I used to just be able to log in no issues... anyone know what is going on?

There are no restrictions, unless you did something super stupid and got yourself banned. But I can't even recalled the last time that happened so it's unlikely.

You cannot login at all? Do you get an error or something?

Nope never had an issue... went to log on today and got this "The room "#logstash" on "[chat.freenode.net](http://chat.freenode.net)" is invite only."

Mega apologies for that!
