Google search for IRC clients
What you need to get on IRC is an IRC client. On Windows, the most popular client is mIRC.
You can download miRC from here. download miRC. I have yet to find a free IRC client right now for Windows, though. mIRC is shareware and you can use it for 30 days.
You download the client and install it, and when you launch it, you are given a prompt that looks a little like an AIM client.
To connect to the SuikoX channel, first, you need to connect to the server. You can do that by typing:
Code: |
/connect irc.rizon.net |
You will get a bunch of text. Then, to join the channel, type:
To change your nickname, type
Code: |
/nick EveryonesGrudge |
(for example).
You can then type in the text box to send a message to everyone.
mIRC has some client-specific commands as well, but I don't know them that well, but the above commands will work for every client.
That will be enough to get you started! Hope it helps! _________________ Woo, 2000 posts as of Tuesday, 2007 August 28. |

Does not work for me here at work. I'll try it at home.
EDIT: Yep, that works for me also. |

I've been talking to Scarlet Assassin about "unifying" the chat rooms, so to encourage the use of the IRC room instead of the AIM room. The AIM room has its purpose but isn't as persistent as IRC.
If you guys possibly can, log in to irc.rizon.net #suikox and idle even if no one's chatting. Before long, we'll have enough permanent idlers around at all hours of the day that the chatroom will be busy whenever you log in. I'm going to be going on vacation next week, though, so I'll be idle for a long time. :p
IRC is still new to most people, and IRC has a bit of a bad reputation, but the only people who will be coming in there are people from SuikoX. It'll be fun! Even SARS was chatting last night. _________________ Woo, 2000 posts as of Tuesday, 2007 August 28. |

Wow, mIRC! I haven't been on IRC since I was like 16. XD Ah, nostalgia! But I'm not a real big chatter, as my erm, nonexistence on AIM moer or less proves, so maybe that's why. ^^;
Doesn't work for me yet. :( I'll keep trying to find something.
Arcana, it's been a while since I've been in Mirc, but couldn't you set up a bot to pretty much just constantly idle? _________________

I'll log in tomorrow! :mrgreen: I haven't been on mIRC for like a year...
So to boost the room's popularity, maybe this can be advertized more on the forum/main site? Cause I'm sure there's chatters on the site that don't know of this thread.

What we need in here is a bot with trivia! I used to have a bunch of cool eggdrop scripts, but that was a long time ago. Unfortunately I take it they have their own bot-sniffer on the network so it's probably best not to get ourselves all banned by bringing one in.
Anyway, I'll idle in there... _________________ ______ "We're still flying"

I figured what the chat-room needs to achieve some sort of regular popularity is... me.
So, I'll hang out and generally be brilliant and you can all bask in my aura, cultivated by years of mediation and not taking showers. _________________ One day, I shall come back. Yes, we shall all come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. |

For Firefox users, install the ChatZilla add on and there's no need to go through the hassle of downloading (and having to register) mIRC. _________________

Thanks Elc, you rule. I'll try to appear around there from time to time.
EDIT:
I'm in! And I believe several members have been killed in front of their computer. I entered the chat said Hi and no one, I mean no one asked for an autograph, neither did they answer my "hello". We must inform the authorities. _________________ DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! |

Well, you see there are these things called Time Zones first of all and then some of us are just too lazy to quit when we aren't actually at our computer like when we're working or something (mostly something in my case). And really, telling everyone "No one's even there" isn't exactly going to encourage everyone to go sign on now is it? If no one is talking to you when you sign on, then sign on at a different time (3:30 AM London time works really well, if you're interested). _________________
