IRC Suggestion

[Ameecher]

Thanks A LOT - that's really helpful ^_^, saving precious seconds and not having to learn Ameecher's boring line of code

I already told you twice that you don't have to learn it.

As opposed to saving many many more seconds by having your computer do it automatically.

And it isn't code.

Well, I have updated the main chat page, hope people are happy.

Hmm, you suggest members to use Shareware. Here is another list of nice clients, if your is missing, add it.

That's because orudge loves mIRC for some ridiculous reason!

Unfortunately the way I see it, there are the complicated clients (mIRC, X-Chat, irssi etc) that do their job but only if you figure out how to use them, and the easy-to-use ones (Miranda, etc.) that are indeed easier to get the hang of but are a lot less powerful and generally annoying in many ways. It's just the way IRC is!

And you think this is specific to IRC?

Well, in general, it tends to be the case that Windows users make up the majority of forum users, and aren't necessarily so likely to know what an IRC client is. mIRC has long been the most well-known and well-used client for Windows, and yes, it is shareware, but one can still use it for free of course (with no time limits) - and besides, is it a bad thing for the author to be paid for his work? I may add in links to some clients for Linux and OS X at some point.

I wouldn't worry orudge, as usual, computer oneupmanship has returned to TT-Forums.

What bollocks - mIRC is fine - if you don't like it, don't use it, and if you don't like the fact that orudge only supplies links to shareware, tough.

Who gives a flying f...? REALLY!?

to continue on orudge's post, a good OS X client is the freeware X-Chat Aqua. there is also Colloquy, more adjustable but not nearly as nice.
