Title: IRC Help Topic
Post by: jflorence05 on March 24, 2010, 03:35:57 pm
I had not seen this topic explained in a lot of detail, however I have seen plenty of questions on how to use IRC in general in a few different sections and thought I would post a guide as to how this software is used. Feel free to close the topic if I am remaking a duplicate subject, otherwise I hope this information can be useful to someone.


WHAT IS IRC?


WHY USE IT?


WHY NOT JUST USE THE FORUM?


HOW DO I USE IT?


OK, WHAT ABOUT THE SPECIFICS FOR PU?

(be sure to replace PASSWORD with the password you wish to use, and EMAIL with your email address. Don't worry, you won't receive spam.
ALSO: BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR EMAIL, A CONFIRMATION CODE WAS SENT TO VERIFY YOUR ADDRESS. ONCE YOU RECEIVE THIS , GO BACK INTO IRC AND TYPE: /NS ENTERCODE VERIFCATIONCODEHERE


mIRC download link: http://www.mirc.com/
Pirch32 download link: http://dapatchy.com/downloads/
(Note: Pirch is an outdated client and no longer has updates, you will need to manually add everything.)


If you have any questions or concerns feel free to post, I have been using IRC as well as owned, operated, and built IRC servers for over 10 years.

Ok, for today, I've been having a persisting issue. It says that I couldn't connect to the server. Can it be because there are too many people on the IRC worldwide? :-\

Copy and paste the error and I'll help ya out. The IRC network can handle thousands upon thousands of users so there should be no issue there.

Note that it's not mandatory to register your nickname. However this can be helpful when you plan on joining us on a regularly basis since no-one can steal your nickname.

Ok, that seems to be a java-run IRC client that uses features of Python. Are you trying to connect off of another host website ? Or are you just launching this from your own PC? I only see a back-end download on QWEBIRC's website. Usually when it can't resolve your Hostname it's because there is either a proxy setting, firewall issue, or an issue with a setting on your IRC-client.

Have you checked your firewall settings to allow it to pass?
Also try using another app, if it works on a different application, there is an issue with the config in that app.

I'm using the link from Webchat, and it's the first time this issue is persisting.

I haven't changed anything from the last time I succeeded in getting in the IRC.

Ah, Ok, I'm sorry I thought you were saying you downloaded a copy of the webchat, not running it from the website.

The java-chat isn't working right now from Rizon's host site either. It's nothing to do with anything you're doing. Java-chat is extremely unreliable. I would suggest downloading a client app if it is possible

Ok, thanks for your reply. Since I have a limited download (0.4 GB only until the end of the month, I know, it sucks), I'll save it for next month.

I have X-Chat by default on my computer, but I don't seem to reach the actual channel of PU :(

Are you joining rizon before trying to join pokemon universe?

Yes, I'm putting /server irc.rizon.net [6667] as suggested by florence, but to no avail...

EDIT: I finally got in the IRC. This time, I didn't put the [6667]. The program automatically found the port number.

Here is a screenshot of X-Chat. Check it against what you have and make sure all the settings are correct. If so, it should connect.

See this line:

+b means that you're banned from the channel.

Bragging about your WOW 'ability/skills' is not a good way to get know people. But seriously, get a life, learn how to communicate and get on with people. WOW might be all pretty and great, but I won't advise anyone to play if their whole lifetime. Of course, the choice is yours.

Thank you for replying back but they were the ones flaming and trolling me jsut because i told them i spend 15 hours on a pc playing world of warcraft and once this came up i would prob be coming here to play 15-18 hours a day.

I think ima stop telling people about my self because people judge to much.They all had no issue with me intill i talked about my self and how i live it.

So how long is this ban on the irc ?
