Dave Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Rightho, so I've created this ubernice guide for you all to follow to get onto IRC, attached at the bottom.

Klaynos Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Ok guys last night, I had an idea, which I had a little chat to Matheson and Dave about. A weekly IRC discussion with a set topic, for people to debate science issues. But there would have to be some way to control the flow of people saying things to make it be organised My idea is basically that we get as many people online at a set time once a week and the channel is "moderated" this means that only channel operators, half operators and people with "voice" set can talk. The idea being that you either send your comment to a bot and your comment is moderated and sent to the channel (Dave's idea using his Q&A bot) or that you send a request to the bot to say something, it then picks someone from random out of all the people that have requested to say something, removes your name from the list and voices you so you can speak. After an amount of time say 10 seconds of you not saying anything it could then de-voice you and voice someone else. Could have it so when you want to say something you have 3 options for, aginsts, neutral, it picks 1 from each group in turn... Just wondering what people thought of this idea?

Dave Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Indeed, it does kindof depend on lots of people being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Quartz should always be there. Sure you're at the right place? The last time I tried to open that pdf Firefox crashed... I hate the Acrobat Reader plug-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the Acrobat Reader plug-in. I have it turned off' date=' always open them in acrobate reader... did we change the channel or something because @ 19:00 Indiana time i am LITERALLY the only one here Quartz is even gone. so whats up??? Sometimes the servers disconnect from each other, when this happens if none of the network staff are around then it might take a while for them to reconnect.

RedAlert Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Is IRC gone now? I can't find the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I think the Java-based one was taken off. Try downloading a real client to use the IRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAlert Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Oh Ic. What client should I get? BTW, I think I would have joined if the Java based IRC client was still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 X-Chat is a good client and used frequently by those already on our chan, you could use MIRC, but frankly it sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 X-Chat is a good client and used frequently by those already on our chan, you could use MIRC, but frankly it sucks! I second this when on linux I use xchat and if I wasn't so lazy would use it on windows too, on windows I use hydraIRC though which works...

Digitals Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 X-Chat is a good client and used frequently by those already on our chan, you could use MIRC, but frankly it sucks! I disagree mirc is just fine, especaily for those who are just starting in irc But xchat is for the more advanced irc user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 23, 2005 Author Share Posted July 23, 2005 Nope, it seems I broke it. Will try and fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Right! The link is now fixed. More importantly, the new IRC applet is now fixed. Go to the homepage (as in http://www.scienceforums.net/) and clicky on IRC Chatroom on the left hand toolbar. This'll open the applet. Enjoy, and get as many people on there as you can!
