up until yesterday there has been no issues when connecting and still no issue on connecting itself
though when you load into a twitch channel now it does not display the viewerlist and because of this the bot can not time ppl out and do its duties as a mod/bot

i do not know if this is on the twitch side or the mIRC

This is twitch. not mIRC
