Hey,

I took my first steps into the strange world of IRC yesterday. Leeching in most channels was fine, and i got the hang of Fserves and all that nonsense.

However, in one particular channel ( #animedivx@irc.avalonworks.ca ) I had no idea what was going on.

It is a small channel, and when I got there I typed !list (like an idiot, I know), and so I got told off.

Then I tried !rules, and it told me that the ads would appear every 30 mins or so.

I have now had the window open for several hours and none have appeared. Are they not sending them to me because I behaved like a retard?

I am too scared ask someone in the channel, as no-one is talking in there (what are they doing when not talking, leeching?, having private chats???), and I will blatantly get banned.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I would very much appreciate any help.

Thanks
