IRC CHANNEL - #tetrisconcept

#tetrisconcept on irc.quakenet.org is the new IRC chat room for this forum, Blockbox, and for the Blokkendoos League. Come join us.

 

Yeah, come join us and help the place grow. Anyone remotely interested in Tetris is welcome!

 

I'll be on as soon as I'm back at school (later today) and have access to my tower again.

By the way, does this mean #arika is disbanded?

~EI

 

Nope, #arika is still there. This is just a more public and general tetris place to hang out at. See you on there.

 

Maybe I'll try to be around there more often, might have some of those "not-worthy-for-a-topic" questions that need answering...

 

Haha, you'll make a great fit. No need for questions to hang around.

 

how does it work?

i get to a basically blank screen where I can see tc posters on the right side, but there is no place for me to enter messages?

i can see you guys post.. what am i missing?

 

What client are you using?

 

my web browser

 

Ah, I have no clue about those. Why not a dedicated client?

 

grabbing one now thanks.

 

If you're using Mozilla Firefox, there's an add-on available called "ChatZilla" that works as an IRC client. You can log a channel's activity with a checkbox in the preferences menu.

There's also IceChat which is a standalone client, and is fairly customizable. Logging is enabled by default.

These are the best non-browser-based IRC clients I've come across.

 

i found one called calloquy for OS X. it works but i cannot say how good as it's the only thing i tried

 

Try Snak for OS X, it's the one Im using (altough calloquy is quite ok)

 

If you're on Windows, use XChat, please.

It's so much better than mIRC, browser-based clients, and IM-based clients.

XChat or irssi is good for Linux.

I didn't like any OS X clients I tried, plus I hate Apple, so I don't really have any recommendations for that.
