XiBase IRC channel

[fury]

I was just wanting to let you guys who use IRC (for example, mIRC for Windows, or BitchX for Unix/Linux) know that I created a XiBase IRC channel on EnterTheGame, for general purpose use. For example, in case you have a question that you need answered faster than it would be answered on the forums, or simply as a better alternative to using the chat function on the Xibase Forums ICQ activelist.

IRC is basically a chat service that is better than ICQ chat, in that it never crashes, and it is not made by AOL

Anyways, the details on how to get there are as follows:

Start up the IRC client

/nick [nickname... no spaces allowed (see below)]

/server irc.enterthegame.com

(Do the following after you read the Message of the Day)

/j xibase

What you do after that depends on you.

Hope to see some of ya there.

Update: I made an mIRC script that makes it a lot easier to get there - download it here and unzip it to, for instance, C:\mIRC. Run the mIRC32 program that is unzipped, and it will ask for your nickname.

Your nickname can contain the following characters:

A-Z 0-9 [ ] { } \ | - _ ^ `

It cannot have any spaces

After you enter your nickname, it should automatically start connecting, and you should eventually see a new window open titled #xibase. This means it worked

Wow, I haven't used IRC for over a year now.

 

[s4]

I haven't used irc for chatting in a long time.

 

[fury]

Well it's there if you want to use it

 

[br0ck]

Im there!

 

[tOKSIK]

I am there

 

[PostCode]

Come on peoples...great way to do some real time chattin'

 

[br0ck]

Ya ppl, get off your arses and join the fun!

 

[Fuser Man]

I'll do it when I get home.

 

[Q]

That thing hates me.

 

[s4]

The problem that I see with an irc channel is that we don't have enough people to always have a chat going on. I think you may find that when you go there that you (anyone) may be the lone person in the chat. Irc chat rooms are good at being empty.

 

[Q]

It wasn't empty when I went there...just hostile

 

[s4]

Really? I might have to change my mind about going there. Sounds like fun.

I just finished installing mirc.

Yep. Empty just like I thought.

 

[Q]

I already had kind of a shitty attitude...then that thing was mean to me...he may not be making himself to comfy in my program files.

 

[s4]

Chanserv is not a real person. It's an irc bot that sets itself in every channel for some control.

 

[Q]

an irc but? yep, he sure was

 

[fury]

It wouldn't have been empty if a certain ISP hadn't disconnected me

Too Cool Flurf! You DA MAN!!!

works great! just need more participation. I can't tell you how many times I got into the AL just to find it empty also. So it is not IRC that makes a chat room empty it is the chatters or lack thereof. I am actually using KVirc under Mandrake Linux. Q, mIRC worked great last time I tried it (years ago) don't give up!

 

[fury]

Get in there, ya bastitches

/server irc.enterthegame.com
/join #xibase

I use IRC almost daily, but I don't touch mIRC. I'm currently using Bersirc, but I need to find another. mIRC is nearly the only client that doesn't allow connection to multiple servers. Bersirc does it, but it get's messy so I avoid it whenever possible.

If you need to get a hold of me, you can try irc.astrolink.org #kopykatz

Some of you may recognize the name
