It's a great idea with the exception of having to talk to MysticMerlin! :sofa::rofl:
Your pic resized or something
I'm going to assume you are trying to send colored text though which has been disabled.

black counts as a color, you need to make sure your client is stripping all codes from the text it sends (color, font, etc).

Score. Due to the time difference I can log on and send you all messages in your sleep.
Not me you can't ;)
Also s0lid is only 1 hour ahead of us.
Is it me or the channel is +M (Moderated) so anyone not voiced / opped cannot send to channel?
Try again, i removed that... I don't really know who the heck did put that on :cussing:
Come on it gents!
knock knock, Anyone home?
I'm there. Oh wait.... so THAT's why everyone left...
:D
I am with Dave who wants to come talk to you. :rofl:
Dr. Sig.... Paging Dr. Sig...
Your needed in the WCG channel. It appears some of your patients aren't getting their meds...
What time are you guys actually on? Time differences are lame and it's quiet with only me and S0lid in there, at least that's the way it was last time I was there (been away from the cruncher for a few days :( ) IRC is way too time consuming for me because it doesn't blink when somebody writes something like MSN for example does. :p:
I idle most of the time but am on from say 10 am to 9pm our time.
I'm likely to be active at most any time. And if noone else is talking... oh well, I can chat to myself for hours. :yepp:Quote:

I'll start being on in 2 weeks or so when I'm done with my exams in uni. Right now it would just be a really, really bad idea. :p:
We need more people on the irc channel.
If you don't know how to use irc i can make little howto :)
I've not been able to sign into QuakeNet until today. It has seemed to be out for days.Quote:

We NEED more people to join the channel . :yepp:Quote:

I use mIRC and have it set to connect through a script command.. actually several given that it connects to 7+ networks at once.
Don't laugh but I'm using Opera as IRC client.

I can recommend nbs-irc:
http://www.nbs-irc.net/
It has lots of tools and it looks lotīs of better than un-themed mIRC
I tried mIRC but I didn't want to pay for it so i'm using ChatZilla for Firefox. It works pretty well so far and doesn't require Firefox to be open which is nice. It's also free.
so what is this really-an IM via your internet browser
mIRC is also free, just put up with the nag screen.Quote:

You need a client like mIRC. http://www.mirc.com
Here is some more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari...y_Chat_clients
I wonder if it's even still alive lol
The channel is very alive =P

Somebody new actually joined the channel :eek:
Welcome josh1980 :up:
XS.WCG @ quakenet
I remember IRC... and quakenet (back from when Q2 was new :D)
ok, the server is quakenet... but mirc wont connect to the server...
/server -m quakenet
right? ( I am connecting to 2 different servers btw.)
*EDIT*
nevermind... i figured it out. it's /server -m irc.quakenet.org
I haven't used mirc in years but maybe you need the full server name? "/server irc.quaknet.org" works for me on my client.
Aye yea, think I edited my post when you were posting.
Need the full thing there.. /server irc.quakenet.org
Having other issues with auto login etc... but ill get it eventually. lol
i really do hate this program... gawd
Yeah I can't stand mirc either. For just daily chatting I use xchat which is much nicer on the eyes and quite simple to use (I use the non-free build but I think the free one pretty much identical).
<bump>
Easy to forget this is here.
FWIW I use Pidgin to access it.

Oh, oh, me! me! Pick me!
Ok, so go here: http://www.mirc.com/get.html
Dl the client and just install through it
Click yes, default settings are fine...
Then click connect and put in #xs.wcg for the channel.
I just got this set up. :p:
But mirc isn't free...
There are plenty of free mIRC clients. I'm using Pidgin. It covers MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, IRC and a bunch of others.
i paid for mIRC :P
nbs-irc is win
Alright I've heard of pidgin so I will try that one.
mIRC client... mIRC is just client software not the protocol :)
I'm using nbs-irc mod with mIRC. True mirc is shareware, but it can be used for free without cracking or reinstalling it monthly.
If you're a linux guy and don't mind CLI irssi is a darn good client. When ran on top of screen you can use same irssi session anywhere you can connect to your linux box via SSH :D
I'm going to bump this shiznitt y0
anyone reading this?
yep
yep , just got in :D
Is this still going? Just downloaded a irc client on my ipad. #xs.wcg doesn't exist on quakenet.
it sure does... in it right now! irc.quakenet.org:6668 #xs.wcg
Yup still alive and kicking ^^
Around:
evntr
bakter2 (1200W)

Jaco_XS
s0lid
Blake
kik (kik2k9)
Tortel
Bull_paja (BulldogPO)

Gone the same way as the team in general it seems. People have drifted away & moved on :shakes:
is the IRC still alive ? if not i'll unstuck this thread... :)
Still is. Silently lurking. :D
