Steven W Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 It's been a few year since I have messed with it. It's an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) program. I think that most folks who still use these would agree with me that mIRC is a better program and is still be developed however, it's not freeware. You can evaluate it free for 30 days:http://www.mirc.com/Seamonkey includes chatzilla, IMHO it's a waste it's java based and always seemed very slow to me.If you google "opensource IRC" several results come up which you may want to check out, the first result is Besirc:http://bersirc.free2code.net/index.php/homeit has a Windows version. Never tried it. If you find a good one that is still be developed would you let me and anyone else that may be interested know?Those of you interested here is a link to some info on IRC:http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/new2irc.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave.Net Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I really loved MS Chat back in '99. It just worked. It was a free, easy-to-use irc client with a clean interface and I didn't need any of those xtra features for nerds that other clients like mIRC were offering.Secure? I don't know. I never had any problems back then but this is another century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 IRC? I just use netcat or telnet...BTW there's also the (not so tiny) "TinyIRC" : http://www.tinyirc.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenoitRen Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Seamonkey includes chatzilla, IMHO it's a waste it's java based and always seemed very slow to me.ChatZilla rocks. It's easy to use and has no whizbang. It's JavaScript-based, not Java-based, or it'd be REALLY slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darks0ul Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Comic chat is REALLY cool. Just try to imagine how it does all that comic drawings... the original paper is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven W Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 @LLXXYou're correct; my mistake. The last time I used this was a few years ago it seemed very slow then. I just tried it out with Seamonkey. It' much improved. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
