Thread: #PGD irc.freenode.net

    #PGD irc.freenode.net

    i mean like a year ago or more i know #PGD on freenode server was very popular, now all there is are me (JernejL), Almindor, TAK2004 and the _FPCBot.

    i wonder if could some of you get in, add it to autojoin and we can have some regular #PGD related chat

    #PGD irc.freenode.net

    I joined up awhile ago, but no one was online the 3 seperate times I tried. So I sorta gave up.

    I'll try again though.

    The problem is thath i i connect to some channels each from one server.

    You know some software (windows) for connect to differents irc-servers at the same time?

    mirc and x-chat can both do that..

    here is how it works in x-chat, first get a free xchat build that doesnt expire:

    here is how you do it in x-chat:


    and for each server you want to open on startup each separately, like for #PGD:

    You could always make a client availabl on the site that connects to the network and the channel... some people just don't like having to fire up seperate software.

    We added one to our game at the weekend and IRC use has gone through the roof. But, I too tried to chat in there, I had one decent chat I think... most of the time no one else was on.

    If you want a good Java applet IRC client I can recommend a very good one :-)

    No JAVA! :evil: (I can't stand JAVA in browsers...)

    Use GAIM instead... http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

    But it might work and achieve the required result... more people on IRC, and besides... NO INSTANT MESSENGERS :evil: (I can't stand INSTANT MESSENGERS)

    JAVA alway siezes my PC up, almost without fail. Which is primarily why I hate it.

    Why not use iPro (Turbopower's stuff) and write an IRC client like you said?

    If anything I might consider Flash. It'd allow me to have control of such things as saving logs, etc... and I could tie it into other features of the site aswell.

    I'm no fan of coding in Java so I won't be doing that and I don't believe in adding something to the site that I cannot design or manipulate myself to make it'll fully compatable or in line with the site's design requirements.

    I personally use GAIM to access IRC. I already use it for everything else, don't know why Athena hates it so much though... :scratch: ...but I believe it may be possible to connect to more than one server using it. Unsure though, never tried it myself.

    As for the #PGD IRC channel that is up right now. If you want to have a real-time chat with other PGD members it is a place to go, plus both the Free Pascal [size=9px](#fpc)[/size] and Lazarus [size=9px](#lazarus-ide)[/size] channels are there aswell. [size=9px](best way to contact FPK and FPC/Lazarus users/developers)[/size] I personally don't have time to keep that close to the community [size=9px](running it doesn't always mean being a part of it )[/size] but I try to drop in every once and a while. The channel was originally started by 2 members that no longer come and visit PGD even. :? Eriken and Avatar. They really really wanted it so I said go for it. [size=9px](You can find the thread somewhere in the old threads somewhere here.)[/size]

    Personally I feel that IRC chats are great for getting fast information, but the information gathered is easily lost to others as nothing is saved unless one of the chat participants makes the effort to repost it here in the forums. Which involves logging and all that good stuff. Not everyone is willing to go through that trouble.

    Though FPCBot might want to help with that.

    I didn't see you online at all today Will, yah slacker!

    It doesn't matter how ya'll get on so long as you do.

    And just so you know WILL, any time I'm logged in, my nick is The_Wicked_Flea, GAIM will keep a full log. It's really easy to repaste it in the forums.
