Is there anyone there? I want to see if my chat clinet works.

It's www.mibbit.com. It can connect to freenode.		2009-03-27 05:55:00

mIRC is good as anything, a very basic IRC client and free of charge. You can get it Here (http://www.mirc.com/).

Once you've installed it its just a matter of opening it up and connecting. If you have the software, an easy way to connect with a single click is to simply click this link below:
irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/lbpcentral

Once you are in, the rest should be fairly easy. At first the setup may seem somewhat complicated, but its fairly easy to use.		2009-03-27 07:08:00

Why don't you just put an IRC chatbox on the site. I've seen it done before... (http://www.ps3trophies.com/forums/misc.php?do=cchatbox)2009-03-27 08:06:00

ArmedReaper, I think the point of this IRC was to have our shenanigans set aside from the main forum.2009-03-27 09:45:00

I quickly looked on google and that's actually the first one I tried just before I posted here asking.
I downloaded it and it said it was free for 30days then you had to pay for it ?????
That's why I asked as I didn't really know anything about these programmes 		2009-03-27 13:33:00

I got a firefox plugin, ChatZilla. Seems to work well enough. I didn't feel like installing a full IRC client for something I might not use more than twice a month, if even that. 2009-03-27 14:22:00

Thanks man,
I use firefox so this looks like a good choice for me.
I'll have a look at it in a mo (if the missus and kid get off the pc lol)

i know what you mean. It's a nice idea but it's still kind of inconveinent. I thought it was going to be something embedded in the site or something. I guess we just have to accept we arn't ever going to get anything like the original back2009-03-27 17:25:00

That also was my first thought. I downloaded it just after i read this post. Seems totally sufficient
Unfortunately no one is there. 		2009-03-27 18:59:00

Every time I go on there it has dawesbr and morrinn's names in the top left and I log in as dorien and then dawesbr's name goes like a shady colour but Morrinn's stays the same. All three of our names have a green circle next to them.
I write stuff and it comes up on the page but there is no other messages from anyone.
Does this mean they have just left themselves logged in and dawesbr is 'away' or something.
As I've never used this before I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong or they have just themselves logged in and no one else is there.		2009-03-27 21:44:00

I am in the channel right now, getting a few things set up. I'm chatting with Astrosimi at the same time, so I can confirm the channel works just fine.		2009-03-27 22:27:00

I doubt there is any PS3 IRC applet available.
I'm constantly in the IRC channel, which works just fine, but I'm usually doing other stuff too, so I miss most of the messages.		2009-03-28 02:33:00

Internet Relay Chat - basically a chat box.

Click here -> http://mibbit.com/chat/

Then in the first box, set IRC: to "Freenode", set your username, tpye in #lbpcentral into the channel box, then press go.		2009-03-28 14:51:00

Um - hasn't anyone heard of facebook? It'd be easy enough to start an LBPC secret group - or if you wanted to advertise the site an open one with links to here...

Problem solved, imo.		2009-03-30 13:53:00

Sorry to bring back such an old thread. Choosing between redundant threads or thread necromancy, I tried to pick the lesser evil. I'm guessing the channel is dead by now? Was there just not much interest? Not enough overlap between forum lurkers and irc idlers? The channel is still registered, according to freenode. It says it was registered March 27 and last used March 31. Three days was all it lasted?

Personally, I like IRC and think it would be easier to make "pick up games" with live chat rather than forum posts.		2009-07-04 04:28:00

This was the exact reasoning the staff had as well when it came to either an IRC or a thread dedicated to randomness. All in all, I thought the IRC was great while it lasted and would very much like to see users give it another go if the interest is still there... somewhere.		2009-07-08 13:11:00

Indeed, something of the sort would be good :kz:

... I've been maintaining my spam quantity with a seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecwet chat room that I can't say more about cause there's a 20 person limit :kz: ... but, um, yeah.

I also know of some chat rooms you don't have to download and are instead on that site's server so no download required... So that would improve that problem...

But yeah. Um... yeah <_> I COULD do it, but, uh... /cough		2009-07-08 13:33:00

Yeah, it deletes itself if people don't visit for a certain amount of time. Since that has happened, I'm going to lock the thread. Feel free to make a new one about getting an unofficial chat set up, through mibbit or any other medium.2009-07-09 06:53:00
