IRC Channels... What are some good ones?

[Dopefish7590]

Post some good IRC channels here and provide a short description for each...

#help irc.freenode.net Good help for newbies at IRC and can show them how to use stuff.

#linux irc.freenode.net A good Linux help server with people that can, and will help you with any version of Linux.

[Superczar]

I can't post the ones that used to goto, they all contained the words "mp3" or "video"... :p

[Deftones]

I'd like to post mine as well but I don't think a lot of people here would approve of major game cheating channels ;s

The server I do Idle on with a lot of active channels is irc.rizon.net

[Tetsuro]

Anything except #3DRealms :D

[Superczar]

Anything except #3DRealms :D

Old #3drealms is dead though? The regulars that were on it at the time moved it over to another private server and basically it became #IMHOSTFU

Last time I checked Gamesurge had no more #3drealms... :confused:

[Kevin Wolff]

I think someone runs #3dr on Quakenet. Haven't checked in almost a year....

[Dopefish7590]

Anyone have any interest on ressurecting #3drealms on irc.freenode.net ?

I'm online right now and I will be for some time.

Any other cool IRC servers?

[ryche]

I remember the old #3drealms irc channel. Those were the days. Well...nights too since I spent most of my nights coding scripts lol! Memmmorriiies.

I hear ya ryche, we had some good times how bout it? :)

Anyways, it would seem now that the new #3drealms is really 3DRForum Steamchat...

[Dopefish7590]

True... Well for the interested, I am online on #3drealms right now.

[Qbix]

I'm usually on freenode as well (#dosbox)

I recall that quakenet is used for games with multiplayer support.

[Dopefish7590]

Yes, quakenet is for all games though, not just multiplayer ones.

[TerminX]

#eduke32 on freenode ;).

[Rider]

#wz2100 & #SDL on freenode.

Gee, lotta people on Freenode... :)

[ADM]

I ran #3dr with TX and someone else I can't remember now.. it died off not too long after.

People are nowadays on Steam chat.

Does that mean I'm sitting on a dead channel every day?... wowzers... :insomnia:

[Dopefish7590]

Ill be sure to join that channel now... Also check out #3drealms, A few people go there daily.

[sherrybaby]

Sooo...is there an IRC channel for this forum now?

[The Baskinator]

Heh, I still go in #maxpayne.

[peoplessi]

Quakenet is the place to be if multiplayer games are your thing :) Most teams have their channels there, and matchfinding channels too.

3D Realms irc-channel would be cool, but I think there aren't that many people here that are familiar with IRC.

[The Baskinator]

I'd help run an IRC channel for 3DR, if someone's interested in resurrecting it.

[avatar_58]

I like the way steamchat is setup. I mean most of us use steam anyway to play games, so the chat is 'just there' without any need to reserve nicknames or worry about extra clients/commands. Just join and you're in. Overlay too for games that support it.

[ZuljinRaynor]

Yeah, the 3DRForum Steam Group is basically this minus all those macros and things you can do on IRC. It's crazy in Steam Chat. :D

I think that is an awesome idea Basky.

[Phait]

9 out of 10 people in IRC are pricks. 2 out of 10 in Steam chat are pricks. Take your pick :D

[sherrybaby]

What is steam chat?

[Phait]

www.steampowered.com Valves game distribution platform, but it's quite nice as you can view chat within most games you have - even ones you didnt buy online from Valve (uses some kind of overlay).

[ZuljinRaynor]

Steam Chat is the law. :o

[sherrybaby]

Canit be used when not gaming?

[ZaphodB]

Yes it can be used when not gaming. You don't even need to have any "steam" games to have a steam account.

[sherrybaby]

interesting...

[ryche]

Does anyone really still go to the #3drealms IRC channel? I thought it died off...

<- saw my old post ha ha yeah memories...

The Steam chat for the 3DRForum has most of everyone from here chatting on it.

[Crosma]

Does anyone really still go to the #3drealms IRC channel? I thought it died off...As superczar said, the channel moved and renamed. First to #imhostfu on a private server, then to something else (when I was on holiday and the channel was down). It is kind of still around though. A lot of old #3drealms cats still hang around there.

Yep pretty much. :p
