IRC (again) on #deadmen
Heya people! just thought I'd encourage you to get in to the deadmen IRC channel (found at #deadmen)
The applications used are low overhead.
The bandwidth usage is very low.
Currently there are maybe 10 regulars but would be nice to have more.
You do not need to feel obliged to chat all the time in IRC - in a way that's not the point but it's a useful way of contacting others in the community.
I believe that IRC is a requirement for Enemy Down anyway but don't feel that you wont load up IRC just because you don't play in ED.
Please join!
You can get IRC clients from here:
xchat (http://xchat.org/)
Or you can install mIRC (http://www.mirc.com/) and cheer it up by also installing no name script (http://nnscript.esnation.com/) (themes and fonts etc)
Umm (embarrassed) :doh:
If an admin sees this I meant to put this in a more public location (unless of course IRC is just for Charlies?
If its ok can it be moved to Bravo or somewhere suitable?
Cheers! :D
It's used for everyone and is also available for non-dMw'ers.
It was used for ED-matches and such aswell to get in contact with other Matcharangers. :flirty:
So a publicplace would be best.
It's useful to get any messages across to other members, besides I guess not everyone will have Steam. Lets try and push for a few more regulars. :D
Thread moved
:withstupid:
And while steam/msn would work but then you would need everybodys addresses, with irc we can all be in same channel.
And if you feel like playing or asking any help, its easy to share information there and also have just a nice little chat.
Could we maybe consider having an advert in the game servers for our irc channel? It would at least bring the idea more into the spotlight, I think many people seem to miss these posts.
Also a old member has returned too irc.....Red_Thunder....:D
Thats right, they found me stumbling around the dark passages of IRC cold, naked and seeking shelter!
Ill have to reinstall COD4 me thinks + im enjoying a touch of CSS!
Irc cudly and nice :D
currently idle ' in to, have got access to a cheat scanner too. if u suspect any1 of unfair play :)

And you are in, first you need to get +v to be able to speak, but that should be done pretty fast.
It doesn't get any more easier than that, not even java needed. I know you are surffing in the net while working so might as well join our nice channel :)

Hope to see you again soon then :norty:
I used to be in there all the time, i was the last owner of the channel but then i forgot my password & i think it was linked to an old email addy, since then i've not really bothered with it all.
btw, it won't let me speak in the chan unless I'm voiced it would seem.

You are getting the voice once you join, so wait about 3sec :)
Suppose I should install my irc client again (reinstalled Windows a few weeks back). :blink:

Jaaaaaaaabbbbssssss we better see you today at irc :taz:
My mIRC install seems to have gone a little crazy so once I find a new free client i'll be back on there a bit more regularly - any suggestions as to which to use?
well i just use mIRC with some script plugins.. my eval period is over long time ago, but you can still use it, just takes 5 secs or so before the program loads
I need a another F1 fan to IRC so we can get a good debate going on, as it is Live now :D
/me waves :byebye:

Gandalf in his infinite wisdom has allowed us to use THIS! dMw CHAT (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/cmps_index.php?cc=irc)
It can be found on the left side under "Community Info" and also on front page in the IRC box on right side.
Now I know loads you reads the forums many times a day, so while doing that pop in and say a simple hello. See you on the flip side :byebye:

Any other way to get on? the site is blocked by my work firewall
Just an idea. How about joining TS instead and using the chat facilities? It does the same thing and also focuses people on one server rather than being split across two? It also means you show up on the home page widget so people know you are online. We could set up a 'IRC - text chat only' channel if needed?

I use IRC as I'm in more than 1 channel and have been using it for as long as I have been using the internet so thats not going to change to use TS text chat.
I join TS when I'm playing a game so that people know I am playing a game, and I enjoy being able to use it to communicate during games. And there is always steam friends list if anyone wants to see who is online to ask to play games.
The only problem I can see is that from having the IRC channel its users don't frequent the forums as much as they would without it.
I will use IRC, regardless, so I favour status quo. Not just because of that, but with the technical fun incorporated, such as random quotes from users, google search, funny topics, stupid user names etc. I like it there.
Also, there is currently no moderation and the language is completely free, which so far works and is awesome. I sure hope dMw IRC stays. IMO as with the games discussion so many times - it makes sense moving to TS, but it will kill a very funny element, which is very dMw. It is a bit like dMw in the fun old days, at least as far back as I know. It is rough on the edges, way to dirty for the public and like a dirty little secret in dMw. If you move, you'd kill it, and after a while, no one would idle on TS and we will loose that as well...
I know, bumping an old post but I was just checking out our old mIRC channel and there's still some people on there:
-Dannage;
-Lexander;
-Peanuts
And some I don't know: Ham and Pesteh...
The guys I know have all been slapped with a large trout.
ofc we are, its the best place for.. serious talks!
