IRC Channel +r?

[WillH]

Whats going on with the IRC channel? I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I say it is so I win. Anyway, why's it +r? I need my IRC fix.

No cutting of people's internet for you tonight!

 

[Kyorisu]

I'm getting that too and I havn't done anything wrong.

 

[WillH]

My first guess would be that some jerkwad was going in and posting spoilers and constantly evading bans so they made it so nobody can join, just a guess though. Hopefully somebody will come in and clear it up, I'm off to bed though, no IRC fix for me tonight.

Why not just auth yourself. Problem solved.

 

[Cybernoid]

I'm also not getting in. I need the proper key. How unfair.

I'm guessing that the channel was hijacked.

 

[Maxi]

What? there's no key on the channel. You must be trying to join the wrong one or something.

It's #halflife2 on quakenet.

 

[Cybernoid]

Hmm..... but why was my client set to connect to #halflife2.net instead of #halflife2...

Not everyone has auth's, and I know mine is broken for some reason :x

For those who don't know how to get an "auth":

type /msg Q hello <[email protected]> <[email protected]>

You need to specify your email address twice as parameters, a generated password will then be sent to the address mentioned, allowing you to auth to Q.

When you say 'hello' to Q, you will be assigned a default password.

Change your password by using the following command:

/msg Q newpass <old pass> <new pass> <new pass> (for example, /msg q newpass john notjohn notjohn).

Q will acknowledge a successful password change by displaying:
-Q([email protected])- OK, password changed.

Then login by typing /msg [email protected] auth <username> <password>.

Everyone should be Q authed these days. +r makes QuakeNet a hell of alot easier to manage.

Q bans are much better than normal hostname bans.

Yeah I need my login in details for my account...somehow they changed :-/

#halflife2.net is top secret!

And I agree with what ]SK[ said.

If you lose your login details, either get quakenet to email you the pw, speak to an oper to get it sorted, or create a new account

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

BAH you can't auth with a Java client, no more #halflife2 at work

 

[StarMonkey]

Are you sure? all java client's i've seen can auth
