Here is how to run the TDC IRC Channel.
download XChat. Use google. (Do not go to xchat.com or xchat.net, they're porn sites)
Install it.
On the "Network list" that pops up, click add (on the right side) and type in TDC. Press enter.
Highlight TDC in that list, and press edit.
Click on "newserver/6667", and type in irc.gnug.org. Press enter.
Enable Autoconnect to this network on startup.
In the "Favorite Channels" box, type in #TDC.
Press Close.
Highlight TDC on the Network List.
Press Connect.OR DISREGARD ALL THAT AND GO TO THE TACHEONIC IRC CLIENT (http://tacheonic.com/irc/irc.cgi)Quote from: Tacheon saying stuff on a different topic
Here is good stuff to know.
Founder = purple name or "~". Admin = me, GF, Jack
Super-operator = red name or "&". Super-moderator = the mod squad
Operator = green name or "@". Moderator = TW and any other single-forum mods.
Half-op = blue name or "%". Neat little guy = people I like
Voice = Yellow name or "+". Can talk in restricted channels, as well as the above people = whoever.
It's really fun stuff, you guys. I'm in there now, as are Tacheon, Shika, and JQ. Check it out!
It really is.
Ah, I forgot what's going to happen in terms of ops, sops, hops, and vops.
Adding to the first post.
When I went to TDC on it, It said a whole bunch of stuff about like, administrators, and rules. Then at the bottom it says: TDC: no such channel.
Did I do something wrong?
Be sure to join "#TDC", not TDC.
What exactly is XChat? And since I'm using my dad's computer for a while, I wouldn't be able to download it now anyway...if at all.
It is an IRC chat client.
A text-based interface to an online community of various chatrooms.
Remember Gabbly? It sounds something like that, but if Tacheon is promoting it, it's probably a lot better.
Ah, all righty, then. Thanks.
Tacheon got a bunch of guys from ZU to join in on the IRC. It's really fun.
I went ahead and got it up and running.
What's IRC? (Sorry, I have very little knowledge of modern technology)

It's a program called Internet Relay Chat.
It's essentially a portal to a conglomeration of online chatrooms.
Well, nobody seems to be on it anymore. Was fun while it lasted. As is, I'm sitting in it twiddling my thumps atm.
I would join, but I'm performing HUGE diagnostics at the moment that require my full devotion-- I only visit TDC sparingly within the past few days.
Also, I'm playing WoW.
It seems like everyone's gone. It's almost as if Christmas has given people reason to leave the house, or at least not to be on their computers. Wonder if that's actually true, or if it's coincidence.
Or maybe it's WoW.
Really now, there's someone from ZU and me in there right now, but nobody actually from TDC.
If you could help me figure out how to reinstall the evaluation version without having to pay for it, I'd gladly join you guys.
Sorry, I was SURE that XChat was free. It was on Linux... ;____;
Use mIRC instead. Just as good, with the added slapping feature.
mIRC ain't free, either, it seems. Apparently I've had it for 34 days and I need to register it.
EDIT: Wait, never mind.
I don't know how to set it up, though.
I've had mIRC for about three years now. I still have yet to register mine.
THIS JUST IN
GO TO THIS SITE THAT IS TOTALLY NOT MINE AND USE THE NON-JAVA IRC CLIENT THERE
http://tacheonic.com/irc/irc.cgi
Double post much? I know it's quite important, but still...I think an edit would still update the thread so that it was as if there were a new post.
Oh, it does?
My apologies, I posted that after close to 24 hours of no sleep. I will fix it. Give me a warning if you will. Gotta set an example, after all ;D
Well, I sit in there as much as possible and see noone, just like now. Guess I'll try the ZU one when I can get on the computer again.
I'm in there now, but once again, I can't use "Twilight_Wolf" as my username.
It's very, very frustrating.
Why can't you?
Apparently, I was still logged into the chat with that name, even though I had no access to it.
type /ping Twilight_Wolf.
I'll be sure to remember that; it seems to be working all right for now.
It won't let me send messages.
I updated with a cool, shiny Java client.
http://tacheonic.com/irc
Cool, I'll have to check it out.
You should. And as I said earlier, but probably nobody checked, the IRC client has been updated to make it absolutely no trouble for you. Just go to www.tacheonic.com/irc.
Double-post.
The client has been optimized, so it no longer takes like a year to load. The link's different now, so bookmark it at:
irc.tacheonic.com
The only problem is that it's not just for TDC anyhow, but any mods/admins on TDC will have ops and sops the same as on #TDC.
Hey this explains why the other one stopped working.
Well I'm on there now.
Bookmarked.
Awesome. Glad to know it's working.
EDIT: 'nother update. I went ahead and SUPER-beefed the IRC. It looks like it's on steroids compared to what it used to be. So if you read this topic, hop on and talk.
(If you weren't in my drawings before, this might be a great incentive for me to draw you, especially if you are whining about it and YOUR NAME IS ROB)

Every time I leave, I have to change my nick to FishyRules, and my plus is gone.
Is that supposed to happen?
Oh, and I cant do bold and colors and stuff now.

...you mean whenever you exit out of the page? Well of course it's supposed to do that, it wasn't made specifically for you.
Use your brain.Seriously.
Also, I had to change back to the old client since the new one was killing the bandwidth.
Another update: The client now connects you to
two channels, #warzone, and #TDC.
update:
fiskers has joined the party.
I'm in there now. Come join us; it's dead in here...
The IRC now has a semi-permanent bot resident. Teach it to talk, or play Russian Roulette (type ~rr) and enjoy getting your brains blown out.
Well that's a bummer, it won't work on my comp.
Neither is it in mine, could I have technical assisteance?
Okay, the IRC isn't working for me any more. It's just stuck on "loading applet", or whatever, and nothing's happening.
Help?
It's all good in the hood now. The hosting company, Servage, is being occasionally DDoS'd, so sometimes it'll take forever to load. It shouldn't be like that for a week and a half or so now, though.
Also, Nabooru (our ever-learning IRC bot will be up and running whenever I can wrestle the computer away from the people I live with, so at least for a day or two-- abuse her while you can :P
Excellent! I look forward to checking it out as soon as I can. (I'm just about to go to bed, you see.)
By the way... did you delete your old post and re-post with additional content in order to bump the thread? Because I'm 100% positive you posted this before...

...maybe.
Also, it's apparently game thinking game night on the IRC. Stop on by if you'd care to try your luck against some of the greatest minds on the internet (and Mikaudes).
I'll probably be on the IRC a lot today.
