Talk States Irc

**Panterro** · 03-12-2007, 12:18 PM

Admin, have you ever thought about having an IRC channle for talk States.. it maybe a good idea.

For those about to ask what is IRC..

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. IRC is a massive network of text-based chat channels (rooms) and users all across the world use them to chat about subject pertaining to the room they are in.

And for more info on IRC..

Geez Panterro!!! I think you are loaded with good ideas. This is very interesting! We will be saving the PM storage.

I have had a client sitting idle on and off in #talkstates on a couple different irc networks since I started the site. Right now I have it on EFnet, Quakenet, and Undernet. I have not decided which I want to use, I have always been an EFnet user in the past, but Quakenet is biggest now and provides some nice channel services, X service on Undernet is also not bad. I might add a web based irc client to the website in the future.

That would be best.. IRC can be a tad tricky to use, and we will have people of all skill levels on here, so a Web based one would be best for all concerned with useing it. Thanks Admin.

A sailing forum that I belong to has scheduled chats. You can log on whenever you want to, but they have a schedule when people will actually be on. Occasionaly they will have impromtu chats where people just want to talk.

Here is a link to their site to show how they do theirs:

That is about the same as I would set up. They have an IRC channel with a couple web based options to access it, and links to standalone IRC clients for "advanced users".

It has been about a year since this was suggested, but I finally got around to setting it up.

People can either click the chat link on the navbar or download a standalone irc client and connect to irc.quakenet.org #talkstates
