Description Michael Kreitzer 2009-06-06 01:58:14 UTC 
The invite dialog if left unanswered will cause a disconnection from the IRC server due to time out. The client will not attempt a reconnect in the background. The status bar does update showing that you've timed out. Immediately after answering auto reconnect will kick in. This could be abused as a form of DoS for users who run 24/7 clients for things like logging or channel management.

I should point out this only effects the network the invite came from
