pritch Posted July 20, 2002 I've registered a channel, #dw, on IRC. This is a place where you can talk about Doomworld, the forums or anything. The idea is to keep annoying forum business like bannings out of #zdoom etc. You can express what opinions you like, argue, fight, brawl, I don't care, just please don't act like a feckless moron and spam the channel or gay the channel up when I'm not there. I'll add ops (though I don't want it strongly moderated) if it takes off, I know that it may well not, but I don't care. I'm interested in feedback about Doomy things and DW. 0 Share this post Link to post

Kid Airbag Posted July 20, 2002 Pritch, if you registered the channel, why don't you have ops? 0 Share this post Link to post

There's no point in opping myself if there are other ops in there or if it's not needed and it's not taken off yet anyway. I gave you and Liam access level 10 btw, so you should be able to op yourselves in an emergency. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jon Posted July 22, 2002 Good luck. There's been loads[1] of attempts to create a public doom channel to chat in that pretty much failed, from the official doomworld channel to the doom spin-offs etc. Still best of luck. [1] I would say 'tens' as in 'thousands', 'hundreds', etc. but it just doesn't sound as good. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted July 22, 2002 Well, it is a channel to bitch about the forums ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

nxn Posted July 23, 2002 #dw seems to be doing ok, I've seen it get busier than #zdoom before. It's a cool place, I'm in there as much as in any other room (which is most of the day =\ ) 0 Share this post Link to post

Naked Snake Posted July 23, 2002 Disorder said:I would, if I knew how mIRC worked. I have it installed, please help, SOS.. open mIRC, set up things like your nick name, e-mail, real name and alternate nickname, then type /server irc.openprojects.net then /join #zdoom then /join #dw. Then you want to register your nickname, type /msg nickserv register *password goes here*. When you sign on the server you have to "identify" (after you have registered your nickname) you type /msg nickserv identify *password*. If you get disconnected and your old nickname is still connected you type /msg nickserv ghost *nick* *password*. If somebody steals your nick you type /msg chanserv recover *nick* *password* then /msg nickserv release *nick* *password*. Ops (Operators) are the controllers of the channel, they can kick you (you can rejoin the channel, consider a kick a warning). They can ban you, which means you cannot join until they unban you, they can set +q on you which means you cannot talk. They can also set various channel modes. The most important are +m which means nobody can talk except for ops and people with +v (voice). +c means that you cannot use colours. 0 Share this post Link to post

Naked Snake Posted July 23, 2002 Better than AOL chats, because troublemakers can be taken out. You really should try it. 0 Share this post Link to post
