I'm looking to join this channel. Is it really closed to new registrations...forever?

No, but they are done manually rather than automatically. You don't need to register in order to join the channel, though.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried to join the channel yesterday, but got a message that it was closed to new registration...

It means that you cannot register your nick at our IRC network. To join the channel, however, you don't need to register your nick.

I tried to join the irc thing today and I kept getting kicked and was called a spammer. Kinda hard to prove i'm not a spam bot when i get kicked just as soon as i joined. I use Mirc and I am very new to it. Only used it once before.



Its just wrong to ban someone just because they joined. I haven't even had the chance to say "Hi I'm new" =/

and because of it I'm even banned from the server.. i can't even go in to the #help and ask for help

Sounds like you joined the wrong network. There is no one by 'horst' on the network. #[email protected] is the correct address. No one has been kicked/banned from the network for days though and logs show you didn't join the irc network at anytime. Mind you though there is a very strict rule set for the channel. http://www.pocketmonsters.net/rules

It appears you joined an alternate #pocketmonsters channel on a completely different network. Your nick isn't familiar to me, no one has been kicked for any such reasons you cite recently, and there's no one named "Horst" here. Make sure you connect to irc.pocketmonsters.net before joining the #pocketmonsters channel.

Apparently you joined euIRCnet which is not the official channel for #pocketmonsters though many German members do go to that particular channel. Be sure you go to irc.pocketmonsters.net which is our network.

I see. that makes sense. I'm pretty new to RIC stuff and i found your channel through a torrent i was downloading and just googled on how to get into the channel. the only thing that popped up was what i entered.

thank you so much for the help. ^_^
