IRC Channel?

kick52 · February 09, 2008, 06:46:16 PM

Hello.

Just wondering about creating a room on freenode or something. Would be cool to chit chat. I normally have loads to say which doesn't really need a new topic for it..

If we could a few members here to join it would be quite awesome.

(For those unaware of IRC: IRC means internet relay chat. Basically a protocol for chat rooms, with different servers, and rooms)

Don't mean to be rude, but

BUMP!

It would be cool if you, Paul/circuitbenders would be interested.

I know absolutely nothing about IRC and i've never used it, but if you know what you are doing then by all means, get to it!

not sure how popular it would be as the most members we've ever had on this board at any one time is 5 or 6 but maybe people who don't sign into the forum would use IRC, who knows.

I'd set up a CGI client if it would bring more people.

Ok, downloaded the thing, now it'll just take me a couple of weeks to actually install it and bobs yer uncle.

you should never underestimate my stunning powers of inefficiency

Ok, I'm there.

I was trying to get my same username as here, but it looks like I'm on there with my real name, which is Galen.

Never mind. I'm changed my settings, and now I'm on with my name here.

The channel is looking pretty quiet...

Gordonjcp · June 03, 2008, 01:57:35 PM

Does anyone else ever use the IRC channel?

kick52 · June 03, 2008, 04:17:01 PM

I used to use it but then people stopped coming.
I'll come back if other people do

Honestly, I've never been entirely clear on what an IRC channel is. I had it up for a couple of weeks on my old computer, but I never made any use of it. I'm assuming that it's some sort of chat thing, right?

An IRC channel is one chat "room" on a server.
