Almost every (if not every) IRC client should support connections to more than one network. It is really easy with XChat and mIRC can do it to (you need to open a new server window before). Many people already are connected to many networks.
So, that's not the problem. I'm just waiting for the first big netsplit in Quakenet, because (as I said) netsplits are quite normal in Quakenet, there is one every 3-4 days. 

All right, if you insist. 

Better than netsplits every 3-4 hours at Gamesurge. 

mIRC development has pretty much stopped while other clients are comming out with more attractive and flexible interfaces. I would recommend taking a look at HydraIRC. 

Give X-chat a spin. Open Source Horror Massive! 

Well unfortunately I won't be joining you as you know. Quakenet does have its splits and the funny thing is, wait till it gets DDoSed like Gamesurge is. I'm not leaving because some prick decides he will proxy spam the network for a week or so. As far as I am converned, its like a car, it breaks down every once in a while and not always your fault.

After some odd ammount of years in #tf its kinda disheartening but I cannot avoid it. I avoid running multiple server connections like the plague. It just makes more windows to watch and its not worth it. Learning a less developed channel bot is definately not worth it either.

Have Fun! 

<Figurebler> nano, the idea i am working on with the ops is that anyone who is active - socially or otherwise - in the #tf / func community, gets it
<Figurebler> idlers and people who auto-join and say nothing don't
<Figurebler> and new people need to wait a bit and chat a bit and just be involved

I'll add to that that I personally WANT new people to turn up and get involved and enrich the community, as long as they appreciate what it's about - i.e. quality gaming, quality mapping, respect for older games and intolerance of idiocy, etc. It's cool to have some fairly new people like Dog and bambuz and others come in and be involved and have interesting discussions. W3rd. 

And some assfucker's still got my nick ! 

Won't last long because they'll be banned for no good reason. 

retards like you who can't read "If you do not visit #terrafusion, don't bother replying." get banned. 

I did visit terrafusion, and I would like to, except dickheads like you who abuse your "power", are in power. 

Phait you know you love it, you sadomasachistic freak 

You'd be very welcome to come back from my perspective - despite some odd behaviour I respect your enthusiasm and efforts in the scene. 

I don't think my enthusiasm is up to par with anyone else that it'd matter for me to come back, not like it'd matter anyway. But I'd rather not be back in #tf anyway after all that BS. I did have plans on doing a SP mini-epi but I've been busy learning print design lately...

Carry on.

At least I don't time out every 2 minutes, assnugget! 

:D 

a single netsplit compared to the ~6 a day at gamesurge and the inability for half of us to connect. 

seems like we switched from gs just when it was about to break.. 

just doesn't have the bandwidth to handle getting attacked like they are. its unfortunate, but the servers that were providing client connections are not set up to deal with cyberattacks. i expect qnet will be a bit better in this regard, although i dont know by how much...

and to taco: why the fucking hell does it matter if you are annoyed by having 2 extra windows open in your client? it seems odd to be melodramatically "oh guys it was good times but i cant follow you to quakenet," when all you need to do is /connect +irc.quakenet.org ; /join #terrafusion ! 

Gamesurge is being DDOSed constantly?

Do these nefarious boobs have any motives or do they just not like that we're like a half a rung farther up on the social ladder? 

I can't connect to Quakenet today for some reason.

Well to be more specific, I can connect to Quakenet, but the one working server gives me a

"No hosts from Asia-pacific on this server, thanks..
-
Closing Link: Tr0n by wineasy2.se.quakenet.org (K-lined)"

message while the next two won't work at all. 

try any of these servers
http://staff.quakenet.org/servers.phtml 

That means No hosts from Asia-pacific on this server, thanks..

I had the same thing (naturally), so I used a UK server instead.
