I got sick of the chat over at NHQ booting people randomly, so I made an IRC room for nerf.
The name is #nerfchat and the server is irc.darkmyst.org::6667.

Updated rules, as of Sep 8 2009.

1. No unwanted advertizing or solicitation of other forums, Chatrooms or webpages. (this includes NSFW images)
If someone asks you for the information you are welcome to post it ONCE.(unless its NSFW)
Mass PMing of chat members for such activities will be treated with hostility.
Any "Bot Like" activity like posting links when entering or having a link or incredibly
large exit message will also be treated as a blatant disregard of the rules.


2. No spamming.
However clever it may seem to you at the time, posting the same word or sentence over and over again
will annoy the mods and result in punishment.

3 No scrolling.
Asking if anyone is there every 15minutes until someone answers you is considered scrolling
among other things. Many users have highspeed connections that allow them to be online 24/7
reading back through the days activities is much easier to do if you do not have to wade through pages
and pages of some asshat begging for attention.

4 (new rule) Any suspicious scripts that allow you to bypass being kicked or devoiced will result in
an immediate ban of you, your ISP or possibly your entire Continent depending on the extent of
said scripts.


The mods will devoice you for first and minor violations. If devoiced you can PM the mod and ask them how long or why you were devoiced, you can leave and come back in a few hours or you can patiently read what is going on in the chat until your voice is given back. Anyone who uses any sort of script or rejoin macro to bypass punishment will be kick/banned.

You can use your own IRC client or use an embedded one, such as this, provided by MrBadWrench.

So how do the people with less computer experience get to this chat?

[bobafan]

Get Trillian.

Trillian: http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/
Find a tut on youtube

[Zorns Lemma]

If you want a dedicated IRC client, rather than the embedded one Mr BadWrench linked, Firefox has an IRC extension (Chatzilla), and mIRC, Icechat, and X-chat are all good standalone programs.

I actually wouldn't recommend Pidgin/Trillian for IRC.

[rbtying]

Everyone disappeared... Is it actually empty, or is it me?

[nerfsharpie6]

Yeah I joined the IRC room you suggested and it was filled with assholes. Unless you changed the IRC destination and I ended up in the wrong room. I'll be trying to find another IRC chat with things I actually know...like computers. Good idea though.

I was rather disappointed with the quality of the chat, given that prescribed on these forums.

[bobafan]

What do you expect? Half of the posts here are nubs bashing each other and it is IRC. People aren't going to be posting writeups.

[aetherguy881]

The info you gave isn't clear enough. The server also isn't appearing on my listing. I'm using Pidgin, not Trillian.

Librarium-Online presented it nicely here: http://www.librarium-online.com/chat

It's my understanding that there needs to be a pound symbol somewhere in there.

[BustaNinja]

There was some of that, like me making jokes and stuff, but if people would like some info on anything, they can talk.But most of us seemed to be content just making jokes, which is ok. Brings us closer as a community. I mean, I've now talked to people I've never even talked to, so yeah.

[hereticorp]

Heh, 3 people in chan at the moment, and that's including ChanServ.

Where're you at Boba? No bots?

[Lynx]

Shit, guys. You are really fun.

THE CAKE is not transient.

THE CAKE is therefore not "real".

[bobafan]

The cake came into being and will pass out of being therefore it is transient and not really real. (sorry, philosophy class is on Buddhism at the moment)
Anyway, you admitted defeat last night.

There aren't any bots on the channel, but I am trying. If this stays popular, I'll make more ops.

Aetherguy, the pound goes in front of the name. #nerfchat
I really don't know about pidgin, I couldn't figure it out for myself.

[Aimless]

Oh, yes, that was quite fun last night, a debate over the validity of the cake that lasted about an hour or so, then just picture swapping for another 2. So yeah, it was quite refreshing.

[Foamfoot]

Is it just me, or is nobody on?

[bobafan]

There are 12 people at the moment.

[imaseoulman]

So I just popped over to the chat room and I like it. It's a bit more "free" in how you post and the fast pace is great for brainstorming.

[Shrub]

Nobody's here.

[Galaxy613]

There's 18 people on. That's a little more than no one.

[Zorns Lemma]

I gave it another whirl today and I think I'm going to leave this one on my autojoin.

[SchizophrenicMC]

Why not set it up through Chatango?

Sorry if it seems I took too much libery on that one. Takes no time at all, hehe... Don't kill me with a rain of deadly foam, please.

[Foamfoot]

You guys suck, everybody knows the cake is a metaphor for the Iraq War.

Yes, we are still on the cake... we fail.

NO! It's actually representative of things fish-shaped, rhubarb, and volatile!

On that note, I need an electromagnetic imaging rhubarb... and some fish-shaped volatile inorganic chemicals.
