BakaBT signup/invites

As promised when we closed off our public component, several months ago now, we have been working on a way to still join BakaBT.
Currently our invite system is still in it's early phase of development, but it is possible for new users to join BakaBT by interview in our #bakabt-invites channel.

However users who still have a forum account, but had their tracker account pruned will be able to reactivate their account from their forum profile page. Do bear in mind that reactivated accounts are basically treated as new accounts, so stats will be 0 as we do not keep records of your old account stats once they are pruned.

Individual user invites will be made available soon, so Power Users will be able to invite people they want/trust outside of the official invite channel, but as mentioned that feature is still under development. Currently I cannot give an exact ETA, but we're hoping to finish this feature sooner rather than later.

where can i join the invite channel?

@valyx using irc if theyre open

There are two official BakaBT IRC channels on the Rizon IRC network: #BakaBT and #bakabt-support.

Connecting to BakaBT

BakaBT uses the IRC server:
irc.rizon.net
The main chatroom is:
#BakaBT (not case sensitive)
And the support room is:
#bakabt-support

Connecting to different channels
To connect to another channel when first starting up, just replace #BakaBT with the channel you want (like #bakabt-support). If you're already connected, type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:
/join #channelname
Where "#channelname" is the channel-which-you-want-to-connect-to's name.

is it easy to get in?

I'd like to get an invite, but I don't know the process to do it. I trying joining via #bakabt, but it doesn't open for me. The support channel did open though.
