You are NOT banned from IRC. Or at least, none of us banned you personally.

For some reason tonight the IRC decided to ban everyone from the server that we use for our chat, however this only applies to the site linked at the top of this page.

It is still possible to access the chat through mobile apps or other browser clients. Therefore, we felt we should dust off this old post that provides alternatives to the primary IRC client that we use. Hopefully it helps!

Sometimes (like right now) the IRC linked on the sidebar breaks, but there are a few others ways to access the chat when this happens:

1) Go here http://client00.chat.mibbit.com/

2) Select 'foonetic' from the dropdown menu.

3) connect to #gotrp as usual.

OR if you're not a fan of mibbit...

1) Go here https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.foonetic.net/#gotrp

2) Connect to #gotrp as usual.

Alternatively, you could download a client to use on your desktop. Here's a site with some - http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-7-free-irc-clients-windows-7/
