So yeah, I'm bored beyond belief here and I thought it would be an interesting idea to make an irc room for us all -not just brycers- where we can share ideas and so on. I'm even tempted to throw in a triviabot :) But yeah, I brought this up before, I think that the more people join the better it will be for the community and the users at large. Any of you know how to use IRC? :) Drac

I do, i wouldn't be sure what server to put it on, however...

well, we could make it on gamesnet and pass it off as game modelling (since it has to be game related). or we could do it on efnet -where i'm stationed right now in some rooms. the problem with efnet is that there needs to be someone trustworthy 24/7 on the channel, or for someone with a server to set up an eggdrop bot to keep the channel alive. otherwise the moment ops leave any user can become op and it's not pretty. we could also trade models. Drac

I use IRC all the time... I've brought this up in the past but nobody was willing to mod one..

I'm in if this come out. Frankly, the java chat here is not so cool... S.

Okay, then we just need to figure out where we'll put it on. I'm a fan of EFnet, because I'm used to it, but I'd like to have you guys around online as much as possible. or gamesnet, undernet... I don't know, I'm open to suggestions.

Well... I have used irc some but not a lot. I would sure use it if it turns out.

all right, i can see the interest's here. i'll set up the room and such and i'll invite you all when it's done later today :)

what is irc????????????????

I'm a big fan of gamesnet myself. they seem to offer the best service.

yeah ornlu, i'll figure it out. brholte: it's called Internet Relay Chat. It's an old old precursor to ICQ and so on, and functions parallel to the net. And it's still in full swing. You haven't experienced the internet until you've sampled IRC :) go find mIRC. download it. fiddle with it. google :)

will do!! thanks br

Yeah, IRC is definitely the absolute best in chatting software. (well mirc for software irc for code) It's fast, simple, and is how chat should always be.

Let's use GamesNet. What channel, if it's not a Bryce-only channel?

Oh, and if you set up the trivia bot, I'll wait in line for a chanserv. Trivia bots are so fun!

You should have a look at halsoft.com if you think irc is good.That is a virtual chat where about 45 or more can be in one room and display pictures (avatars) use gestures and 12 can tour around the internet together.wherever the tourguide goes they follow.One catch it cost $10 a month.Lotus programming.

Interesting, but... not worth $10. IRC is definitly good enough for me.

I know. and for me it is 17 because of canadian funds. But thats how I got started in cg. It is all geared for 20 minute art contests.

There's a ton of irc servers out there. Hinchu had a brycechat on dalnet for a while.

grins.....speaking of chat lines....irc is good, but it doesn't even compare to The Manor....it's relatively new, and is in a pay period right now, but registration is only $20 a year, and is rumored to be dropped once programming is complete. This is a place where each of you could even display your art in the room your chatting in itself... The Manor closely resembles The Palace, for those who know of it, but has been greatly improved. People are represented by pictures, avatars, (i use playboy *winks*) and the room is actually a picture...text comes from speach bubbles rather then in a scroll.... if anyone wants to check it out, the main download page is www.madwolfsw.com chatting is free, but for special privelidges like building and wearing the avatars, the fee applies....although...*grins* some manors, listed in the site directory with a green cup beside the name, have a guest=member pass code, which allows ANYONE to have these abilities, regardless of registration or not....ours is one of those manors... if you guys wanna go check it out, see LNH in Lady Night Hawk's place, or the programmer, Scottsman, in the Main Manor, Dan in Ye Olde Manor, eternity in Wet Spot, or Cal in Al-ka San.....grins...tell em passion sent Ya (fair warning, some manors contain explicit content and alot of nudity)

That' s like halsoft but the rooms are user created and mostly music rooms or paint contest rooms.Avatars are usually models and you design them with fancy graphics.

well, lots of places have many rooms....ours has around 200 rooms right ow, and that is just ours, so the music rooms are off to the side to be used when ya want to, but we have main chat rooms where everyone gathers... grins

if you guys wanna try it out, Cal said we could sponser you guys at our place....is mostly Gor lifestyle, but is mixed also, and everyone is welcome....can even have a seperate entrance for you if you dun wanna pass by us weirdos winks

No comparison to halsoft chat.Which used to excite.com Sorry not even close.LOL Try it JC for free a week.

*grins* i've been to halsoft a few times, and personally, i prefer Manor over excite, yahoo, irc, msn, palace, and yes, even halsoft. lol lemme see if i can find a screen cap from one of our rooms, if anyone is curious.
