IRC :: BotB Academy

I have been hanging out at #8bitpeoples on efnet and thought, "Why not start a BotB channel?"
So I did.
And it's just lonely me....
lol
o_O
XD

i ll be there

great!!

i dont use irc! =( but i can use it =P, just need to know how! XD... and i can have it open all the time on my work. So i guess... "i will be there too"

gogogogog. more people :D . let us succeed with this official botb channel! grab your friends! your families! your dog! everything! YEEEEEHAAAAAAAAA!

download <a href="http://www.mirc.com/">mIRC</a>
join an espernet server
then type --
/join #botb
you're there!!

Update, We have relocated to irc.esper.net server.
same channel #botb

Come in and idle with us! :D

for the n00bs --- Strobe wrote this bit of code for Ui
download, install & run <a href="http://mirc.com">mIRC</a>
hit ALT-R and you'll get a little window
insert the following code ::

on 1:START: {
/server irc.esper.net
}
on 1:CONNECT: {
if (esper isin $server) {
/j #botb
}
}

save by clicking 'ok'
restart mIRC - it should pop you right into #BotB

see you there, bitches!!

Oh!. yes, that is correct ;D
and we are growing!

that was crazy - we had 18 people joined up yesterday
but the 13 we've got right now ...
well, it's not an <i>empty</i> room of idlers!!!

<a href="ftp://ftp.esper.net/esper/clients/windows/mirc/win32">older version of mIRC</a> without the trial version nonsense

I've added it to my join list, for gits and shiggles. Also signed up on here today. boink

Glad to have you abroad!!

Which version is without trial nonsense?

there some new ppl in the IRC channel! =D, thats nice...

remember

all noobs!...

hope more ppl join the channel so we can be more and more on botb and have more compo's =D

Rio - I don't know. I guess it was just wishful thinking. Because the older version still opens a webpage every once and a while. But the alarm sound is lot meaner!!

BUMP!!!!

CONNECT TO IRC GOD DAMMIT!!!!!; :S:;F:;a :d D:da:d a

JESUS FLYING HELLBITCHES FROM OUTTER SPACE!!!

My line is clogged!!

if you dont have an irc client, go to http://www.modarchive.org/ and open up their chat, then in it, after connecting, type /join #botb :)

Or if you want the ugly old one http://modarchive.red-heat.com/

:0

xchat2 - best (imo) irc client for windows... free and modern: http://www.silverex.org/news/

or you can use trillian to connect to irc.
and you can use msn,icq, yahoo, aim in the same program kindof. http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/
pretty handy!

i persoannly prefer chatzilla. just me, i think mirc sucks

Then add it to the Lyceum article, n000b!! =p

www.ircatwork.com :P

ircatwork doesn't work with espernet (it will connect for a few seconds and then they will kick you out of the server - as it's banned due to "security reasons"). they've got some system of their own, that would require applying an account separately: http://www.esper.net/

Haven't bothered trying that out though.

Colloguy Owns. Play tron!

i use miranda to connect to irc, but the client doesn't support multiple networks at once (and all my past days were spent on efnet). anyway, i also suggest miranda for yahoo/aim/msn/etc ... it takes up only 3megs of memory! better than gaim or trillian.

For the people who are not familiar with IRC
but still wants to say hello to the rest of
the chatters there is now a preliminary javachat
setup at http://strobenet.ath.cx/J/chat.html

you will need to have Java installed though to run it.
you can change nick with command /nick YourNick

nice one Strobe! But.........
......I heard that only ladies use javachat :p

I know!!! i heard that on the news too! =o

But......the fact is...that someone needs to be a lady too :o

Chat now relocated to http://battleofthebits.com/misc/J/chat.html

CHEERS!!!1111b1bb1

it's 2015 and irc is still a thing

Whoa did we travel back a year? I could've sworn it was 2016.

bringing back the past

http://webchat.esper.net/?channels=botb

^ is this what you were looking for?

long live irc, irc is the best and don't let any.....sharp phallic objects tell you otherwise

windows 98 se runs irc so i approve

also do not worry, them joined irc long ago

The following post is relevant to this thread and all #botb users:

|дﾟ)… what is irc

this is the revival of irc

oh hey, irc channel!

2006: something begins
2017: something ends
The eternal cycle of passing ;-;
_{FU discord}

what happened to irc? D: is not ded D:D:D:D:

Well, thankfully, it's not totally ded, just majority of discussion that would otherwise be there, now happens on discord, and some people migrated (almost) completely, which effectively means that you can't reach them this way

discord is not integrated into botb and is not an official chat for the website.
