Unable to connect to irc.talkabout.cf #22

Closed stormdragon2976 closed 3 years ago

I used the following to join an irc network:

./birch -s irc.talkabout.cf -u testing -c '#a11y'

It acts like it joined but when I type something, it shows the following:

-- No external channel messages (#a11y)

The /names command shows no one else. The port is the default of 6667 and when I tried adding it with the -P flag nothing changed. It works just fine on freenode though.

Never mind, I figured out what was going on. Apparently the name I wanted was in use already. lol newbie mistake.
