Job Posted October 4, 2003 I remember back in the day when Doomworld hosted a Doom chat directly on the website. That was fantastic. But now a person has to go to the irc rooms, namely #zdoom that I recall, to do this. And one can't forget that the allowance of those rooms is subject to another person's whims. I'm sure there's a fairly reasonable explanation for the discontinuation of the chat room but, still, it'd be nice to have it back. 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted October 4, 2003 You mean the web applet that automatically accessed a chosen IRC channel. I think it was removed either because the applet sucked, or the channels sucked. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sephiroth Posted October 4, 2003 i never recall many people useing it. infact i checked it out once and there where no active people in it. so i take it the room sucked or the applet, most web based do suck, just use the IRC. however i think they should have a link on here or info listing the server and channle 0 Share this post Link to post
mewse Posted October 4, 2003 ling thought that abusing chat newbies didn't reflect nicely on dw as a whole edit: also, the channel was a separate entity from doomworld but mostly everyone outside the channel assumed the channel was official doomworld territory which got annoying a few times 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted October 5, 2003 The IRC channel mentioned on the Contact Info page is the right room, but wrong network. #zdoom is on irc.oftc.net, not irc.freenode.net. Even though it is owned and run by myself, it is in no way an official Doomworld IRC channel. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted October 5, 2003 WTH...I know there used to be a link that you could click on that would bring #doom up in jIRC. I used to use that to get on IRC before I really knew a thing about IRC. :P But was there a link to #dw when it was around or something (which I think WAS an official DoomWorld channel, set up by Pritch or something). Anyway, I dont see what is wrong with #zdoom. The only problem right now is with Mantra and his constant trolling, but I think everyoine has him on ignore anyway. Heh. 0 Share this post Link to post
