Chat?

Oh..any chance on getting the info?

[SaintDog]

Masby, you may post the information if you wish, although at this time, I will be unable to visit the channel or over-see it.

I already have a channel setup and everything!

Server: irc.undergroundcandy.net
Channel: #vBT

It has been up about a week now. Maybe not that long though.

Nai,

SaintDog setup a channel shortly before you posted about your channel. I wasn't sure if he had decided to move the channel or what, so I didn't say anything.

Since he did say to post the information, here it is:

Server: irc.openprojects.net
Channel: #vbt

Software
Eventaully, vBT will have a Java Web Based client, but in the meantime you'll need to use a standalone IRC client.

- Windows IRC Clients: mIRC and Pirch. In addition you can use a program called Trillian that manages your instant messaging services as well as IRC.

- Mac IRC Clients: ircle and Snak.

- Unix IRC Clients: IrcII, Epic, and B itchX (can't provide link due to censored word options on this forum).

- PalmOS: You can even use IRC from your PalmOS Handheld using either IRC for PalmOS or
upIRC. Both applications are shareware and can be found on PalmGear.

- If you use a different platform then search for "platform IRC client" in Google to find an IRC client.


How To Connect
All you will need to know what server and channel to join to enter the chat room, or channel as they are called on IRC. In almost any client you can use the following commands to enter our channel:

/server irc.openprojects.net RETURN
/nick your nickname, or handle RETURN
/join #vbt RETURN

I went in, but no one was there :/

Hmm, I was in there most of the day and I'm in there now.

[dmjof]

Now I am in there. I didn't know he had set one up. Cool

It is not bad, but I am not sure that it is worth $50.00 - Do you know of any free based clients that could be used here? Most of the money I receive is placed back into ViperHost to maintain/pay for the servers.

www.mirc.com ?

just go to a server join it.. (doesnt really matter what.. u could try the one they gave u)

then type /join #vbtemplates (or whatever you want the name of the chan to be..)

now type this:

/msg chanserv register #vbtemplates <password> <chan description>

of course dont include the '<' '>'

then your chan is registered and belounges to you and to you only.. now some irc servers provide bots (for free) to see if they have any type:

/msg botserv botlist

now if they have bots you'll see a list of bot names.. choose the one you want and type this:

/msg botserv assign #vbtemplates <botnick>

now the bot will join ur chan..

to change the channel topic double klick in the chat field..

if you need any help with this I'd be happy to help you..

I know of a chat server that uses ChatSpace which is a client. I think the URL was www.hotspace.com or something like that and not sure if it's free or not.

erm......

lets make sure ya'll get it

irc = free

mirc = free

server = free

unless you want your own server or anything.. you can just download mirc.. free irc chat client.. join a server and make a chan.. and all for free.. now that aint to hard is it?
