Ok it was intentionally misleading, inappropriate, and not under my authority to do such things.

However,

With so much serial posting going on... anyone else think its a good idea?

It already exists.

I'm just waiting for Charles to add a Java/DotNetlet/ASP.NET IRC client to Channel9.

Grab an IRC client and head on in there and see for yourself.

You mean I have to install something? I'm too lazy for that. How about a nice java client. Course then they would have to run a proxy at the webserver.

Alright alright... is anyone in there?

Mostly bots atm. One or two carbon-based lifeforms enter once or twice a day, usually by following /whois's though.

They left after the last thread about this drifted off into obscurity.

I missed that thread.

I've added the IRC channel to the wiki... perhaps we can encourage the IRC popularity by telling people to "take it to the IRC channel" whenever a thread starts getting out of hand Smiley

So we should have "take it to the IRC channel" as every 3rd post in a thread, and probably as our signature?

But the thing is right... IRC isn't a very "Microsofitsh" thing to go and do. Naturally, it would be a propriety and closed protocol using only allowed clients and called: "Microsoft Interpersonal Communications Server"

Ok folks go here:
http://www.pjirc.com/chat/NormalApplet.php?nick=typeyournickhere

Type click yes.

Click disconnect (it goes to the wrong server)

Type /server irc.efnet.org

then /channel channel9

... good luck. Smiley

REMEMBER: You may need to disable that third pary ANTI-VIRUS firewall. (SP2 correctly asks you to give IE access to access the internet if you use the SP2 firewall)

Thats why I hate IRC. I'd guess your ISP is banned from EFNET...

Try killing your firewall?

SP2 firewall isn't running.... (hasn't been since installation )
Zonealarm running... (won't kill)
Can connect to all other servers....

Damn, I really forgot about that one..... Big Smile

That was fun back then. Don't know if I'd still like it though....
But definitely was fun...

If highly original.

Its a shame that a lot of IRC networks have banned the ComicChat client (because of the metadata it adds at the beginning of each message)

What is your answer?

Do I need to have Java installed for this to work? What do I need installed for this to work? If it is to much I won't join... As for the idea of a permenant IRC Channel9 Channel Smiley

It sounds pretty good...

I'd stick around on it. But installing Java which ads use? I don't know....

*shrug* Yeah it needs java. I suppose you could pick one of the badillion clients out there.

Look if you want to be picky you should know enough to roll your own. Otherwise click yes and prepare to have your HDD formatted.
