We have set up an IRC channel, #Techious on Quakenet.

If you don't have an IRC client, I would personally recommend Chatzilla for Firefox. Other people like using mIRC.

This is designed to help communication in the clan and just be a laugh. I will personally be pretty active on there, and it would be nice to see a fair few clan members on. Randomers are also welcome.

If you want to read about more advanced useage of the functions in Quakenet, visit their site.

I would also request all staff members Auth themselves with Q (instructions at above link) so we can give you op powers. I will write a set of instructions on how to set up Chatzilla and your account on Quakenet later.

I hope to see you there.

P.S. This is not a replacement for the forums, this is supplimentary.

i <3 mIRC, but its blocked at uni, not sure if chatzilla would work but guess could check it out now..

btw, i suggested we use this while back so im glad its finally all been set up ^^

Yeah, you know how slow we are

Can't beleive they would block IRC, that's just crazy

lol its crazy talk, but its what has happened . anyway i have installed the chatzilla thing, but am not sure where to open it from as of yet so everyone has to bear with me ^^

Tools -> Chatzilla. Or just click the IRC link (first one in my first post - Just tested, that doesn't work, hmm).

i have literally just discovered this now ^^

right, am trying to connect to quakenet

mirc now appears to work (sometimes) whereas chatzilla is still trying to connect for me

Well IRC is a huuuuggeeeee and popular way for gamers to communicate, so I'm not suprised that places will block some of the clients!

See you on #Techious

There is now a "Forum Chat" link at the top for those that want a simple method that doesn't involve doing anything.

lol its good, just come pop along and have a chat

lol dnt seem to wna work for me at all atm, gna try again some poin hopefuly get on n av a good old chat tya lot aint spoke to ne ya for quite a while lol

keep on trying, takes a while for me to work.

oh and try changing ur nickname after shutting down and opening it cos that makes a difference as well.

(this is mIRC btw)

lol yeah workin on gttin mirc wrkin its being odd atm so il try some other time lol

u have to pay???

no you dont, its free and after the subscription runs out you just click continue and dont have to pay

(ive had to "pay" for 400 days now XD)

Nope, it asks you to but then lets you continue anyway. Just like WinRAR and other software.

haha beat gozzer to it xD

Nah I just thought yours was illegible, so I posted as well

no mine made perfect sense :O

Or you can use Chatzilla (like me) or the one built into the forum. Completely free.

all of them are completely free!!!

mIRC technically isn't, but miht aswell be considering you can use it fine without paying.

I <3 IRC, and I use Chatzilla...but is there anyway to get an msn style alert when someone talks?

I don't think there is a way to notify, which is why I shied away in the past.

wooooo hehehehe got it wrksing
