I've noticed that someone posted that you should,"join #xbins"...
the command is actually "/join #xbins" (without quotes) ,in case you didn't infer that yourself.Once that command is entereed you'll get a list of usernames and a welcome message...and sometimes a spammer popup which you'll ignore.This is when "/msg xbins !list" must be done.You can also type "/msg onjoin !releases" , to get a list of tthe 3 latest releases or you could type "/msg onjoin !releases 10" to get the 10 latest releasesAlso try other efnet servers,I use efnet.demon.co.uk which works as I post this.
