Outsider IRC channel

Post by Hālian »

is now a thing. If you have an IRC client, point it to ##outsider on irc.freenode.org; otherwise, please use Freenode's webchat. I'm Carl_Miller there, and am usually on from morning to late night EDT.

I also went ahead and made a collaborative notepad into which can be dropped links to things someone might want the channel to look at, etc.

So yeah. Go forth and chat! :mrgreen:

Bump to draw attention to the fact that I am a derp and added Mibbit (which Freenode disallows in favour of their own webchat).

Well no time like the present--

I honestly have never done anything in IRC. Is there a favorite, trusted client? If so, do I need to do anything other than download/install?

Most modern IM clients will work with IRC. I use Adium, myself, but mIRC is popular on Windows...

I actually prefer to use the forms for discussion as I can check in the evening after work and putting the kids to bed.

If everyone starts using the IRC channel I would end up missing some interesting discussions which I enjoy reading on the forums.

My 3 cents. :)

^This, minus the "putting the kids to bed" part, as I have not yet produced children.

Sorry. I do occasionally meddle with IRC, but I haven't managed to get the thing to work for loroiunion yet.

Which thing are you using? mIRC, Xchat, Adium, Trillian, Pidgin, Freenode's webchat...?

I don't think I've touched IRC in over a year.

So this project turned out to be stillborn huh?

There used to be an active Outsider IRC channel a while ago, but I dunno where that crew went.. =\

PS: xChat-WDK and even KVIRC are decent, perhaps even irssi or weechat might be worth considering >=D
xChat-WDK is the best choice for novice users on Windows, if nothing works use the webchat!.
EDIT: xChat-WDK became HexChat :EDIT

PPS: for whatever it's worth I'll be on ##Outsider chat.freenode.net IRC channels for the foreseeable future.

It's not stillborn, I've just been unable to access Freenode for a while, having been moving and all.
