Server Administrator  Posts: 475 Joined: 27 Sep 2004     | All of the ops in the channel are Escapist staff, and we're usually watching the channel during the day so feel free to say hi! Also, there's a (currently) fairly basic bot in there (Escape) that posts site news as it goes live. So it's a nice way to get a quick update as to when your video of choice may be posted rather then refreshing the website or RSS reader. I'm still trying to think of useful/fun ways to tie the irc channel (via the bot) to the Escapist website, including some potential badges. But that's still in the works pending suggestions and feasibility. |

BANNED Posts: 3535 Joined: 11 Oct 2008 | I'm actually looking for an add-on for mirc that added tons of stuff, like skins, customizable actions (like poking another person on the chat and an auto-away system) although I'm not finding it, any help would be highly appreciated.

Press Junketeer  Posts: 450 Joined: 8 Nov 2008   | There's a firefox addon for IRC too called "Chatzilla", anyone used it? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1954 Joined: 23 Jan 2008  | I'm going ahead and bumping this something fierce. The Java client is available for anyone to use very easily, but just getting mIRC is also very simple, and allows for everyone to connect to thousands of networks with millions of channels out there. I have yet to find a more pleasant channel than #escapist though, and I've been IRC'ing for six years. ^_^ Chatzilla.. works, I guess. It's a lot simpler to just get mIRC or any other simple client though. =) |

You can use irssi under Windows as well and yeah irssi is a bit weird, but awesome; |
