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...

[acolyte_to_jippity]

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
