I try to connect and get this:
[15:55] Closing Link: JustinTD[ip68-224-203-221.ri.ri.cox.net] (User has been permanently banned from IRCsystems (Pain in the ass botnet master))
why? I have never done anything to the server, nor do I run any bot nets. Help?
Problem with IRC.

I am thinking its more along the lines of someone on this ISP did something bad. I tried to connect with another computer which is on a diff WAN IP but same ISP and has NEVER connected to their IRC server. I used a diff nick and that one was hit too. Like I said, I have been in the chat many times, never had a problem with em, to be honest i dont even know what a bot net is, but i can tell you only IRC stuff i run is mIRC and my copy of unreal which is hosted on another server. So.. I dunno, someone may wanna look into this.
I dont think its too likely I do. I dont run scripts, I write my own (all-be-it small ones for managing users/ircop commands etc...) and I am an Oper on irc.dcloneirc.net. Never had any problems there. I also visit efnet, i own gamerskeep, and visit 2 other servers and have never had a problem.
On top of that, I run trend Micro 2006 fully updated of course, and i do double checks with panda active scan. Never had any problems. maybe someoen on my netblock was a bad boy and got zapped ...
as far as IP's go, I have had this one for at least a month that i can recall... and i was able to connect about 3 weeks ago or so no problem. that was the last time i was on.

Reason: Pain in the ass botnet master
Looks like we had a problem with a user from that ISP with a dynamic IP. So in other words, it just means you can't sign on to chat or get live support. You are still free to ask questions here.
