Title: Official ChaosForge IRC channel opened!
Post by: Kornel Kisielewicz on April 23, 2006, 15:45
I'd like to inform you all that thanks to Turgors initiative DoomRL and ChaosForge has an IRC channel now. The IRC channel is located on irc.quakenet.org, name of the channel is #chaosforge. Feel free to drop by -- there's always someone idling, myself included.

We seem to be quite spread out across the globe, so, in theory, there should be a good chance to catch someone online.

I don't get it, I'm typing in irc.quakenet.org in the address bar, and it's not working.

That is because browsers dont do IRC by default. I'm pretty sure there is a firefox plugin with access to Quakenet though.

I reccomend looking on Google for "mIRC"

A question about it though - Will it stop working in 29 days time?

How do you use it? Or, to start, what does it do?

Nevermind, I downloaded it and slowly pieced it together. See you in the chat room! (At least, for the next 30 days.)

mIRC won't stop working after the 30 day "trial" period. It just asks you to register it after those 30 days pass, but it works completely. If you don't like the "please register now!", you can register it or crack it :>

Trust me, Going that far just to remove a "Register me!" screen is really dumb.

Testing your antivirus software on a warez site is akin to putting a lead brick on your cars accelerator and pointing it at a wall.


I am sure that everyone can cope with pushing one button every time they start it up.

Did he mean 'crack it' or 'download a crack and use it'?? :p

That depends entirely on your skill. I heard that mIRC is easily crackable. ;)

Duh, what's the point tough -- if DoomRL had a nag screen encouraging you to register it for a small fee would you also try to crack it? :-/

If I could fully play it, I wouldn't bother with my skills. But some think that cracking stuff, for example mIRC, is fun. The extra five seconds one must wait before getting on #DoomRL is pure agony!

The channel is still alive and there is often someone there.
I think, the either topic should be made stiky or there should be a separate page with an invitation to join #DoomRL

What time are you are trying at? I myself hang there at something like 11-19 GMT+6 and then often again at 21-01. I see Andrew and Glowie quite oftenly at the later part, and Anticheese, Turgor and ThomasP used to hand there at earlier hours, though I do not see then the last week or two. There are other, but they are mostly silent.

I'm not silent. I'm merely procrastinating my plans of taking over and making Kornel bid my will. As in, give me all his vodka.

Edit : You can also visit the channel from the forum (if you're logged in -- use the IRC Channel (http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php?action=chat) button on the main button bar to run a Java IRC Applet that connects you directly to #doomrl!)
Title: Re: Official DoomRL IRC channel opened!
Post by: bleak on August 02, 2007, 14:55
It'd be a good idea to link to the IRC applet or have the info to connect to the server using a regular client on the front page of DoomRL.

Post by: Kornel Kisielewicz on August 28, 2007, 09:14
As it's not only DoomRL related now, the channel moved to #chaosforge, update your AutoJoins!

And if you didn't visit the channel up to date, now is a good occasion! You can join using the IRC Channel button at the main button bar :)

Note to everyone; IRC has been resurrected! Currently, it's only active for four-six hours, but I'm more often then not, me, Gargulec, ntc, or any combination of the above are on IRC, and this announcement should bring more people in, so just have your IRC client beep a couple times when there's a new IRC message, and idle for as long as your computer allows, because a conversation /will/ start up, whether it be in a couple minutes after you join, or a couple hours. Bring your own Monty Python references. ;P
Also, changes in the DoomRL code will be put onto IRC, so it's also a good way to see when something new has been added, something's been fixed, stuff like that. How is that not good? :D


tl;dr version: COME TO IRC OR I WILL STEAL YOUR KIDNEYS! >:(

I'm almost always on IRC when i'm home. Feel free to jump on and have a chat!

Spoilers abound :)

As of late, I've been unable to join the #Chaosforge IRC channel as I keep getting the message "IP range used with the sole purpose of evading bans and trolling.." Any suggestions?

EDIT: Or, I suppose, would anyone mind joining #help on Quakenet and asking what the heck I should do for me? Seeing as that's the only form of support that Quakenet provides.

For those who does not know it already: channel is as alive as it has always been, and it is waiting for you. If you seek madness, DRL advice, a chit-chat with Almighty Kornel himself and at least one misanthropic Pole that is likely to become the new Evil Overlord, come and pay a visit. Activity there is appreciated, and you can meet interesting people, bots, trolls, troll slayers, developers and assorted devils etc...

Alright, time to necro this thread!  ;-)

The forums seem dead.  But I assure you, it is not the case.  There is Chaos afoot, but it is taking place behind the scenes, like all forms of Chaos.  So if you want in on what's going on, join us on the IRC channel -- lots of hints and what-not are spilling there now.

Keep your eyes peeled...
