Why Come I can't connect to IRC?

[Shadow Wolf]

Hey, somebody that's seen me on IRC a lot lately! I can't connect all of a sudden. It may be that my school simply doesn't allow IRC connections over their network... but it's telling me I got kicked for using a protected username. Which would be mine. So yeah.

[Mewtation]

I've never seen that happen before. Is it ETG kicking you? You can ask for assistance.

[PosiBolt]

Yeah, you'd have to ask ETG about it at that point. I've seen it happen when someone changes their nick to something like 'x' or one of the ETG ops nicks, but not for someone with just a regular nick. If you continue to have problems, let me know, and i'll see what I can do to look into it.

[Shadow Wolf]

Well, I tried to change my nick to 'W' as a joke, and it instantly kicked me and won't let me back in.

[Mewtation]

Yeah, that'll do it. Did you change your nick and then try to reconnect? If you're still banned, you'll have to get in touch with ETG.

[Shadow Wolf]

Yes I did... I'm already tryin' to talk with them. Not gettin anything back yet though.

[DrumUltimA]

this is the funniest subject i've ever seen

[Shadow Wolf]

Yeah, it makes my n00b show. Fuck.

[Arek the Absolute]

there has not been a moment where your n00b hasn't shown

if the server banned you then the only thing i can recommend is to go to http://www.enterthegame.com/ and find some way to contact the crew to get you unbanned

[anosou]

Why Come? Yes, why come indeed.

[Shadow Wolf]

Wait... no. nope. I got nothin.

This man is right and you should listen to him.

In other news, I don't give a fuck.

:mrgreen:

[Shadow Wolf]

Why Come? Yes, why come indeed.

Starla.





























Yeah, I went there.

pwned :(


why come you use bad grammars

[PosiBolt]

You could always try to power cycle your modem to get a new IP. The bans for the minor stuff aren't very specific. Just make sure that you don't use a nick that they don't like when you re-join. At the very least, you can get back on the server and go to #etg at that point to argue your case if the nick you were using was legit.

[starla]

he's already back in, sum1 move this to help and n00bs kthx

OR make a thread of the sex-joke about starla and post it in announcements. It's up to you mod.

I was making a deliberate reference to the movie Idiocracy.
