IRC Channel...A little reminder

[Marcel]

A reminder that aswell as the forums we have our own IRC channel, on Quakenet.

#talkphotography

Pop in and say hello

If you don't know what IRC is, it's pretty much like a realtime chat version of the forums. We have a hardcore bunch of regulars in there, but we're getting lonely on these rainy summer nights, so want some new people to chat to (and raise the mental age limit...plleeeeeeeeaaaaassssseeeeeeee)

Hey Marcel - instructions as to how to access may help...??

(and raise the mental age limit...plleeeeeeeeaaaaassssseeeeeeee)

You're a mental age limit

Firefox users can use ChatZilla and click this link after installing the add-on

http://www.mirc.co.uk

For Windows users. Install mirc, click the same link above. OSX users can use X-Chat Aqua. Linux, use X-Chat.

How many hardcore regulars do you have, is the talk mainly about photography? do you sometimes stay up late?

 

[Jimmy_Lemon]

Only about 7-10 regulars - talk is all sorts though normally ends up about photography - there tend to be more people around from 8pm-2am then there are during the day

 

[Marcel]

Errrrr.......and sometimes.....and often

 

[Hacker]

I think I've just gone on there, I can see some names but no chat? :shrug:

Knowing me I'm probably doing it all wrong.

 

[woadrage]

I must admit I thought IRC had pretty much died but maybe not. Surely it's well past its 1990s peak in any case.

 

[Woodsy]

Oh, I dunno.... It's still fairly popular...

Either way, Come on peops! get involved!

 

[fletch5]

been on there a couple of times, not much happening though, to be fair it had been late

 

[Marcel]

Stay! We take a while to warm up

 

[mrgubby]

I wouldn't go in the chat room , there are several Marcels and some have fake breasts

 

[surrealillusions]

Not to mention tractors with huge stereos on the trailor...

[Mojo Jojo]

[Techno-Geek]

[Tsukiyomi]

I wouldn't go in the chat room , there are several Marcels and some have fake breasts

Thats why I sign In there for, I bring balance and order.

Yep, without you, the scales would be tipped all the way over to the 'Sane' marker.

 

[Woodsy]

/me Says nothing.

 

[Techno-Geek]

/me Says nothing.

Good idea

 

[Tsukiyomi]

Already tipped there.

a wee bump de bump

 

[EdinburghGary]

Don't like MIRC - whats the BEST free chat program other than this?

 

[Marcel]

x-chat

(The PC version by SilverEx)

 

[EdinburghGary]

Thats Marcel,

I must say, its a fantastic place - a whole new side to TP, lots of friendly faces, good advice, and in real time. The chat room is a life saver, good to speak to you all.

Gary.

 

[alexkidd]

theres also chatzilla irc client for firefox if you fancy googling it and #photography is another general purpose room of use

 

[Raymond Lin]

thats what i use, cba installing more program, an extension in FF is just perfect.

 

[EdinburghGary]

Thanks Alex and Raymond, good to know.

 

[olv]

noname script for mIRC makes it much more usable and customisable, x-chat is pretty horrific imo.
