no. an irc server w/ channels. you use an irc client to connect, join a channel, and chat that way. nice, clean, simple. much simpler than vent, just no voice.

hell, it's even possible to make bots that automaticaly transfer files if you request it.

He may be refering to something like "TeamSpeak", mIRC or other third party communcations product... I previously used TeamSpeak while playing Battlefield 1942... great for speaking to other team mates without other team knowing our plans, and it worked rather well...

However I find messaging through steam to work just fine...

no no.

not teamspeak.

we set up an irc server..

fuck it. here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat

mIRC is a specific client program you can use to interact w/ and access/chat on the irc network (and it's servers and their channels)

What would we use it for? Just regular chat? If you wanted a chat room, you could ask Zero to implement it into the website.

I'm confused on what we could use IRC for?

wtf uses irc anymore? Reminds me of dinosaur text chat rooms prior to ventrilo and teamspeak. The IBIS steam community has a chat room, so unless this is just for idling purposes and you want to take gaming back to like 2005 when irc and gamesurge was awesome to idle and dick around because steam and xfire were only starting to perfect chatting while gaming. Plus you would need clan admins to monitor the irc channel, and it's probably going to be too much of a hassle. Steam has pretty much defeated several big time communities from using irc anymore.

Wow I would have assumed you guys would have known what IRC is.
I agree we should have a channel, it would be fun and bring the community a bit closer... or start more flame wars.
Either way :wtg:

Nope he didnt miss anything... you just want one more place for your fan club to gather.... All "Real gamers" have a great IBIS Vent they can use.

my fan club? hell, i got few fans. you probably know i'm not the most loved member here (at least among the clan) vent hold 15. but people don't use it. most of the time, everyone in there aren't even playing cs...aren't even ibis players.

the irc was just an idea. it'd be a place to hang. don't much care either way, just thought it might work out.

oh, and vlad, come now. i thought you above childish insults.

I think this is a great idea.

I believe I already suggested that we should use IRC, but my post got lost in the rubble somewhere.

Anyway, +1 to this.

Once upon a time, I used to write mIRC scripts, including a Telnet socket relay scrip (mainly used for news relaying), and then went on to write IRC bots in Python.

Im not insulting anyone... Im just shocked we have an IBIS Vent (that all admins help pay for) that no one uses anyways...
and honestly thats not a true statement cause Ive used it with my friends many times whn playing L4D and L4D2...
or hell anyone could have come in many a night when Zero and I have used it to discuss Server issues...

Point being there is a really great spot for all to use and people dont.. so what would adding somthing else help?

No one deleted the thread moron. I just merely finished the sentence from the the thread topic. If it was deleted, don't you think it would have been gone in the forums ?

As for Walter, here's 50 cents and call someone who gives a shit about your irc adventures.

I didn't know that my money went towards that. I thought the vent was for special people only. Does anybody even use the vent? If so ill start getting on it.
