THERE IS A NEW CHANNEL AND NEW INFO FOR ICRONTIC IRC

//end edit


Forum guidelines apply (minus the cussing part). Specifically, I recommend reviewing guidelines 1, 2, 5, and 8 (i.e. rudeness, discrimination, legality, and debates) before joining. Doing something in the IRC channel can impact your status on the forum. I don't consider them to be two different "versions" of you. What you do in one will be reflected in the other.

I DON'T recommend joining the IRC chat until you've established yourself on the forum.

You MUST use the same nick (or version of it) on the IRC channel as you do on the forum. Impersonating another member is way out of bounds.

I have designated Thrax and jared as the leaders of the channel. Additionally, any Adjudicator that registers their name will be opped and have the same authority as on the forum. No one else gets opped.

I do this with some reluctance, so don't abuse it or test the boundaries. I won't have the slightest remorse closing it. I don't have time for this to be a headache right now.

For the uninitiated:
  • Download mIRC
  • We're on the Rizon network
  • Join the #icrontic channel
If you want to register your name (thereby "owning" it so people can't impersonate you), ask jared or Thrax how to do that. People with a "@" before their names are the people in charge of the channel (the OPs).

Go forth and lawlz.

    Oh my even in the IC says with a smaller group of people the IRC channel was never modded in any sort of way.

    Noobs, nothing even going on in there....

    Moderation is never a bad thing. If people behave themselves, it's as transparent as the air. And really, it's pretty hard to misbehave in IRC as long as you're not a ****ing toolbox.

    Updated my first post: you must use your SM handle on IRC or a variant of it.

    OK, I'm using my orig IRC handle-- Hawk7.
    Oh, And I couldn't connect to Icrontics chat until I changed the /j #icrontic to #icrontic.
    So, I'm connected to Rizon server and got into the #icrontic chatroom.
    Then when I type anything and hit enter it goes onto the chat window.
    But I guess no one sees what I'm typing, because I get no answer.
    Then another message comes up below it saying {Cannot send to channel}.
    Sooo, Anybody know what the prob is?

    The channel is moderated, so a channel op needs to give you what's called voice. Unfortunately there are no ops around in the channel to do so.

    If I can get on a java IRC client, I'll unmod the channel.
  • HawkHawk Fla Icrontian
    edited May 2007
    Thnx for the reply Thrax.
    I can double click on anyones name there and I can private chat in a separate window.
    I was talking with CB that way.
    But I can't post in the main chat room.

    I unmodded the channel.

    We'll try to keep it unmodded from now on unless necessary.

    So far things are going smooth! Keebs only had to ban 4 people :D

    Just a reminder. Please use you Icrontic/Short-Media name or a variant (as Keebs said).

    Failure to use your IC/SM name will result in getting kicked from the channel and possibly banned.

    If you have any comments/complaints/questions regarding IRC don't hesitate to PM Thraxy or myself.

    Happy IRCin' doodz

    We recommend registering when you join #icrontic.

    To register, when you are on the Rizon network do the following:

    /msg nickserv register PASSWORDHERE EMAILHERE

    Then after you receive a confirm code in your e-mail:

    /msg nickserv confirm YOURCODEHERE

    /msg nickserv identify PASSWORDHERE

    You should be all set up.

    cheers :jared:

    The days of irc.
    Don't know about anyone else here, but one of my first experiences on the Internet was IRC (I pronounce it "erk"). EFNet, then Undernet, then DALnet. DALnet was fun as I opped in #mIRC for a while. Then I moved on to Christian-Chat.net. Went to college and irc pretty much fell by the wayside.

    I remember spending hours upon hours writing scripts for mIRC. I used pIRCh, XIRCON and a few others on Windows and ircII and bX for Linux but never did much scripting for any client other than mIRC.

    On Christian-Chat.net I wrote some IRC Services in PERL and since I had come from DALnet I became fairly familiar with DreamForge IRCd and then Bahamut IRCd for the IRC Services. Oh the days . . .

    My days on IRC started when I was 9 or 10 years old, first with #models on Gamesnet and #ASWS on DALnet. Good times. :)

    I found out about IRC before I found out about newsgroups. I'll just leave it at that.

    That's fine. But from now on you should refer to NASA as N. A. S. A. along with others that can be pronounced as words.

    ROFL. There are some amazing things you can learn on an IRC channel.
