Gamers-Forum IRC Chatroom!

[Jaykub]

Hello Gamers!

Gamers-Forum.com has an IRC chat room for everyone that wants to come by and chat. IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat - its quite simple to use and is much like instant messaging.

If you already know how to connect to an IRC channel here are the details:

Server: irc.gamesurge.net
Channel: #gamers-forum

--------------------------------------



Method #1 - Without Download & quickest
Go to the Mibbit Webchat client (http://widget.mibbit.com/?server=irc.gamesurge.net&nick=ENTERNAME&channel=%23gamers-forum&settings=c76462e5055bace06e32d325963b39f2) and enter your gamers-forum name when prompted. This will automatically connect you to the right channel and the right server.


Method #2 - By Downloading a standalone client
XCHAT is most members' IRC client of choice; you can download it here: XChat: Multiplatform Chat Program (http://xchat.org/download/). After downloading open it and in the text field enter /server irc.gamesurge.net then enter /join #gamers-forum

[Diligence109]

everyone in the chatroom! I hope to see you all in there :)

I personally recommend mIRC as an IRC client, but I mean, to each their own ;)
EDIT: nevermind, Trillian has an IRC component. Trillian forever!
EDIT: I don't use Trillian anymore - Digsby ftw! Back to mIRC for me...
EDIT: I tried XChat and it's awesome and I'm off of mIRC now. I use that for windows and the IRC component of Adium for mac

People can also have a look at this thread here: Gamers Forum IRC Channel #Gamers-Forum - Gamers Forum (http://www.gamers-forum.com/showthread.php?t=1767)

Years old but most of the stuff still sticks, minus the channel bots.

I was poking around and found this site - it's very helpful for a quick intro into IRC if the subject seems baffling to you, from everything to a quick understanding of how it works, what you can do with it, and suggested clients to use:

http://irchelp.org/
http://irchelp.org/irchelp/new2irc.html

Hope this helps people!

I use mIRC to chat in the IRC channels.

You can also try XDCC Browser (google it )
It will open some more options in mIRC, and allow you to use it to download stuff.

[Iceskater101]

there is only 3 of us in there right now including me
someone JOIN THE CHAT! ;)

[thedeparted]

And try and make the site more active

[egg-whites333]

[LemonRising]

I'm on. haha I'm terrible with remembering to go on it. Might just add it to the start up. I love an active irc.

[egg-whites333]

it as really fun last night everyone should go back on

[norid]

Haha tonight was hilarous

[Synge]

I still say a chatbox would be easier/more active. I never hop in because I find IRC inconvenient. /shrug

[egg-whites333]

it would be nice to have a chat box but oh well

[egg-whites333]
