Setting up IRC [pictures]
Here's a guide on how to set up IRC, so that we can use that, instead of the crappy Chat software. Don't get me wrong, you can use that if you want, but IRC is just way better, and is not a resource hog (performance, not money).
This guide, by the way, is made for the IRC client "mIRC".
So yeah, you begin with downloading the program. You can get it from here all free.
Now, you just install it, which I believe you can figure out yourself how to do.
Here's come all the configrational stuff, which is quite easy.

Once you boot mIRC, this window will pop up

Here you just press continue. Once your trial runs out, you'll have to wait 4 seconds, before you can press the continue button.

Now you're in mIRC, and this window should pop up

Write the following, in the fields
Full name: here you just write your first name
Email-address: here you write an email-address that works
Nickname: here you write your DreamViews name
Alternative: you can leave this field clear, though I suggest you put in atleast something.

Once you've done that, press Server in the menu on the left. That will bring you to this menu

In this case, I've marked Quakenet, which is because I used this guide on another forum aswell. Instead, you try and find EnterTheGame in all those folders (press E) and once in the ETG (EnterTheGame) folder, you click the "Random Server".
Now your IRC is set up for the ETG network, and you can access it all.
Last, but not least, you have to make your mIRC client join the #DreamViews channel autimatically. This is done by pressing the button marked by red in this picture

Now, a window should pop up. In here you press "Add", and write #DreamViews in the channel field. Check the "Join on connect" function, and press OK.
You're ready to chat, now. Hit the lightning icon in the top-left corner, and mIRC will do the rest. Press CTRL+TAB, to change which channels you're in.
If you want to customize mIRC, this is easily done, by hitting the 4 different coloured blocks on the top-toolbar. In here, you can change how different stuff i coloured, like background and all that. I'll leave you to do that.
This is by the way not an official channel, but a substitute for Kaniaz' channel, which, apparently, nobody is using, because of the disappearance of the web-IRC client Kaniaz had running on his website.
Get chatting :D
