hi


does an penspinning irc channel exist?

if not

lets create one or?


here can you download the irc client
http://www.mirc.com/get.html

Alternatly, we can all get MSN. There are fairly regular chats on MSN people. Sign up and post your address in the MSN addresses thread.

I would much prefer IRC. I mean first of all MSN has a totally shitty multiple person chat. Second you need to be invited to an MSN chat. Third, we can't have fun stats and shit for MSN chat. Fourth, no chat bots. Fifth, gay emoticons, need I say more? Sixth, IRC doesn't allow custom unreadable stupid fonts. Seventh, IRC has much better file transfer. Eighth, more people can get in IRC. And finally, not everyone has MSN or wants to get it, I mean honestly, MSN is Satan's chat.

I'm all for IRC, it's a much better way to chat in my opinion. And MSN totally sucks donkey balls. If we were to get an IRC channel what server would we put in on? I personally don't know a whole lot about the different ones or which ones are better.

i would prefer quakenet.org

its the best for this community i think
because most of the user here are playing internet games
and all irc channel for internet games and stuff are in quakenet

and they wont quit all their channel just for joining the penspinning channel if its not in quakenet




....against msn is also that you cant install a bot in the channel to kick and perhaps bann spammer and people who try to take over the channel

sure, but i cant guarantee people will actually go there to have a decent chat.
upsb chat was nice because it was easily accessible from the board.

and you could see how many ppl were logged in the chat so if there were people in there, you'd be more interested to go in.

@moerkedal: You can only connect to one server with your current client? Maybe it is time to consider switching.

@Zombo: We have decent chats here? or on msn? I don't think there would be any way to integrate a chat into the current site so IRC seems like a pretty good option.

and if you got an irc bouncer
your irc account is always online although if your pc is and internet is offline

so you can recieve messages while you are offline like an answering machine

not here, on UPSB, we had 10+ chatroom

"Most people in the chatroom - 18 - March 10th 2005"

Lol I remember that chat, it was like right when I woke up. Everyone was there.

I agree, we need iRC. We can use a Java Applet for people who dont like to install stuff. I'm even willing to use EFnet.

it seems if you know how to install and handle an irc channel

right?



if it takes not too much time could you try to install a channel?


if you tell me how to do it, or how i can help you. i will do it or help you :)

ok if you guys are willing to create/maintain a channel somewhere, i will try to integrate the chat somehow on the forum.

Yeah sure, I'd be glad to. I'll make a test one before everything just to make it right then I'll report to you. Any server recamendations(sp)?

How does this look?
irc.rizon.net/UCPSB

Just register on rizon and give me your Username so I can op you guys.

could you register on irc.quakenet.org?

all my friends and channels are on quakenet :/

E: :) ok the channel works im in

crap i forgot my password.... registered before,

I before anthoer server, like irchighway...

I can reg at irc.quakenet.org if you preferr it, Rizon has problems like not having a chanserv in the channel.

do it plz, then I'll make a java chat for the board direct linking to it.

I'm gonna make one now, #UCPSB is that right?

EDIT: Quakenet is a bitch, the request bot isnt always on,...

Done
irc.quakenet.org/UCPSB

what port?

didnt we already have a chatroom in quakenet? i dont like IRC cuz it seems too old and not user friendly....msn is fun cuz i can talk to friends and everyone

and msn emoticons are the best! crack! .....aww doesnt work here :lol:

My mIRC uses 6669

I've added the integrated chat program, check it out.

If you have a better IRC client, then by all means, use it instead of that...lol

if you dont linke irc

try miranda with the irc addon ;)

wat whats irc??? pardon the ignorance :lol:

We gotta still keep the old MSN chats going. The emots rock.

BOOOOOOO

which one do you download on that site?

for american people

http://mirc.stealth.net/download/mirc62.exe



for european

http://mirc.arcor-online.net/mirc62.exe


for asian

http://mirc.magicworks.net/mirc62.exe

ok i already downloaded the american one and i made my username what sever are you guys in lol :huh:

irc.quakenet.org

room: #ucpsb

In the first window you will want to type

/server irc.quakenet.org

Then once the server window pops up you want to

/join #UCPSB



I know we have quite a few firefox users here so I would like to post a link to Chatzilla. It's what I use for IRC and works just fine. It is a plugin for Firefox so you don't really have to install anything new. I hear there is a way to run it in a tab too but I haven't tried.

mine keeps saying unable to find firewall address :huh:

turn off your firewall?

[20:40] Connecting...
[20:40] Unable to connect : java.security.AccessControlException : access denied (java.net.SocketPermission irc.quakenet.org resolve)

Hm...?

check ur firewall

I would suggest getting another client. The Java one works fine most of the time but there are better options.

Copy this link into your browser i think it should work with mIRC :

irc://irc.quakenet.org/UCPSB

Only if you have mIRC set up to handle irc protocol links.
