Connecting to IRC

I'm guessing the IP directly matches the IP in the picture that Gech posted? I got the same IP when I tried it just now. It doesn't match your IP because it's the IP of the server that the IRC client that ircatwork.com runs on. So, anyone on the planet who connects to PSIGenix using that site will have the same IP. That could get you kicked from the network for too many connections if other people are using it to connect to PSIGenix as well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

According to the network rules, there's a max of three connections from one host.

I'm sure shade/some other ircop could add an exception for that site, but whether or not he would is another matter entirely, since allowing that would make the site be able to be used to flood the servers with connections, which is the entire reason the rule exists in the first place. Maybe a small increase to five or seven connections from that host would be more palatable (assuming that's even possible; I've never administered an IRC network before).

How ya doing, buddy?
