Want to chat with each other?

IRC is the answwer!

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 by ZubaZ | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Stardock has, for years, has maintained an IRC server.  IRC is the granddaddy of modern chat systems.  It's old . . but it works and we use it.  You can too.

There are many IRC clients out there. 

The easiest might be mibbit.com because it has a web-based client (http://cbe002.chat.mibbit.com/).  You could use mIRC or Pidgin or Trillian or any number of others too.  Heck, even my HP Touchpad running WebOS has a client ()

Once you pick your IRC client it's time to join the fun! Here's what you'll do:

  1. Find where the client asks for the server and enter the following
    /server irc.stardock.com
  2. Once connected to the server (when all the text stops scrolling), you join the WinCustomize chat room by typing this:
    /join #WinCustomize

There's an older (but still accurate) article on the WinCustomize wiki about usign IRC.  You can read it here: http://wiki.wincustomize.com/wiki/MIRC:_Chatting_on_Stardock_IRC

 

See you around!
