Off topic? Try #offtopic

[Russ]

x10 has recently started running a chat server, it's primary use is for support, however, we've also started an off topic chat. If you know anything about irc, and already have an irc client, we welcome you to connect to us, our server address is cristall.x10hosting.com Once connected, type /part #x10, and then type /join #offtopic

If you do not know anything about irc, and wish to chat, we also offer a web-based chat client which loads in your browser at http://rpope904.x10hosting.com/offtopic Once you go to that site, you'll be connected to our server, and you'll enter the off topic chat. Please, hang out, and enjoy your stay. Same rules apply here, as the forums. Watch the language.


Also, if you plan on staying a while, we suggest that you download a chat client, there is a free one at www.icechat.net Once you download it, follow the instructions in the first paragraph of this post, as far as the server, and how to join the channel where off topic chat is suppose to be.


We're also going to allow you to create your own room, and give you the web scripts needed to allow your visitors to connect and use it. If you wish to create your own chat room, download the zip file located at http://rpope904.x10hosting.com/x10chat.zip, open and edit the index.php file and change the following:

<applet code=IRCApplet.class archive="irc.jar,pixx.jar" width=640 height=400>
<param name="CABINETS" value="irc.cab,securedirc.cab,pixx.cab">
<param name="nick" value="GUEST">
<param name="name" value="x10Hosting rocks!">
<param name="host" value="cristall.x10hosting.com">
<param name="gui" value="pixx">
<param name="command1" value="/part #x10">
<param name="command2" value="/join #offtopic">
</applet>
Change this to what you want your chat room to be called. It must be one word, i.e. #JoesChat

You can either unzip this into a folder under your public_html folder, or anything you want. You can also put the above code in any web page, as long as the other files inside of the zip file are in the SAME directory.

Once you connect for the first time from your site, and you join your room you MUST do this to keep the room:

1) Register your nickname by typing /msg NickServ register <password>
2) Register your channel by typing /msg ChanServ register #CHANNEL <password> <description>

This makes the server hold it for you, and only you. All IRC related questions should be asked in #irchelp, get there by typing /join #irchelp in your chat window/program.

DO NOT POST IRC/CHAT RELATED QUESTIONS ON X10'S FORUMS. Ask for help on there, or google for an answer. We will not help with irc problems.

Nice I will be on later.

[Livewire]

Huh.

This might be another reason to keep my copy of mIRC installed and actually get some use out of it



Might be on later, dunno. Is it one of those chats where idling gets you banned though, cause knowing me I'd forget to log out before sleeping >_<
