Having trouble with an old nickname
reddit / irc

OK so I've been using a certain website for downloads and in order to
register to the site you have to register on Rizon and then message a
bot for the website's channel so it can register you to the website.


The problem is since last night my ID/password doesn't work for some
reason, now when I try to check my old nickname on Rizon it says that
user doesn't exist.


Did it get deleted because I haven't used IRC in over a year or what.


Mind you I have been signing in to that website every day successfully
without a hitch until yesterday evening.


How can i fix this problem ?


Because it seems I'm permanently banned out of the blue because of
some glitch.

I don't know the specifics for Rizon but it is common for nickname
registrations to expire if they haven't been used in a while. I
believe that the default expiry time for Anope is 21 days for example.

*   If a nickname has not been identified to for 90 days, the nickname
will expire of inactivity, as well as its access on any channels. You
will have to re-register it.

Just re-register.

I can't, registrations are closed and I can't reset the password.

But I've been using the account for this website for over a year
without any problems.


And even if I re-register I can't access this site anymore because
registrations are closed.

It's just weird if the IRC nickname expired in 2017 and only now I'm
feeling the effects of it.

It doesn't work like that for this site, you need to register a nick
on Rizon and then message a bot on this website's channel who then
automatically registers you.

The problem is that registrations through IRC have been closed since
January and I've been signing in to this site just fine every day
until a couple of days ago.

I think he means the website.

chances are the IRC nick  is not tied in anyway to the sites system
besides getting the channels, see if rizon has a #help channel that
you can contact the IRC Ops.

OK thanks, I just thought it was connected but it's a stretch.

I mean rizon isn't broken? so it seems a user error
