WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Most communities usually have an IRC, or at least some other chat client. Anyone else think this would be a good idea for this forum? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstUsernameEver Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'm a sad panda. I though it was an announcement for a chat/interview with Obsidian's team, or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 I don't really know how to set up an IRC. I think I'd need a server? Or can I just set up an Obs channel on some basic IRC server? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad!

Just start a channel on some popular server. Such as quakenet or stratics. And then try to get a bot there Hate the living, love the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) I guess we can start with this, just choose a nickname and type "/join #Obsidian". If enough people join or like the idea I can get something better or more appropriate. http://chat.stratics.com/sponsoredchat.html Edited June 2, 2010 by WILL THE ALMIGHTY "Alright, I've been thinking.

Amentep Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 heh, anyone else remember Black Isle's IRC channel? I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

Jaesun Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 heh, anyone else remember Black Isle's IRC channel? yup. I got banned and that's how we created #Mistresslair. You should actually create the #Obsidian on the GameSurge network (irc.gamesurge.net). That network is already in the list of servers with mIRC.

Humodour Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I tried this with Tigranes, Pidesco, Pop, Deraldin, some others a while back on quakenet. It died. What we really need is some official endorsement from Obsid, like a link at the top of this forum's template. At least a sticky thread in WoT or something. WILL: Are the you admin for that channel? Have you reserved that channel with a bot? You should elect at least one other admin and a mod or two in case you die or go on holidays or whatnot.

I know nothing about hosting an irc channel and no I don't think I'm an admin or have a bot. Really, I was mostly hoping for Obs to make a dedicated chat. "Alright, I've been thinking.

At least a sticky thread in WoT or something. I can ask for this to be done, there's a decent chance. Please do so. Atm there's 4 peops in stratics with some others that pop in. We'll stick in stratics for now and just move everyone over to Quakenet (ideal IMHO) or wherever the permanent destination is if we get one (I say this because Will doesn't seem to have control of ChanServ).

Nepenthe Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Wake me up when you hit quakenet, I need another server in Colloquy like... well, something I need very little of. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
