Batmanifestdestiny Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) I was tired of the flashchat going way slow on my computer, so I set up a nice, quick IRC channel! Server: irc.nightstar.net Channel: #lds EDIT: not_ashamed and I were just testing it, and it works fine! and it goes SO FAST! 0_0; I also got it all up and in plublic working order :) Edited July 1, 2009 by Batmanifestdestiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahone Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 /me looks at mIRC in his taskbarIt's been a long time since I opened up mIRC or anything like it. I used to use it years ago, but if I chose to use an IRC program today for whatever reason, it'd be an open source one, which mIRC unfortunately isn't (it's not even really freeware, though a lot of people use it like it is).The only IRC commands I remember are /kline and /kill ... they just happened to be the ones I used the most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshac Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I haven't used ACTUAL IRC (Dalnet, Effnet, etc) in years. A friend of mine runs an IRC server that a bunch of us still use... we've been using it since high school, so checking to see who is online in the evening is kind of a habbit... heck, some of them have IRC clients on their iphones, so they're almost always around.

Batmanifestdestiny Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 people still use irc? its been years since i last logged on itPlenty of people use IRC! It used for everything from Linux tech support to game modding to programming! Though, mIRC isn't the only way to go, there are plenty of free programs like Pidgin and IceChat that are freeware(and opensource a good amount of the time) IRC clients, or you can use the java based client that nightstar.net(the server that's hosting#lds) uses! Personally, I use it for #lds, general chatting, tech support, and game mod collaborating :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I use it for #lds, general chatting, tech support, and game mod collaborating :)I do prefer forums nowadays for that type of stuff, simply because forums aren't designed for chatting in real time. People can look over the conversation 24 hours later and add their own thoughts. You aren't completely stuck with the advice of whoever happens to be online at the time who could very likely be wrong. Plus, unless the channels are very popular, it's likely everyone in there is actually idle, which is a little annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanette Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 When I do use IRC (rarely), ChatZilla (Firefox extension) works fine. I tend to not enjoy trying to decipher chatspeak, and find that most chat rooms I've inhabited attract rather immature types (hopefully, one oriented toward LDS would attract a more literate, less vulgar crowd).

Batmanifestdestiny Posted July 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Man, last night was a crazy party; the chat room was bustling with 1 person! XD Seanette and I had the most crazy conversations ever: like wanting a burrito! Serious, though; I'm glad at least 3 people enjoy IRC like I do :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanette Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Poor Bat had to put up with me narrating the TV show I was watching . He's a tolerant guy. (Oh, and the burrito turned out to be rather good.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
