Got on IRC in 1996. Spent about 3-4 years deep into it and was addicted. Met a couple women from there who became friends. We would all hang out at the mall near by. Sometimes going into funfactory and doing the A/S/L thing actually worked. Good times.
In the late 90s/early naughties I was mostly into gaming. Made lots of real life friends that way. Some visited me from other countries. Learnt English, too, which led me to become a professional translator. When I wanted to move to the Netherlands, over a decade later, one of them found me a place to stay. Still there to this day. Thanks, Laurens 🙂
Years ago I used to play a game named Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, community of players used to use IRC for finding a game opponent. There were channels 5vs5, 3vs3 and so on. It was great!
I rarely subscribe to any channel, I've never - ever subscribed before Ive seen every video from the past month. This tiem all I needed was "walcome to DASGEEK" You're epic dude. You're epic.
Hey @DASGeek . Great video! I used to IRC a lot, a very long time ago. Maybe I'll join freenode and or OFTC. Are you using IRC anymore? What app do you use on Linux, same one?
Thanks for the info! I'm going to have to hunt down a channel list. Just to clarify, should I register my name on each server I'm using? I feel the answer is probably yes. :) also, do you know any good resources when it comes to using IRC to download/trade books? there's a lot of triggers and commands to remember. I have been on the hunt for a list of some sort I can reference.
You're welcome! There are a couple of sites out there that list the various channels for you and can make it easier to find those of interest. Each network will require you ti register your name but not the individual channels. www.irchelp.org/networks/popular.html
There's OP and then there's OP. There's ChanOP basically a boss of a chat channel. Then there's IRCOP who is a boss on the specific network. ChanOP, depending on level given by the channel owner/creator, has control over the operation of the specific channel (can make channel ops, kick, ban, voice). The IRCOP has been given their powers by the Admin/owner of the network allowing them to kick, ban, add privileges or take them away for the whole network
MI6 Agent 1) Is there a way to checksum this HexChat download... cause I don't know these people. 2) If not, is there a way to create an IRC... Or is it common for people to develop their own client? 3) Can IRC be used "offline" or P2P... outside of an ISP?
Hey das can u please tell me your channels and servers that u joined in IRC chat i really wanna join different channels i am a newbie and ur help would be really appreciated.❤
Any more advanced options, like video or I saw one with an embedded mp3 player. Voice chat integration would be sweet or is all that just too complicated for this specific chat system?
As far as I know IRC is just for text chat. There are some clients that seem to have options that may allow you to integrate other services that use video or voice chat. Good question.
freenode is not working when I click connect for the server it says do you know if I am doing something wrong because I fallowed your steps in your video but it seems to not work for me I will mention I am new to all of this and I am a first timer today and I thought I would fiddle with this but there's not a lot to explore if I can't connect to a server
Very nice and easy tutorial, thanks pal. How about the register of username and password/emal. Will I have to register for each time? Or is it saved for ever/longtime and I only need to remember password and my email? Thanks in advance!
I have used mirc for many years. I really want to switch to Linux. This could be a deal breaker for me? I need a linux irc client that handles multi-server connections like mirc.So I can chat or download on different servers and channels at the same time. I see you joined multiple channels. What about servers. I associated hexchat with firefox on ixirc search webpage. but when I try a link from ixirc it opens hexchat again instaed of asking me to open another connection like in mirc.Any suggestions would be appreciated!!Thanks!Tayte

+cptnoremac channels are divided by network, and are relayed (hence Relay Chat) between servers on one network. A server can't relay chats on a different network
Let me word it like this, If I join a channel called #chickenlittle on the freenode server and you enter the same channel on the quakenet server. We will not meet. (There are no limitations to what channels you can join, hell join #eowdiewdiee and wait for someone to join.)

It's like Discord but a lot less centralized. More private and used for a lot more technical discussion and support than Discord. Discord obviously has a lot more features and a prettier GUI.

I feel like discord is heavily influenced by IRC.
Yes they copied it
why do most IRC servers ban you for using a tor exit node? fucking sucks because I've been trying to find new channels to hang out in.
You can connect to Discord using an IRC client afaik.
@@lkjhb1 discord really is not that similar but it is for people talking to eachother over the internet so i guess every chat service copied irc
same shit, different pile.
I had no idea IRC was still around. For us 90s kids, that and AOL was the facebook/twitter of our generation.
and bulletin boards and usenet.
PS... gopher is due a resurgence :-)
@Doc D-Monik Dude it's more like Raid Call/Discord of older generation 😀
I used to download mp3 on IRC in the late 90s.. I even ran a server on there. I have nice memories of that community.
I remember doing this!
how you downloaded mp3 from irc?

You're epic dude. You're epic.
It's been years since I've used irc...like 10+ years
It is just for geeks and STEM students now, most people have moved to social media
For those wondering the actual tutorial begins at 2:36...
I remember that Hurricane here in Florida at 7:10 ...It turned out to be not bad at ALL.
It is not how much you know, but how you utilize your knowledge. Great video
think you need one for newbies who have no idea about clients ?
Thanks for an awesome explanation !
This is a good video, you convinced me to try it.
Hey @DASGeek . Great video!
I used to IRC a lot, a very long time ago. Maybe I'll join freenode and or OFTC.

i thought op on irc context meant operator
doesn't it?
I always say operator because it stuck after some BBS years.

Sassie Et Limechat is my favorite for OS X.
Nice overview!
I can't stand the typical mainstream Social media!!
I use a matrix client that also it bridged to freenode irc
