Irish Fighting Game IRC Channel

Xinkai

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.

Sabre0001

/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

Xinkai

What server?

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!

Sabre0001

QuakeNet for EU...Gamesurge for US.

D4RK ONION

Also in IRC now.

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!

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.

K.O.Kiki

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

Sisko

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

Nominating for sticky.
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.
