IRC Channel now operational (if a bit empty)

[Terraphon]

IRC Channel now established.

#ecigs on irc.mozilla.org

I chose the mozilla network because it's new, fast, stable and uses nickserv and chanserv (this way we can keep the channel without any hassle if someone else decides to try to take the name, etc...)

If you'd like full information on how IRC works, as well as where to get mIRC (an IRC program) check this link riiiiiiiiight....

HERE

This was requested in another thread and while we are aware that the forum has a basic chat function, IRC will allow users to chat much more quickly and in a highly organized fasion (complete with private messaging, file transfers, etc...)

I have "owner" status on the channel but will be making forum mods superops as soon as humanly possible (once they get in there and get their nick-names registered with nickserv and let me know who they are )

Happy chatting!

(If you're running firefox with the "chatzilla" extension, click HERE to connect to the IRC channel)

Just jumped on there, and registered my nick.

 

[Terraphon]

Cool beans. I saw that there was a lot of chatter going on in there last night after I went to bed...Didn't really look over it but it looked like a few people had stopped in.

I think it's a good place to go and exchange information.

New, fast, and stable it is. Anyone else noticed the MOTD on that IRC server?

- This server is for use by Mozilla developers, testers, and
- users. If you are not one, please find another server.

That's probably why it's fast and stable. Not intended to be a general-use server.

 

[Terraphon]

DOH!

Maybe I'll find another server lol

 

[tribalmasters]

Anyone using .....X!?

What's the verdict of a new server?

 

[Terraphon]

I'll find a new server and get the new channel set up this weekend.

Been WAY too busy

 

[Programmer]

I'm of the opinion that either the site admins OR those who actually use the channel once in a while should decide what server and channel to use.

What's to stop someone from simply replying "Ok guys, the new server is irc.imthebossnow.org"

We can't have random people registering a channel in ChanServ just to "own" it, leaving no ops whatsover in the channel, directing people to use his channel and then never even use it themselves.

If we want to do this right, let's decide on a network, add a link on the site (possibly with a java IRC client to make it easy for IRC newbies), and so on. Random people making arbitrary decisions and having this buried deep in forum posts is certainly not the way.

 

[art3mis]

so where did we end up moving to? my physical move is finally over so i need a place to idle in

if need be we can just use some space on my server at home here(business class cable)

 

[soylantgreen]

I haven't used mIRC in a loooong time. Good to see they're still around.

I was downloading games and music on mIRC when P2P was just a twinkle in someone's eye and Netscape was still a viable browser.

 

[Nuck]

Hey art3mis..programmer made a channel on newnet but there wasn't enough people hanging. Is anyone still around?

 

[Duncan]

Where are we up to with this? I'm interested.
