Hey everyone Technology forum aficionados and other interested parties,

I got an IRC chatroom set up for createblog on my server. We used to have one back in the day and it was kind of fun, so I thought I'd try to get it going again. So grab an IRC client and get chattin'! Here's the info:

Server: irc.foonetic.net
Channel: #createblog

If you need directions for connecting, read the thread or just ask. Or read this post.



Also, NickServ is running on the server, so feel free to register your nick.

Damn. I suggested this in some topic once. It got shot down immediately.

But we needed this. I'm joining now.

Edit:

Its best if we change the server to Dejatoons or LucidChat.
Because seriously, I'm having problems in connecting to your server.

Not everyone uses AIM.
So IRC is best for Chats.

You don't have to download a client. There are tons of Java based online IRC clients, but they're usually pretty laggy.

You have to download an AIM client, too.

Anyway, this isn't a replacement for CBC -- this is just something for CB's nerds to do in their free time. The IRC channel was fun, back when we had it. Plus IRC is way older than AIM, so it has a legacy on the Internet that nerds enjoy.

Ooh, see what I did there?

But seriously, the reason I put this in Technology was to alert the techno-nerds, not the whole of CB, since it's just an unofficial IRC channel for CB, like the old one.

Are you contacting it on the right port (6669)?
Do you have SSL enabled?

You have to specify the port number. Try /server ppartment.homeip.net 6669.

Server: ppartment.homeip.net, port 6667 (standard port, so you shouldn't need to specify it)

Step by step instructions on how to get into the IRC chat:

1. Download a IRC client. This is kinda like a IM Program. I installed Neebly.

2. Once you install a client you open it up and in the line where you type, enter
/server ppartment.homeip.net and hit enter.
Once you have connected enter, /join #createblog and hit enter again.

You should be in!

IRC is internet relay chat. It's a much older system, and has very few bugs. There are no friends lists, you can change your name whenever you want, and it's a billion times better.

No registration, lighter client, better chat.

And you can't use IRC on meebo.

Ok, You guys should be able to enter our channel with no hassle.

Those who dont want to risk the thing with downloading IRC Clients, can just
go to http://fantasycore.heliohost.org/tubes.php
You can enter ppartment.homeip.net from there.

Okay, I want to get this IRC thing going again.

I'm pretty bored at work and sometimes in the evening, so I'm starting up the CB IRC channel again. Unfortunately, my former roommate doesn't have IRC up and running, so I found a new server to host. The server is:

irc.foonetic.net (on all the usual ports)

Server info is available at foonetic.net. The channel is

#createblog (duh)

foonetic runs all the usual services (NickServ, ChanServ, etc.). More info is available here and here. If you get on and know at least a bit about IRC, I'll give you op status.

Questions? Just ask in this thread, someone'll help you out.

I have a free workstation available at work -- I'll try to host a trivia bot of some sort on it.

Hey cant we download Aim and use the software instead of using long lengthy procedure?

AIM doesn't have support for IRC.
