Thread: DV IRC Chat Resurrection

Oh yeah! IRC is much faster.

Come on over, its where the sexy people are.

xox, put that in the server window. click connect. and then join channel #dreamviews

Well I'm in, it's like flash chat all lubed up.

Mine keeps on saying "Unknown error" while trying to connect.

mine says im connected, but i cant seem to find you guys >.>

You found us!

Xox...JOIN US!! Fix it.

Haha its been like an hour for trying to connect it.

IZ and Ne-yo are both helping me.

Edit - It worked lol, come join us guys! Thanks IZ.

Come while it's a .

Holy crap! I've been hoping for this for AGES! Nice, Nina! I freaking love you...


Be there in a jiffy.

For those of you who don't know what IRC is... basically it's like flashchat but much, much faster.

Ahh crap, doesn`t work from school. Looks like flashchat still has its uses...

Would anybody mind if I spammed this to another forum? (Don's dreaming and astral projection forum, specifically. There's a thread there about using our Chat here...)

Are we still using regular chat?

It's still there and it still works. Why not? People who can't access IRC can still use it, so it serves a purpose.

Is this the same chat that Kaniaz had set up? Cuz after launching Ircle (for Mac) I clicked on the shortcut that I had saved way back then and it took me to irc.darkmyst.org too.

However, I got a "Connection refused" -

Yup that's it, mow if only there was a way to put it into this forum...

Ps, Aquanina you rock!

Make the chat...less fancy and take out some sound effects. maybe that would speed it up.

Course, if it were that easy, it would have been done a loooooooooong time ago.

I don't mind at all! In fact, it would be really interesting.

Oh and I <3 irc, so much better.

I think its a bad idea to ressurect this as it is quite annoying to set up.

I think what we need is something that is a bit more integrated in the forum, i have been looking around for ages but found nothing promising, i will continue looking.

I don't know how many will agree but something simple is generally more attractive.

There's nothing simpler than IRC. There are more problems with the glitches, features and lag the Flash Chat produces than there is with simply downloading a single application and running it. Just because it's something new to someone, doesn't mean it's complicated.

But perhaps there's a vBulletin IRC module/hack of some sort?
I looked around briefly and found some mentions of such. Though I imagine the DV forum's vB lisence holder will have better luck searching the official vBulletin forum where all the hacks are posted/discussed.

I hate the Flash Chat, but i think that if we want the IRC chat to be more easily accessed we should try and have it integrated into the forum rather than users downloading and installing a file.

IRC is better, but the method in which doing it is not the best, integration would be better. I have spoken about it before but it got nowhere and nobody really supported it.

I'll ask asher about it at some point.

Lucid Seeker...this is a temporary solution to the flash chat problem. It would be nice to have IRC integrated into the forum, but as of right now, we make do with what we have. So viva la IRC!
