Browser-Based Game Zone just got its own IRC channel

The server is GameSurge, you can get a list of their servers here:
http://www.gamesurge.net/servers/

The channel is #bbgamezone and there's no password.

I look forward to seeing you all there!

If you use Firefox and you don't have an IRC client, I recommend downloading the add-on called ChatZilla. Or else, you could use the chat page from GameSurge: http://www.gamesurge.net/chat/

PS. I'm new with running my own channel on IRC, so if somebody has some more experience running a channel, you might want to PM me

Or just type
http://www.gamesurge.net/chat/bbgamezone

I'm glad it's on gamesurge

I looked at quakenet, netgamers, and a few other servers but it was easiest to create a channel on gamesurge with a bot

beam · « **Reply #4 on:** September 24, 2007, 04:08:19 PM »

gamesurge also has the most annoying services ever

man authserv is retarded

Indeed, they have very unstandard stuff. Like no HOp or other... But they have great support, and is well moderated.

Just out of curiosity, does it cost anything to set an IRC channel up?

Zeggy · « **Reply #7 on:** October 12, 2007, 03:51:07 AM »

No, it's free. I think.
I didn't pay ^^

Equinox · « **Reply #8 on:** October 12, 2007, 10:56:31 AM »

Excellent, may look into that then

Sakurazaki · « **Reply #9 on:** October 17, 2007, 09:09:19 PM »

Might pop in if I have the time.

Zeggy · « **Reply #10 on:** December 09, 2007, 02:30:31 PM »

Just to let everybody know, we have 4 users in the chat room right now...
For me, that is a record

Why not join in? It's a lot more fun!

I'm hanging around in there looking for people to do a little debugging for a new game. If you have a few minutes drop in and I'll send you the link to play it.

If you want to see who was online recently type "!users". To be added to the list register/authenticate and ask Zeggy.

Taking a look into this

welard · « **Reply #14 on:** February 17, 2008, 12:45:09 PM »

there is no 1 on irc

Zeggy · « **Reply #15 on:** February 17, 2008, 02:35:08 PM »

Unfortunately, not that many people are on it anymore

And I keep forgetting to open IRC myself

I'll try to be more active on it

Doidel · « **Reply #16 on:** April 25, 2009, 08:38:46 AM »

I'm online for the next hour. Feel free to join

cheers

Doidel · « **Reply #17 on:** July 17, 2009, 02:39:13 PM »

Someone care to have a little chat on http://www.gamesurge.net/chat/bbgamezone?

Looking forward to reading you

Qwerty · « **Reply #18 on:** July 17, 2009, 02:56:37 PM »

Yeah... how do I connect to the channel from ChatZilla? Kinda new to IRC...

Doidel · « **Reply #19 on:** July 17, 2009, 02:57:27 PM »

Hmm don't know ChatZilla ^^
I'd just type in http://www.gamesurge.net/chat/bbgamezone and then you're there

Serend · « **Reply #20 on:** July 27, 2009, 03:31:10 PM »

As many active members the forum has - more should join IRC.

Maybe have a forum link to the java chat page? Or a main link with subs with options.

jannesiera · « **Reply #21 on:** July 27, 2009, 04:20:25 PM »

Some more advertising for a chat could be usefull...

I'd love one on this site. Then you could also add to someones profile if they are on the chat. (like online)

If you don't want to go trough the trouble of putting one on the site, then atleast put a HUGE linkbutton on the forum page to teh IRC channel...

MystressNyx · « **Reply #22 on:** July 27, 2009, 04:30:36 PM »

We did not take over the chat room with the forum. So, having zero control over it, we can't really advocate its use.

OBY · « **Reply #23 on:** July 27, 2009, 06:12:03 PM »

I saw a forum that had a built in chat. Does this forum software have a mod of the sorts?

It's an IRC channel, so they have to go through the IRC server's ChanServ bot or the administration for the server itself to get the operator status of the channel. Otherwise, a password is usually required to identify yourself with ChanServ.
