Woohoo! We have an IRC Chat room now.
irc.rizon.net #themoon
irc://irc.rizon.net/themoon
If you don't already have or want to download an IRC Client, you can click the Chat button in the menu, enter a name, and you will be connected.
What is IRC?
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, which is just a fancy way of saying... chatroom. You can download IRC clients or just use browser-based chat sites. We use a Mibbit (a browser-based client) widget on the site, which is good for the users who just want to drop in and say hello. But if you decide you want an upgrade, you can download mIRC, Chatzilla, or a multitude of other IRC Clients.
Use Mibbit
To join the room using Mibbit, type the following in the appropriate fields:
Nick: Your SPOTM Username (or anything you like, really)
Channel: #themoon
Select "Rizon [webirc]" in the drop down menu above that
Then click the Go button beside Channel.
Use webchat
To join the room using webchat, type the following in the appropriate fields:
Nickname: Your SPOTM Username (or anything you want)
Click "Connect"
Download mIRC
To join the room using mIRC, open the program, click Continue/OK a couple thousand times (I don't recall what all it makes you do when you first start it, but you DO NOT have to register), and type the following:
/server irc.rizon.net
(wait a few seconds)
/join #themoon
There's also an add-on for all you Firefox & Flock users:
Download ChatZilla
To join the room using ChatZilla, go to Tools > ChatZilla. When it opens, type:
/attach irc.rizon.net
(wait a few seconds)
/join #themoon
I know it seems complicated, but I promise it's worth it! Live chat ftw amirite?
If anyone needs help with anything IRC-related, just post here (I'm sure other people will know a thing or two about IRC as well) or ask me when you manage to make it into the room.
If you join and no one is talking, just say "Bree" or anyone else's name, and that should get someone's attention! Have fun.
