#dosgames needs more users!

The Dosgames chatroom needs more users, it's dead way too much. If you want to know how to get there, read this: http://www.dosgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53

There's usually someone there at most times. A java IRC client would be cool to put on the forum too.

And while you're there, visit #nukum!

Hope to see more of you on there soon.

It's futile. Very few people who visit the forum use (m)IRC. And, if a Java chat EVER gets added, I shall hunt down and slay the one who creates it.

Because then I can plug my site, and besides, Dogbreath said I could.

I've never seen you on once... stupid time differences.

anyhow, there are usually only 4 or 5 people, half of them away.

This is starting to be spam.

Get A JAVA CHATROOM and you will get 2 times the users!

Is anyone in favor of IRC over a Java chat room? What about a compromise, a Java IRC client you can use from the web, like PJIRC?

http://www.pjirc.com/main.php

Does anyone know of a good free Java chat client they can recommend?

Joris · Post by **Joris** » Sun Aug 24, 2003 11:52 am

Whatever...

I just downloaded mIRC and joined the chatroom

it looks pretty cool

I think that's what the above people meant.

Anyway, I know GH uses JavIRC, but I think that might be shareware.

Just hurry up and get a java IRC client. I want to get to the part where I boss everyone around in the channel!

A Java-IRC chat isn't that hard to put in, I believe, and it's easy for everyone. They allow you to just pick a nick-name and sign in (it looks like you're signing into a chat when it's really just an IRC server and channal masked), is graphical, can be put in a link on the message board (so instead of install mIRC new users can see the big friendly "join our chat!" button at the bottem of the message board and would be more likey to join and talk) and most importantly, it's still an IRC channal so those of us who know our way around IRC and who don't prefer to have our connection slaughtered by a Java application can still use IRC clients to connect... no need to modify the actual channal at all!

See http://www.gamehippo.com/ for an example of a JavIRC chat.

I can add one to a version of subsilver so that you can chat on the main index at the bottom. Want me to?

Post by **Dogbreath** » Tue Aug 26, 2003 7:26 pm

Sure... but e-mail it to Emmzee when you have, I can't add it-don't have the access to do so.
