There's probably a solution I'm not seeing, but I find it a little annoying that this only came into place today.

When I try to connect to Toribash IRC, this happens:

(12:07:14) -irc.quakenet.org- *** Looking up your hostname
(12:07:15) -irc.quakenet.org- *** Checking Ident
(12:07:15) -irc.quakenet.org- *** Found your hostname
(12:07:18 ) —› no hosts from asia-pacific on this server, thanks..
(12:07:18 ) —› error: Closing Link: Jonzay by underworld2.no.quakenet.org (K-lined)
(12:07:18 ) * Disconnected

This wasn't happening yesterday.
Any ideas?

EDIT: Removing the crappy emotes the combination of 8 and ) put in there.

so it just closed without any sign?

Yeah. Every time I try to connect, I get what you see in my first post.

And it wasn't happening yesterday....

Log onto an asian-pacific server.
Problem solved.

Feel free to post one. Right now I'm connecting through irc.quakenet.org, and it's therefore allocating me the first server it finds. =)

Just go through and try them all.

b0rk.uk.quakenet.org is AWESOME <3

Espically if you're in asia-pacific :P
