New IRC chat at the bottom

Due to popular demand, I have embedded LightIRC to the bottom instead of Everywhere chat.  It's a bit more complicated, and requires some additional /commands if you want to keep your name.

(/msg nickserv REGISTER password email) to register the name you are currently using. It will send you a confirmation email and a code to type.

For MIRC

type:
/server irc.lightirc.com
/join #EquestriaDaily

This is a lot more open than the old chat, and allows you guys to use seperate IRC clients.
The channels are:

/join #EquestriaDaily (PG Chat)
/join #EquestriaAfterDark (Adult Chat - no rules aside from no spamming)
/join #EquestriaDailyRP (Roleplaying)

Go test it out!

Which IRC server are these channels on?

ZekeSulastin said...

1) The RP room is #PonyRP - sorry :<
2) Join #EquestrianStudy for fanwork production and critique
3) The server is irc.lightirc.com

I put in a username, and this came up: "You need to install a flash policy daemon at irc.lightirc.com (port 843)."

Someone please tell me what the hell that means.

Just for a general note, if you are using mIRC or another IRC client:

type:
/server irc.lightirc.com
/join #EquestriaDaily

I had issues getting the server to connect the first time, but now it seems to work fine.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

I HAVE A MACBOOK. SHIT JUST WORKS ON THAT THING.

WHAT IS IRC IS IT LIKE PIE?

Odymex said...

Also, for those who don't know, in order to log in after registering a nick, use:

/msg nickserv identify

Odymex said...

/msg nickserv identify (password)

Not sure why that didn't show up the first time.

HeatWave said...

I think I may have screwed up my password... is there a way to get that reset?

Sorry, I already have my preferred pony IRC. I have friends there, and I'm too lazy to learn a bunch of new people.

Basharoonskis said...

This IRC thing is kinda confusing, I preferred the old chat, although I guess my reasoning is invalid seeing as how I generally don't frequent the chat. Also it's not nearly as colorful and awesome as it used to be.

Now that my bitching is out of the way, awesome job trying to expand the site Seth.

I can't say I like this new chat window. No matter what I try I can't get it to work. I visited the chat quite fequently.

Wierdplatformer said...

Whoops spoke too soon; still don't like it though.

G.G. Gala said...

Oh, so that's why I was pleasantly surprised when I tried out the flash chat again tonight and went, "hey, this wasn't an IRC server before!" Awesome, now I can actually use an IRC client like with the #BronyState / brony movie night chatroom instead of potentially slowing shit down by running a flooded Flash-based client.

Just a note, though: irc.lightirc.com is just a redirect to irc.geekshed.net right now. Can't we just use that directly instead to avoid confusion if that changes? It's the same server where #Brony lives after all.

Kujiiro said...

Oh... well damn.

Gypsy said...

wtf...god only knows whats gunna happen if i get back on when my laptop gets fixed

B-Man said...

Gypsy said...

AHEM FIDDLER & FOOBY !!!! IM SORRY!!!

ZekeSulastin said...

@ZekeSulastin

Actually I'm a derp, go to #EquestriaDailyRP by virtue of mods being there!

BronyMike said...

Augh, this new thing sucks. I don't wanna have to reregister and it was way better with the dark background, not to mention that it was immensely easier to keep track of conversations when people could customize colours and whatnot.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!

The old one was freezing up my computer somehow. This is much better.

Flaskgarg said...

@Gypsy

Gypsy said...

Gypsy said...

@Flaskgarg oh and lul i saw your submission with the kernal humanoid pony ahaha

B-Man said...

@BronyMike

With a good IRC client, color customization shouldn't be too big an issue.

DJ Midli said...

It's on the same server as the #brony irc is (geekshead) ..SOOO AWESOME!

Anonymous said...

@G.G. Gala

Doesn't make a difference at all which one is used, you end up on the same server anyhoof :)
