We have IRC

This is my first time hosting an IRC channel, hope I did everything right:


Server is:

Server: irc.gamesurge.net
Port: 6667


Or try this link: irc://irc.gamesurge.net/giantbomb

Once logged on, you will be on the Gamesurge servers. Join #GiantBomb, and you'll be on your way. Hope to see you there!

If you can't find it, let me know.

can someone jump on and test, to make sure it's accessible? Thanks.

I just put "irc.gamesurge.net" into my box thingy who's name escapes me...? Cuz I did that and it's just trying to connect a ton..

lovely will do the test now

edit - works just fine:)

sweet, i see you sizu

"FireFox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (irc) isn't associated with any program."

Do I need to sign up for this site first? Or should I try Safari or Opera?

oh yeah you should DL mIRC from

 www.mirc.com

free!

I did it! it works!

Or if you have Firefox you can get Chatzilla, that way you don't have to install a separate program.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16

Bump.

Time to trek into the realm of IRC for the first time ever...

Lol Lack, you came in with "afafdasfdsdfsd" as your name. Sweet.

I think this should be stickied so its easier for people to find

It's working for me

Hmmm seems to be pretty hard for the less computer minded users.
So i created a quick chatango giant bomb group.

If thats okay with the staff.

IRC is easy and more popular

lol it is more popular? and easy? you have to download a program, install it, set it up (so as not to get hacked) then click a link.
Chatango, click a link and your chatting.

Seems chatango is easier, and as for popularity? the chat has been up for less then 5 minutes lol. if you dont like it www then dont use it, but i was giving an easy to use alternative to IRC.

IRC is easy its like 5 button clicks and thats it. you dont need to set it up you have it installed click the link on the first page and it brings to strait to it

I'm in

There are plenty of web based IRC clients. That way you don't even have to install a program.

yea just find one and its as easy as that

bump for awareness
