Re: Chat
What's so confusing? All you do is download a client, select the server and type /join #soakertalk. I've never done a multi-person Skype chat before, but IRC channels are always on...there's no off.DX wrote:Specter and others, hit me up on Skype if you want to chat. I never figured out IRC at all, the whole concept of it seems incredibly arcane. Skype chats are much more modern and remain live even if no one in the room is online. Older versions work perfectly fine, I only use 2.6.

Re: Chat
IRC actually doesn't feel dated in any way. Maybe it's the client? Anyway, the only difference I've noticed (with limited experience in general) is that you don't register for a proprietary account, and getting a log is more difficult than it should be.

Re: Chat
If there are no users, then the channel closes. Of course that kind of makes sense really. ChanServ will op NYwriter94 automatically, so no worries about someone stealing ops.NYwRiter94 wrote:What's so confusing?

I guess doing stuff by typing commands, like /nick, /join, and so on, is old-fashioned. But once one knows the commands, it's very effective. Besides, a good graphical client ought to have menu entries.

Re: Chat
I haven't joined any of them. I'd say that chats should be organized at least 12 hours in advance since I missed 2 of them when I got IRC to work. (that is, gamesurge's IRC app, I'm not sure how to get other ones to work and I'm sure as heck not paying for one)

Re: Chat
if you use firefox, then i suggest chatzilla addon. its pretty easy to use, just read the FAQ on how to add an outside server. i think its something like /attach [name of server] then /connect #soakertalk

Re: Chat
I thought choosing the server was by /server ?

Re: Chat
it probably depends on whatever client is being used. I vaguely remember having to type in /attach irc.gamesurge.net
then in that chat box, /connect #soakertalk

Re: Chat
Why's it been made invite only? How're any chats going to happen if people can't join the channel!

Re: Chat
I did try chatzilla (which I still have), and gamesurge denied the connection for some reason. However, I did get to #soakerchat by using their IRC/chat client in the site itself. There was also an idler there and no discussion took place.
