IRC? Y/N?

As long as I don't have to manage it or anything, then I don't care one way or another. If it's made, I'll probably never do anything with it, and if it isn't made, I won't be sad that we don't have one.

AS long as it doesn't fail as hard as the last one.

Wouldn't hurt, therefore Y.

I like the idea of having a 24/7 chat area, plus I already have XChat2 for Windows.

So yes, I vote for an IRC chat.

YES.

Sure, sounds kinda fun.

Sounds like a good idea. Hell, it might just help with activity.

Ja.

I think this is a good idea.

I'll be able to talk to people when I cant sleep
"I'm not alone anymore"

Sure I'm game for it!

If you can point me to a nice free solution for making IRC work for Opera@USB 9.20 U3, sure.

You don't need Opera@USB, though that is a good choice.

A good alternative is Pidgin Portable (formerly Gaim Portable, they name-changed due to AOL threats).

Err, U3 was kinda the key there. I know that I can use those programs on a U3 drive, but a nice integrates solution would be nice.

I'm an IRC whore, it's the only thing that manages to drag me out of luker-dom. So I vote yes.

*rubs his eyes* Huh? Raptor is still here? I though I killed you we lost you way back when. Anyways, I've tried and failed at getting any IRC program to download over here. I'm thinking that the Military has a block for those kind of programs. --.--;;

I'm cool with it as well.

So does anyone have a plan for implementing it, or what?

Tried HydraIRC? It's what I used back in the day.

Last I checked, it was free, easy to set-up, was a small size, and had a clean, customizable UI.

Soooo,
When are we going to actually going to get the IRC setup?


I'm bored :(

Kill? Me? No....

I just mysteriosuly disappeared. And accidentally clicked the TFS link and saw the revolution had taken place.

And damn, it's too late for me to be Trotsky... Oh well. I guess I'll need to find a better explanation for this ice-pick wound I have.

I'm in for the idea, just as long as you guys can keep it under control, unlike the last IRC we had.

I vote yes. It sounds like a really good idea to me. As long as there's a way to keep banned members out.

The problem with keeping banned members out is a little thing like their IP.

Some people have the ability to switch their IP around, so they can enter through several different windows. We can ban them by their name, but as we saw with a particular asshat of a member, they kept barging in and pretending to be other people so they wouldn't get caught.

Sad that they still haven't let their banning go, that they have to keep bothering the board altogether.

That was the first one I tried, since it worked for me on my desktop. The Army, in it's infinite wisdom, has blocked that site on the network I use. All the other ones I have tried don't work either. I think my best bet is to simply use an online Java site like I did the first time I jumped in the IRC. Sad part is that those take a long time to load.

I should be back in the states in a few months, it looks like I might even get home sooner too. =3

The guys in charge of the military sound like dicks with each passing story I take in and each complaint that is noted.

It's a wonder how you've stayed there this long without going batshit insane, JAF.

Also, does anyone see a rather obvious win for the IRC being re-made? I think I may weep.

The problem last time was that we had a network set up for the forum when really a single channel on an existing network would have sufficed like, Espernet or ZiRC.

Sorry to barge in, but do you have FireFox, Freak? If you do, check the Add-ons section at Mozilla Site and head for the extensions. They have a IRC Chat thing called ChatZilla. Try that.

Sure, I'd be down. What server/ channel would it be?

My answer is yes.

Oh god yes I need a reason for IRC to take up memory on my computer.

I quite liked the old IRC so, yes.
