    Do you think it's a good idea to start a #IrishFightingGames IRC channel?

    Possibly on the EFNET or Rizon servers.

    I'd do it & advertise, but have no idea how to start a channel.

    /join IrishFightingGames

    Need people to join in order to get 'Q'...Think that then allows you to set operators (moderators) and so on. See you there :D

    🤪

    What server?


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,181 ✭✭✭✭ Jim


    Yea, just need to get a certain amount of people to join and idle until you can get a Q bot to keep the chan.

    If its not on quakenet its not worth it!

    For new people unfamilar with IRC. Here is a quick guide to joining the Irish Fighting Game Channel.

    To start simply download mIRC here and install as you would any other program

    Run IRC and select Tools > Options. This screen should be the first thing you see upon running the program

    Fill in the basic details; i.e. Your alias, an alternative (just in case great minds think alike) and e-mail

    Click the "Servers" tab. Open the "QuakeNet" folder and select a server

    Go back to the "Connect" tab and click connect

    Finally click Commands > Join channel

    Insert "#irishfightinggames" into the field and there you go!


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,181 ✭✭✭✭ Jim


    For those who can't muster the effort to download a client, use this

    http://webchat.quakenet.org/

    Just type in whatever nick you want and "irishfightinggames" as the channel and away you go.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,403 ✭✭✭✭ K.O.Kiki


    I use X-chat. It's nice, too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭ Sisko


    **** sake this irc thing has had nearly half of the entire community in it, plus random new people??? I didnt expect this! :eek:


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭ D4RK ONION


    IRC could be huge! :P

    I've been using this the past 2 days to get lots of ST & 3S (and banter!) in.

    Awwww.

    IRC is internet relay chat.

    The link above uses HTML to view IRC.

    It's a magic combination of the two. :)

    Expect many tumbleweeds when asking for a sticky.



    @ terry , just use jims link. Was the 1st time I used IRC too. Its strange as Irc seems filled with people who don't know what a forum is. Its like the other side of the internet or something.

    Just a small point-

    It's not my or Azza's job to read every single line of every post in this forum.

    If you see a thread you think might be good stickied, you should make sure one of us finds out.

    That said, I am not a huge fan of over stickying stuff, I usually wait and see if a threads popular first.

    Another alternative would be to create an index of important threads and stickying that like an FAQ.
