Doggie Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 Hows about an IRC channel d00ds? i set one up if u want to try it.. on EFnet under #msfn of course come in and ave a lookie
MSNwar Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 Can you write a simple guide please. Like what is IRC ( chat prog) and where do we get EFnet and what do we do first? That is the common questions usually asked when we try this
ThA_FiLeR Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 MSNwar, its not that hard, once you downloaded Mirc you can seleect from a list of server where you will have to select any of the EFnet servers, then it'll ask you what channel to join, then put #msfn and hit enter.. its as easy as that..
sedative Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 I'm there and nobody else is Oh well, I'll idle there.MSNWar:Go to http://www.mirc.com/get.html and download mIRC.Once installed, fill in your nickname and other information. Type into the Status window /server irc.efnet.orgIf that server doesn't work, try irc.easynews.com or irc.limelight.us (two of my favorite EFnet servers)Then type /join #msfn
[PseudoKiller] Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 I was there ... for a bit but I am at work and can not stay there. I will join in from home later today.
SupaFly-TNT Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Being a IRC vet, id say efnet isn't a good channel to start in. First off it has no chan services or nick services, therefore making it so that anyone can assume your name, and anyone can be an operator on your channel and deop everyoen and take over your channel, (ive seen it done) Best network would likely have at least chanserv and preferably nickservices.SupaFly* If you don't know the definitions of the above here are someChanserv - Allows one to register thair channel and assign operators/moderators to a list so that a set group will *always* be operators or moderators and won't allow a random person who happens to enter an empty room; say #MSFN , and be automatically opped without any checks.Nickserv - Allows one to assign a password to their unique nickname and will not allow others to assume the name and do things in someone elses behalf.
Aaron Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Yeah, I thought the same, EFNet will only be temp area until we can find a good IRC community that supports Chanserv and Nickserv. Also some people have reported problems of connecting to various EFNet servers, so we will switch soon.Ideas for other IRC Servers are welcome. :phone
Snoop Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 quakenet is stable, has L & Q bots to protect your channel ,barely ever has netsplits. and i wouldnt need to be on 2 different servers
Jay_Stealth Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 Theres only 5 peeps that idle there come on MSFN !
Doggie Posted April 1, 2003 Author Posted April 1, 2003 umm.. well ya need an irc server eg irc://irc.msfn.org and promote it on the site
FthrJACK Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 irc.stratics.com has nickserve and chanserv.Doggie.. why does our sig take a week to load even when im on a 1mb cable line?
Robertson Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 irc.stratics.com has nickserve and chanserv.Doggie.. why does our sig take a week to load even when im on a 1mb cable line? did that with me to the first time around
sedative Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 It takes forever because it's on an overloaded slow-a** server. I offered to host it but nooooooooo.
