Unofficial Official IRC Channel

Some, like me, find it difficult and frustrating trying to keep track of the chat going on in the game's built-in chat pane, so I've opened up an IRC channel for anyone who wants a more slow-paced, in-depth conversation, or just a place to hang out with other Glitchen. This will be a good way to stay in a conversation in one window while playing the game in another without having to constantly keep your eye on the chat.

The channel is #glitch on irc.foonetic.net. If you are unsure how to connect to IRC, I'm sure you can Google up a primer. If all else fails, just use mibbet.com to connect. I am the admin in the channel, and will be appointing chan-ops when and if the need arises. :)

Thanks, and see you there!

P.S. You will almost always see my name in the chat pane, but I might be 'lurking' a lot of the time (not actually there). Feel free to send me a message and I will see it when I get on.

P.P.S. Please be nice to your fellow chatters, and don't do anything you think might get you smacked (or kicked out). Thanks!

  • Sometimes Global is boring, maybe this will serve as a fun replacement when I'm not into the conversation there ;)

  • This is the 4th or the 5th unofficial official Glitch IRC channel that has been posted. How about instead of starting new ones use one of the old ones.

  • I wasn't aware of that. What really would be better is if the in-game channel itself were an IRC channel accessible from outside the game... but that might invite trolls and ruin gameplay. Maybe if TinySpeck set up an Official Official IRC channel, we could all use that.

  • Going back through old forum posts, I found two other addresses for previous IRC channels: one on lurkmore and one on ircstorm. Neither contained any people, nor were they even registered. If there is another channel that people are active on, please do let me know.

    As of now, I see this as the only existing IRC channel at the moment.

  • That's the problem, none of the channels was ever active. I had a registered channel, the most people I ever had in it was 4. So I gave up.
    I once posted a suggestion for an official IRC channel and it received a lot of resistance and negative response.

  • Ohh, totes in when I get home. Love IRC, haven't had a reason to use it in ages, though. Colloquy, here I come! :D

  • Well, the channel will always be there and registered. And unless there's a Netsplit or a problem with the server I ssh into, I'll always at least be lurking there via screen. You can always park yourself in there if you like and wait for people to come around. :)

    I wish that there were simply a way to open the in-game chat pane in a separate window so that it could be read and managed more easily, maybe with a longer scrollback and a hilight function (letting you know when someone mentions your name). Then this urge to form an IRC channel would be very low. ;)
