Gamers-Forum IRC Chatroom!

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 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. After downloading open it and in the text field enter /server irc.gamesurge.net then enter /join #gamers-forum

yay .. it's the future of the interenetz i tells ya !

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

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

that would be awesome, to get my by for the meantime

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:

YES .. come on when you read this and see!

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.

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

Bump!

How about we try to get IRC an active part of GF again. I'll be in the chat from now on if anyone is interested.

And try and make the site more active

how about this if your on the website go on irc ill be there

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.

it as really fun last night everyone should go back on

Haha tonight was hilarous

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

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

double post sorry this kind of died :s anyone up for some irc chat tonight ill be on untill i go to bed

me i am broski

I probably wont be on as much as I have been the past week because uh
D3.
