> From the end of ticket #409 and Debian bug report

> When using irc on irc.Darkmyst.org I can't get chatrooms to work:
>
> I can /join them, I can send messages, but I can't get replies on those
> messages (or anything else said in that room). I can /msg a user
> directly, and can communicate that way with people, but no chatrooms.

> My debug window gave similar errors, espescially the "(21:29:23) irc: Got
> a NOTICE on AUTH, which does not exist" but also errors like: "(21:29:37)
> irc: Got a NAMES list for #testUmbrae, which doesn't exist" - error
> gotten when joining a room (already existing or not) "(21:30:23) irc: Got
> a PRIVMSG on #testUmbrae, which does not exist" - error gotten when some-
> one says something in that room

> Darkmyst is sending the NAMES response before it sends JOIN -- It isn't
> clear to me that this violates the IRC spec (which is woefully vague),
> but it is certainly strange and I have not seen it before. I'll see what
> I can do about this.
