Here are all the information you need to connect to our IRC channel.

We use the Blitzed network.

Server: irc.blitzed.org Port 7000

Channel: #lfg

PS: Rules apply!

PPS: http://cgiirc.blitzed.org/ for thus of us without mIRC.

The all newbies guide to mIRC (online version)

Please note: This tutorial just brings you online and into the LICD-Channel.
I do not explain any further commands or how the program works.
This is just for newbies who just want to chat and are able to use their own client. (See last paragraph for more info)



At first, get mIRC: http://www.mirc.com/get.html

After that, install it to a directory of your choice.

Launch the mIRC.exe, when the window with the photo appears, ignore it and hit "Continue".

Now, the options-window will appear, looking like this:



Full Name: Type what you want
Email Address: as above
Nick: The Name you want to use on IRC
Alternative: If the above Nick is already taken, mIRC will use this one.


After that, click on "Servers"

Look for "Blitzed" in the Dropdown Box, hit "Connect to Server".
If Blitzed is not on your list, then click on "Add Server" and type in the information shown in the following picture.



Now, mIRC will connect. When it's ready, the favorites-window will appear.
You can type in "#lfg" and click on Join (highlighted in red).
Deactivate the "Pop up favorites on connect" checkbox at the bottom of the window and close it if you like. (highlighted in blue)
I like to the "Enable join on connect" checkbox. (highlighted in red)
I personally think the window is just annoying.



If you accidentally close that window, to join the LFG IRC Channel you just need to type in the following command:

/join #lfg



in the chatbar at the bottom of the program.




Voilá, you did it. The easy basic part ends here. Happy chatting.


For those who want to spend more time on IRC, I can write a small tutorial about more features like:

• highlights
• auto-performed commands at startup
• channel and usermodes and stuff

If anyone wants it, just say it.

For Macintosh users, I've heard lots of good things about Snak. As an IRC client for Macs, I don't have any direct experience with how to set it up to go to the #lfg channel, if anyone wants to PM me, I'll be sure to include the information here. Sending screenshots would be helpful as well.








There are other clients out there that may be worth taking a look into. I'll give you a short list. I'm sure you can find others on your own.

• Windows platform: X-Chat ^screenshot, Trillian, Chatzilla ^screenshot
• Mac platform: ircle, X-Chat Aqua ^screenshot, Colloquy ^screenshot
  
• Linux platform: X-Chat ^screenshot, Bitch-X, WeeChat ^screenshot
  

In theory, if you go to licd's irc java client, you can join #LFG by going to the bottom and typing /join #LFG

That will take you to LFG. I tshould create a little tab for LFG

Some basics:
If you hop on IRC and want to register your user-name so that no one else can take it, you might want to use this command: /msg nickserv register (password) (e-mail). You don't need the parentheses and you'll have to supply your own user-name and password, of course. To get the server to recognize you after you've registered, the command is /msg nickserv identify (password). Once you've done that, your user-name will remain yours for 30 days from the last time you identified with the server. It's useful, because if you ever find that you get disconnected from the server and you log back in, but can't get your user-name, you can GHOST yourself. To do so, you type /msg nickserv ghost (username) (password), and the server will release your name and disconnect the other connection. If someone is using your name, this works too, and it will force the other user to change names and you can get yours back.

To change nicknames, you simply use the /nick command. If you wanted to be known as Sooba, you would simply type /nick Sooba.

To emote, that is, to perform an action, use the /me command. (example: /me waves. will show, for example, "Bodhisattva waves.")

Um...is there anybody there? I tried to come and see you guys, but there was only one op-ed and that was all.

I'll be ideling there from time to time. Im a guru when it comes to all blizzard games except Starcraft. And i also enjoy writing long and complicated sentences and poems etc....well that should be enough to start a conversation.

/whine, it's dead in there.

Actually it depends when you are there...
I try to make things interesting..... Morb helps a lot...(Hi Morb!!! [just couldnt resist putting that here])

Yes.... atm i am bored

Edit: People should come there more often!!!!!

Wich reminds me, havent visited for like 10 days or something...

I linger there often.

Im thinking of hosting a Zombie-rpg over teh IRC, tell me if you are interested then i migth actually make it happen.

I used to be there almost all the time. Then school stared, and now I'm only there for an hour or two.
Zombies are cool.

And of course

Hi Char!

That might be the main reason... there are (some) intersting conversartions going on there, but cause school started, there arent many there, except in the evenings

@Morb: Hi again :P

Migth aswell announce it here aswell:


Hosting a Zombie-rpg in the IRC channel that we will all learn to love. It will most probably be on sunday evening:ish. Around 19.00 (gmt+1). Reserved for time-change depending on ammount on people signing.

well if you have firefox and you also have the chatzilla extension you can jin the channell by typing
irc://irc.blitzed.org/#lfg
into the address bar of firefox then youll auto join with the username that you set up in the chatzilla prefrences

just sayin cuz i dont really wanna have to download mirc and i already got this so i figured why not try it out
i did it works
could someone please join im all alone

And here you can download chatzilla from their official site. Enjoy.

you don't need to download mIRC

Quite right, and if you'd read the previous posts, you'd see that it was already mentioned.

too bad it was empty...

That happens sometimes. Keep checking in.

the second I signed in just now

<Icecold> yo
<Morbidus> 'sup
<Morbidus> bad timing - gotta go
<Morbidus> see ya
* Morbidus has quit IRC (Quit: Rest is good for the blood)



ps. he was the only other person there :-S

Although I'm completely new here, I'd like to suggest a script leniency. It is fine to tell people which books are being read and enjoyed at the moment by someone, so why not music? I use a harmless script. Its sole purpose is to tell people what music I am listening to at that moment, by reporting it in a single line as if I had just typed it myself. Just a thought though

Should this be taken off the pinned list? This was a good idea but it never took off.

As far as I know, the IRC channel is still available.

Concerns like these should, however, be PMed.

It is still available.

Of course it still works...
(I've been there,that's why!XDDD)

I won't be back on until Thursday night.

I have to admit: the conversations I've had on that channel... have been "mind-bottling." (See "Blades of Glory" for reference)

I'm going to blatantly post in here to say this thing is fully of win, and that new people should use it. I'd tell old people to use it, but some of them scare me and will bite off my head. If you need a hand figuring out how to get on, there are various people that you can pm and ask for help from. Most notably Bodhi who has the info in his sig.

Its a good time, even if you just chill and read the retarded stuff a few people say. (coughI'mnotretardedcough!)


We almost always have at least two people in the channel now, reaching around 10 during peek hours. Its a good time as long as you don't expect people to be talking 24/7. All in good fun.



P.S. Bodhi's fan club is selling naked pictures of him on the black market.

I didn't start this...

Lies. all Lies.

Well what else are we supposed to do when them?

Keep em?

I do Imean......no...they just get sold for profit...they have no other use to me.....

Just keep lying to yourself. That's cool.

Y'all had better have behaved while I was gone... ::waggles a finger warningly::

Why would I behave? I don't even know what's going on!

When have I ever behaved?

Behaving is over-rated.

My computer's still old, but I put in some more RAM and reloaded everything, so it's running quite nicely (for a 7 year old 755 mHz with 512 RAM, that is).
I may try to use IRC this weekend, then. If I can remember how - I used to be fairly proficient with it but it's all leaked out of my mind over the past few years.

D= I miss you guys!

I finally got my computer back, so after school tomorrow I'll be on IRC <3

;~~~~;

Well welcome back then.

=] Thank you Dante.

*ninja tackle hugs Avara*

HI AVARA. ITS GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I have no internet at home for the moment, so I cannot do the IRC thing for the next little bit.

So I just got a working headset that I didn't ask for from my ex-stepdad.. He thought it was broken, but the truth is the earphones were off-balance, making certain sounds faint while others louder, altering everything (it helps you hear the instruments in most music, but you can't hear any voice. an example). Maybe I'll try this irc thing. mehbee.

for some reason when i use the cgi version in the url provided i am able to connect but when i try from mirc it's refused. i have a feeling it's my ship's network but i'm not sure just what's causing it to be rejected.

i shall be haunting irc a lot, so expect me there (user cal2jack as always)

Alternatively to typing out everything, if you have mIRC already installed on your computer if you click the following link it should bring you up and connect you to the lfg irc

irc://irc.blitzed.org/lfg

Necroposting is bad. Don't do it.
