    so even if you can log on you might be on the wrong side of a netsplit.

    however you can always come and join #nsradio if you want some NS people to hang out with!

    To explain just wth is going on:
    <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit' target='_blank'>What a Netsplit is</a>
    Wiki vs google, who would win?

    probably google as google can link to wiki <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Which doesn't help if you can't connect to the gamesurge server to begin with (like me).

    During netsplits like this, when you see ChanServ return and you've lost your ops or can't join #naturalselection, simply auth again and all will be well. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Regarding connection issues, it helps me to try various GameSurge servers, such as Olympus.CA.US.GameSurge.net or Kanzi.CA.US.GameSurge.net

    You make the pedantic in me sad. mIRC is a client for connecting to an IRC network. In which you chat. Or if you feel youthful and wish to partake in modern slang, one would say "I'm on IRC" or even possibly "I'm IRC'ing".

    Maybe I should take a screenshot of how many people are on the channel right now and make a topic about it...

    Also, the european servers of GameSurge doesn't seem to be too badly hit. There are 45 people in the channel as of now. If you cannot get to the GS website, the euro servers are:

    clanshells.DE.EU.gamesurge.net
    Tukikohta.FI.EU.GameSurge.Net
    Burstfire.UK.EU.GameSurge.net
    Endpoint.SE.EU.GameSurge.net

    I can NOT connect to gamesurge at all, no matter which server. Burstfire manages to "connect" me, but it doesn't join any channels. As soon as you try to join a channel manually it disconnects.
