IRC Channel for the Site / IRC Help

Postby PMJPlay » Tue Jul 10, 2012 10:46 am

I registered a IRC Channel if you guys want to chat IRC style :D

1 - Download a IRC Client for OS.
For Windows, I recommend ChatX and AdiIRC or if you wish to pay mIRC. Other clients are available for different platforms and OS.

2 - Connect to the Chat4All IRC Server at irc.chat4all.org

3 - Once connected, make sure you register your nick on the server so no one else can use it by going to your IRC client and in the message box typing /msg nickserv register password emailaddress with the password of your choosing and the emailaddress you would like the confirmation sent to.

4 - Go to your E-Mail and follow the instructions in the message sent to you.

5 - Once registered go to your IRC client and in the message box type /msg nickserv identify yourpassword to login officially. (You can set it up in your client to do this automatically when you connect to the server.)

6 - Join our IRC Channel by typing /join #theoldcomputer

7 - Enjoy!

Alzabo could you also recommend the best client for users to use as well, that way they can get up and running quickly from reading this post.

i think there is an irc client you can use from inside web browsers too... 'ChatZilla' i think is the one for FireFox.

IRC was made for guys like you. It was most popular when dialup was the norm. Super lightweight chat. :thumbup:
