Ah, but do not underestimate the Canadian plot. Several hard drives went down with all hands in Canada, hence highlighting the presence of *something* disturbing computers in Canada.

Why does it strike me? The explanation is very simple: on a rainy day, some Frenchmen decided to settle in a part of Canada, for the sake of bothering the rest of Canada. So either they brought this computer disease with them, or it was something along the lines of a vengeance.

Well, at least I am helping you keep this thread as visible as possible Narf. Who knows? Someone with an actual, plausible idea might pop in and give you the answer you are seeking (I think that looking for the product of 6 and 9 might be helpful to you. Well, perhaps not though).

The Canadian conspiracy has a long reach then. Silliness aside, it doesn't work for me either at the moment of the writing.

My newest theory is that Gamesurge doesn't work when the hour is even. When it is, for example, 4:56 pm, it will not work. It works fine at 4:55 pm or 4:57 pm though. In other words, it seems like a temporary glitch that is somehow resolved without any reason.

I was there earlier today, (around 4:30pm) and got on with no problems. So I can attest that it has nothing to do with any 'Canadian Phenomenon'. But it's interesting that some people would think us so powerful as to affect IRC chanels this way.

Cheers!

but I got it to work by changing from irc.gamesurge.net to irc.US.gamesurge.net. Maybe it's just the irc.gamesurge.net that's failing....

Indeed, it worked perfectly for me with this address.

Well Hazy One (or David if you will), blaming the Canadian Plot (or any other geographically based hazard) is certainly a much clearer solution than talking about a "DNR node being down on port 23, thus preventing all Users logging from the IST protocol from reaching the channel. Sorry for the inconvenience, and enjoy your session chatting with our error Messages".

This aside, the Canadian plot is a theory advanced by Raging Deathstar in another thread, and so I shamelessly took his idea and made it mine. Now back to your regularly scheduled programmes, since I shouldn't really been highjacking this thread.

Anyway, I'm new to these Boards. Hi everyone hehe.
