miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 Hi all, First of all thanks to szupie for the idea. We've a new irc channel for this board on Dal.Net - try joining any of the dalnet servers (irc.dal.net) and join the channel #Xisto - it's up for a test run and we've had quite a few of the mods already visiting the place. Let's give it a shot for a few days and see if we can use this to help out in the Hosting Support Program... plus it'll act as a much faster alternative for the shoutbox. Flip side is, if this works out well, the shoutbox here will almost die out.. Let me know your opinions/views. 1 EmoleWhellBon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SingleDaddyof2 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 This sounds like it could be a nice idea but I have a question: What is an "irc channel"? Please forgive my ignorance but I'm not familiar with the concept of "irc". I get the impression that it's some sort of instant messenger or chatroom. Just a reminder: When introducing new ideas/concepts, please don't assume that everyone is familiar with all technical terms and abbreviations. I'm eager to learn about this new "irc" thing and give it a test drive. So I pasted irc.dal.net into my browser but it timed out. Am I doing something wrong?

miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 All right no probs First grab an IRC Client: mIRC (http://www.mirc.com/) is the best, according to me.. Once you have that, start it and type /server irc.dal.net and you'll connect to the desired server. Next you've to type: /join #Xisto and you'll be placed in that channel. OPaque suggested we create a channel called Xisto and get all members from Xisto, Xisto and Xisto - Web Hosting to come together there... All three channels and existent now. Feel free to join any of them. Joining is done by: /join #channelname. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudy1405241475 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 You guys are really getting intense here. I stay away from irc because it’s addictive and you burn up a lot of time, especially in the warez department. The kind of devotion I see here you guys all deserve a medal. I have too much responsibility to devote this kind of time.Good luck with the project it’s a good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I know about that, is that it is some kind of illegal/unethical software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 Agree with Rudy - irc burns your up completely.. it's the most addictive chat among all... but lets behave like grown ups (lol) and try to limit ourselves to the real purpose of this channel.. lol.. yeah, I can clearly see how far we're going to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szupie 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 We can also have meetings take place on IRC, as it is easier to do so in a chatroom style... chatting... protocol... That is, IF we would have meetings... but if we do, it'd be great to do so with IRC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wwheeler 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 What I would also like to see is a mod/admin there 24/7, not the same person, but someone that could answer questions about the site, get reported posts, and the like, so that there is always a Xisto face in there for people to chat with, I could make time to fill the night shift.....-William Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
