We have a few people who use the IRC channel pretty often now. It has been suggested that we use the channel to watch things such as debates, speeches, and other political events all at the same time together.

I created an IRC Events group for that purpose. I figured that would happen faster than getting the mods to create a separate board for it, especially since only a small percentage of the forum members use IRC at the moment.

So I figured we could have a member group dedicated to it. Got any questions regarding IRC? Have an event you'd like to announce to get other IRCers to watch with you? Just post in the group!

Cool idea, especially going into a presidential election. Do we have to join the group? Or just post the event there?

I'm honestly not sure. If I've got the permissions set right anybody can join.

Please try to make a post in there and we'll find out. :)

OK. Doing that but it sits there as if it not working. This is the right link? Mibbit.com Webchat client That is it right? How long should it take? I just tried to shut it down as it seemed as if not working but it pulled up a popup box that said something about are you sure you want to navigate from this or something like that. Thanks for the help:)
 
I just tried it Kali. Enter Kali in the nick box, and # dp in the channel box, and then click the connect button next to the channel box.

The navigate away from this page popup is normal on mine, make sure you have the "mibbit[webirc]option in th drop down menu connect option. the chat page should load into a tab within that same page.

What browser do you use? Have an adblocker or antivirus?
 
Sometimes when I log in it goes to a blank page and I have to clear out the location bar and enter "https://mibbit.com" to "refresh". I think Sam and a few others use Chatzilla instead of Mibbit, so maybe they can provide some insight. All Mibbit is, is a client that allows access to IRC. There are plenty of other clients we can get you using if Mibbit doesn't want to cooperate with you, Kali. We'll get it figured out. :)
