message: I do not remember if I was ever banned from using IRC, but anytime I join a Wikipedia channel with the username "AwesomeAasim", it gives the error "You are banned".  Does a channel mod want to investigate? Aasim (talk) 08:54, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

message: I'm trying to get into Freenode, but it won't let me in. Basically, I type my username and my password in, then I do the captcha. I successfully pass, but it says "invalid captcha." Then I do it again, and it says "invalid login." I double check my username and password, and it's correct, but it still won't let me in. Does anyone know what's going on?

message: For those that don't know, there has been a hostile takeover of Freenode and most of the staff have resigned. I've opened a discussion for the global community here. YODADICAE👽 12:55, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for opening the discussion on Meta. For the uninitiated, there is interesting background information about what's going on at Freenode at Freenode#Ownership change and conflict and Andrew Lee (entrepreneur). - tucoxn\talk 15:52, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Connected, but now says "ⓘ ** This channel is not monitored for support requests ** You have been forwarded here because the channel you tried to join is temporarily closed to unregistered users or your connection is malfunctioning. Try registering your nickname [link] then rejoin, or /join #wikimedia-ops for help.". And when I try to join #wikimedia-ops, it says 0 people here. 24.90.88.127 (talk) 07:04, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

message: As the title says - hexchat is now unfortunately unmaintained, as of a couple of months ago. The github repo has been archived as well. While the final release will likely still be completely usable for the time being, the recommended client list should probably reflect this BugGhost🎤 13:40, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I added the word unmaintained just now. That should be a good first step. Someone else may remove it completely if they wish. Wikipedia:IRC/Clients. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:47, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
