Okay, our IRC channel is going dead. we need more people to make it fun again. It used to be that people would chat at all hours of the day and night and there was always something great going on. Now it seems that nobody is there except some idlers and a few talkers.

So, snarkpitter! Go to http://www.mirc.com and download MIRC! then connect to a random quakenet.org server and join #snarkpit!

post questions here if you have trouble.

IRC? What IRC?

I've only ever once or twice been on an IRC. Not my taste at all. So what's the fun about it then? A mass msn-like chat or such?

What was spoken about then bytheway? Mapping subjects or just anything?

Most of the people who aren't 'one login wonders' with a single mapping question generally join the channel once in a while, and it hardly kills to stay in the same room for a length of time. How else can we make fun of Nickleplate's freakishly big face? <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

It used to be that if I was mapping or modelling or whatever I'd just pop IRC on my second monitor and chat when the mood took me, but at the moment I'm on a single monitor and haven't done any game dev "work" in ages, so my past IRC frequenting times have been cut down to nil. I'll try and get back into the habit <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I used to stop by and hang out and I ended up getting to know one or two pitters much better.

But alas, I can't connect to IRC here at college, because of something they've done with the network.

It's like a multiperson MSN chat, mixed with the General Banter board. You can talk about anything. It's much more fun when more ppl are on.

Instead of getting MIRC, you can just dl that firefox extension.

As I said before, I'm quite literally blocked off of, specifially, Quakenet because of my ISP postfix on my IP. Pretty stupid ... I guess a lot of people are spamming through comcast.net email addresses or connections or something. (And there's no way to port that server thing in chatzilla that I can find)

I could try with FF though.

Please do, crono.

RS6, try changing the port you're connecting with. they may have just blocked that port.

Didn't work. And the indentity server they suggest they wont respond to ... I don't think there's an easy way for me to get in unless I install a completley new IRC client ... which I'm not doing.

I'll try to sign on sometimes, but I don't really have long periods of uninterrupted time for chatting anymore.

I've been in the channel since the beginning. I miss scary_jeff, Gwil and Monqui. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">
Once, we spoke about bread. I miss that day. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

I just downloaded ChatZilla and I'm in... first time on Snarkpit IRC.

A bit empty at the moment, yeah...

Real time chats tend to also attract real time idiots. Trying to have an adult conversation is nearly impossible most times. Cutting loose and enjoying oneself is a good thing, but stupid is universally frowned upon and I have a fairly strict sense of what is and what is not stupid. I prefer forums. The post is usually around long enough for multiple people to read, and remembered. Especially if its stupid. People can usually run those types off. Chats, if you do not have someone willing to kick them, the chat sucks.

Anyway, I prefer forums.




There is no history until something happens, then there is.

I didn't even know the snarkpit had an IRC channel. When I'm in IRC my handle will be "naklajat"

cheers

It is possible to have an adult conversation. But only when most of the idiots went to bed
