I might check this out later. But I bet it’s a ghost town now, for a while at least

@joshua I meant at the moment while there’s almost nobody here…but then if it was running through the hack I suppose it wouldn’t matter lol

@sam thank you very much, sir.

@jimmy um you’ve been unbanned for a few days. The ban was set for 24 hours and thus it automatically was removed after that 24 hours time period was up.

Lots of activity now. And yeah if you’re having any doubts about joining, don’t, because it’s full of awesome. :3

If you’ve joined the chat, feel free to post here with the nicknames that you use to keep a “sort of” database of who’s who.

I have two names ‘Joshua’ which I talk on very rarely. and the one you’ll almost always see me takling on is “root” (5 points if you are familiar with what the reference is too. I’ll give you a hint. It’s a linux/unix term)

Can any one here recommend a good Windows/Multi-platform IRC client? The current offerings seem rather lacking, but maybe I’m just missing something great somewhere.

For Windows I recommend mIRC. As stated above it says it is only free/usable for 30 days but there’s always been a way around that by clicking ‘continue’ after a few seconds (I’m really surprised that they’ve kept that in there).
Also for Windows is HydraIRC and KvIRC but I don’t recommend those. mIRC is more popular and frankly, in my opinion, mIRC is easier to setup and use.

As for multi-platform. xchat aqua is on Mac and Linux and there IS a free version on Windows, however in my opinion, the free version of xchat for windows SUCKS compared to xchat on Linux.

Also for Mac (and Ipad and Iphone – although I believe it costs $2 on ipad/iphone) is Colloquy — It is very popular.
Colloquy for mobile
Colloquy for Mac

Finally, on Linux, there’s xchat and then for people that like text-based/command-line based there is irssi (which is what I use in screen on my server)

In addition to Multi-platform, Firefox has an addon which is an IRC client called Chatzilla.

I use ChatZilla. I always forget to join the nerdfighter channel since it is on its own network

@lucylane Oo, thanks, I’ve used Y-Chat (branch of X-Chat) generally up til now, but kvIRC looks like a pretty clean looking alternative (it’s no Colloquy, but when I’m stuck on Windows I’ve gotta find something)

I do think I need to post a little notice. Not completely necessary, although it could be helpful.
For the month of January, we have imposed a TEMPORARY rule of NO TFIOS SPOILERS.
Anyone that posts TFIOS spoilers (regardless of whether they are true or fake) will receive a 24-hour ban. Also, to show that this is completely serious, I will tell you that someone has already received a 24-hour ban (before New Year’s Eve).
Just wanted to show that the Nerdfighteria IRC staff are SERIOUS about keeping the chat spoiler-free and enjoyable for everyone.

@maximumrfan yay a fellow irssi user. We have several of those on the network – including myself. Personally I prefer running it in screen to keep it open (also I have it run on one of the servers, so theoretically I can access it from anywhere via sshing in. Although I don’t have a laptop ..or a smartphone (believe it or not, apparently there are SSH apps for smartphones. If I EVER get a smartphone I am totally going to get an SSH app – it would be useful since I have SSH logins for all the Nerdfighteria IRC servers)

P.S. Have you been on the network? I don’t recognize your display name/user name.

I do keep putty open. but occasionally I disconnect (home internet, ya know). can’t stay sshed into the server 24/7 although most of the time I sometimes am connected for 24h)

I, too, noticed that…The impatience of some people is unbelievable. :/

I have seen it happen far too many times

Scumbag nerdfigher: Is in chat for 40 seconds. Declares chat dead.
