The RealityFactory IRC Channel

Post by Juutis »

We've set up an IRC (internet relay chat) channel on the freenode server with Jonas and Ardentcrest. We have a cool bot and the channel is registered to us. Now all we need is you guys to come chat with us.

The channel is #realityfactory
And the server is irc.freenode.net


There are a couple of ways to get to the channel:
1.) Use a separate client program like mIRC. So download it and connect to the server, either with the options (tools -> options -> server) or with the command '/server irc.freenode.net'. Then join the channel with the command '/join #realityfactory'. Now you're ready to start chatting with us! If you have problems connecting, just post a reply and I'll write a more detailed guide.

2.) With Chatzilla or a similar web browser add-on. Just enter the URL [url]irc://irc.freenode.net/realityfactory[/url] and you're there.

3.) Via Ardentcrest's site: http://filestore.rfcommunity.0lx.net. Just click 'IRC Chat Room' on the top of the page.


I'm hoping to see you guys there. :)


**EDIT**
I'd really like to see this topic stickied. 'Cause I'd really really really want to see this thing happen, as do Jonas and Ardent.

You can also use this Java based IRC client that works from a browser:

How is IRC different from a normal chat?

If you mean normal chat as in msn and stuff like that, its a lot different. Many people are able to talk at once. I think this could be useful for people in a pinch while using rf. Instead of waiting for days for a decent response they could head into the irc and see if someone there could assist them. Not to mention its a good place to hang out and talk about games and ect...

If this was stickied it would maybe become more popular, or even if there was a link on the site or forum somewhere easy to access.*hint*

Possibly... But this thread has went one month with out a post. I'm thinking some communities irc channels work better for then others. We could very well be one of those that it just will not work for. :|

Thanks, QoD (or whoever pinned this)! I really appreciate it.

Yeah, could be. I also believe that people aren't that familiar with IRC and so it's kinda hard to come there. And then there's the time differences as we have users from all around the world. But still I'd love to see more people chatting there. Don't be shy guys. :)

PS. Haven't seen you online in ages, jonas. I miss you. :(

My irc client expired! :( I didn't even know I was running a trial version. But i'm back to using chatzilla for firefox so I will be back on there on a more regular basis!

Also many thanks to whoever stickied(or what ever the past tense for stickies is :lol: ) this. :mrgreen:

I used to auto join when I got on the computer. I guess I should set that up again. :D
