Jeg er ikke helt sikker. Men det er mange forskjellige servere som er Quakenet servere fks. Når en eller fler av disse detter ut, har ikke den serveren du er på forbindelse med resten av serverene eller de folkene som er på resten av serverene som er kobla sammen.

Som hasuwest sier, et IRC nettverk er en rekke servere som er koblet opp i et nettverk. Det spiller ingen rolle hvilken server en bruker kobler seg opp på, han kobler seg på "nettverket". Når derimot en eller flere av serverne i dette nettverket mister forbindelsen med hverandre, oppstår det en "netsplit"

(41) What is a netsplit? Why does everybody keep signing on and off?
What does it mean when I see: ***NickName has quit IRC (*.bu.edu eff.org)? 

Netsplits are (unfortunately) a routine part of IRC life. The above message means that NickName, who was on a channel with you, was on a different server from you and this server split off from the part of the net you are on. 


A  --------------  B ---- C
|                  |
D                  E

Lets assume a small IRC network where A, B, C, D and E are servers. Let's say that you are on server D, and server A splits from server B. In this case, you will see all users on the servers B, C and E, "sign off". On large IRC networks and crowded channels you will see a huge amount of people 'quiting IRC'. When A and B rejoin, you will see users from B, C and E "rejoin" the channel you were on. 
Note that netsplits are all from the point of view of the user. After a netsplit rejoins people might ask where you went -- because from their perspective, *you* split off. The only thing you can do during a netsplit is wait for the net to merge itself. Changing your server during a netsplit is a Bad Idea, because you are likely to have your nickname collided. A "split" often occurs due to faults in the underlying *physical* network. It can also occur due to other reasons, such as if the machine on which the IRC server runs crashes, or if it is too overloaded to handle connections as happens on bigger nets, or if an IRC operator willfully disrupts the connection between two servers to achieve better routing (server - server connections).
