this ain't no game. my mom is excited i'm leaving so i can get her groceries

Diceman's boyfriend reporting in from vacation. that sounds ridiculous. what kind of big baby would just toss around bans willie nillie if he or she wants to keep an internet community thriving with new blood? I guess some kind of inbreeding hillbilly. anyway, hopefully I'm not banned, but I'll let you guys know when I get home

also, what do yoi guys think will happen if I tell my parents i want to go work on plan B with my boyfriend this weekend?

I don't understand either, Steev. Just got on IRC on my phone, but my phone is acting up, so it's a hassle to do anything. I'm going on vacation without internet access today so I'll report back on my computer IRC access when I get back. Maybe it will fix itself if it just takes a rest for a few days!

Just checked again, for good measure. Same problem.

Do you think all diesels are like this? Or are IRC channels even diesels? Maybe they're more like steam engines to today's communication platforms.

I tried port 7000. Still a no go. It's nice to know someone is here for me, possibly knows how I'm feeling.

 Nope. Here, let me post the full log so maybe you can identity the problem?

I'm not sure! Are the admins sleeping or something? Someone please call and wake them up because I'd like to have this resolved before I go to sleep. I have an early working morning tomorrow, as does DrNoelHowell, no doubt. Please be considerate of this, you guys.

Back from the toilet and just checked. Still not working.

Good thinking! Someone please call Steev and I have to go pee, so maybe it'll get fixed in the mean time

So here I was, trying to make the IRC active
I guess you guys will just have to sit tight until the admins get this sorted out

I don't get what fish have to do with it either. This place isn't wet, is it?

Maybe it is. Anyway, it still says, "* Cannot join #bigrigs (You are banned)."

How frustrating! IRC is so archaic!

Not yet. I'll try and report back

Please help. I'm having trouble with my IRC client in the #bigrigs channel here. I got disconnected suddenly and when I tried to reconnect it says I'm banned????

This is completely out of context. Please correct your post
