	IRC Help! Increase the size of your Attachments

To anyone out there who can help, I'm having a little IRC problem. Whenever I try to connect to the 'poly chat room now, it gives me this message...

quote: * Connecting to apolyton.net (6667) - -apolyton.net- *** Looking up your hostname... - * Identd request from xxx.xx.xxx.82 - -apolyton.net- *** Found your hostname, cached - -apolyton.net- *** Checking Ident - * Identd replied: 4779, 6667 : USERID : UNIX : ZargonX - -apolyton.net- *** Got Ident response - Closing Link: 0.0.0.0 (Invalid username [ZargonX]) - * Disconnected

Can anyone give me some hints as to why my user ID is suddenly invalid? Even if I change my user ID, it still gives me that message. I kind of need to get back to the chatrooms to take care of business, so any help would be much appreciated!

Roleplay hacked the system and banned a lot of people they considered opponents to their cause.

Apparently that includes you. If I was you I would consider this an act of war by Roleplay and join the Grand Alliance.

I'm assuming that you use mIRC. Go to options, find the identd screen and enter a different user name (anything you want; mine is w00t).
I don't know why the IRC server should deny certain idents.

Shiber: Thanks, that worked! I really have no idea why my ident suddenly became invalid either, but, whatever... Anyway, thanks for the fix!

Panag, you can't register idents... (at least not without hacks put into the IRC server program, and that's something that only the admins can do unless the server was compromised, in which case the cracker would probably do more than just ban Zargon's ident, and we'd hear about it).

You sure you didn't do anything stupid and got banned for it?
