Hi,

I am in the process of setting up our very own IRC server so we have some where to chat.

I will put the server details up here when I get finished.

Does anyone have exprience with IRC if I need any help?

I have a tad. I'm not great though.

Thanks,

The server will be u 24/7 with no down time, just waiting for it to be activated.

Not sure what software comes wth it but I'll let you know.
It will be good to talk to you guys in real time.

One question... I've clicked on IRC links before, but my precious firefox knows not what to do with it.

And neither do I... I'm more used to the likes of instant messaging services.

Halp?

A link posted inside a channel? Double-click it and a dialog box should appear, click "Yes".

if you are used to im software this might be easier for you

*is lost*

Example: When brumanon.co.uk was hacked, it gave a link to the goon IRC... I clicked on it and it came up with a http://irc. *something* Firefox comes up with a dialogue message saying something to the effect of "OES NOES!!1 firefox don't know what do with linky liek .irc!!! KTHXBAI" *click OK*

Is a different program needed for .irc links, or will my precious open-source browser suffice?

*EDIT*

Aha... Pidgin... with this I am familiar. I didn't know it could do irc. I shall investigate further.

Download mIRC or another IRC program.

Any chance of setting up a Java window linked from Brumanon to the IRC channel?


I know it can be done, but I haven't the foggiest as to how.

I use mirc, i love it :)

I'll have a look it to this, I was thinking about do it.

Ok, if anyone can figure this out, this wll help.

just need som webspace and our server when its finaly activated.

It's all nonsense to me. =(

I'll get it all setup then,

and maybe we could have the link near to the count down time or somthing.

Just had a look at it, this will be easier than I thought to setup.

I'll let y know when it's all up and running.

For Mac, Linkinus or Colloquy are win.

Java chat will work so i'll post the link when everything is sred

For an easy chat option try gabbly

http://www.gabbly.com/http://brumanon.co.uk opens up a little chat window with our webpage as a background.

Ooh... it works...

Yet nobody online :(

This is what the irc window looks like

sorry about the banner andserver not up yet

For anon using Firefox (and if not, why not? ;) ) use chatzilla;

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16

This opens a tab for each irc:// link (so Firefox won't cry) and saves downloading yet another app.

Unless I've gone blind (and given the amount of Dawn of War I've played over the bank holiday its a distinct possibility) has the IRC link been posted yet? I like my XChat more than Java apps :)

ooooh...

*HINT HINT*

Firefox users should use the ChatZilla plugin.
