Post What about an irc channel ? 
 
Hi, I took a look at the registration procedure for a channel at the irc network. It is very complicated, but I think it could be a good idea. In the meantime I have created the channel (#posetteforever) on irc. I'm not an expert, if there are experts their help will be appreciated a lot (a kiss  on the from me is the prize)

I used to chat on Undernet (IRC) for a number of years, and had my own channel on there as well. I can't remember how to reg for a channel, I think my ex helped me figure it all out. The only reason to have it reg is to keep a bot in there so it's open all the time and others can't take control of it. So it is a good idea to have it reg. I haven't chatted much on IRC in the last couple of years so I don't know which server(net) is best...before undernet was pretty good, but there may be a lot more now and a lot of better ones. I'm interested, just let me know which net and I'll be there

From my experience, undernet is several hundred years behind in computer-time.. I idle on Gamesnet mostly nowadays, but that place is plagued with netsplitts and other mailfunctions. You'd think the servers are about to give up.
Think I'd recommend Quakenet as a server atm... although I'm no irc wiz, so I'll ask a friend of mine with a bit more clue than me

Well like I said, I haven't done much chatting on irc in awhile...I pop into a channel called #Oregon on undernet from time to time where I used to be an op there. Other than that I haven't been on in a long time. I used to use Dalnet some, and another one I can't remember the name of, but if you know someone who's using irc they may be able to give us a better idea of what net to use Deviant. I'll have enough trouble remembering all the / commands lol
Oh, Landman might have a few ideas on some of this, he used to spend a lot of time on irc which is where I met him about 7 years ago.

/me says ta ta fer now
dang, it don't work in here lol

the server is irc.webmaster.com
the channel is #posetteforever

The channel is deleted every time I go out of it, I think because is not registered, anyway, only registered members can create channels:

to register:

/ns register <password> e-mail

and you will receive a message with the instructions to register.

so when you go to irc write:

/nickserv identify <password>

I'm a rookie in irc   , so suggestion (whips) are very welcome !

I red the (hard) way to register a channel here:

http://cservice.undernet.org/

I go working now, I will read reply later, bye friends

are you using a program like mirc or pirch to log onto irc? Or is it a website your using? I prefer to use pirch or mirc when chatting on IRC
Yes if you don't reg the channel it will go away when your not in there. Once you reg it, you get a bot that will hold the channel open and you will control the bot which gives you options like being able to ban people, make others ops, and stuff like that. Normally the bot's are either X or W

I'll give you any help I can if you need it

Thank you GP, I use a prgram called TurboIrc3   , I think is the same of mirc or similar, anyway a dedicated program.

Tonight I will read deeper the "how to" for registration.

Thank you

Well, I've never heard of the server your using. It seems pretty new to me.
Talked with some people, and they'd recommend gamesnet, since people tend to be more friendly over there. Quakenet seems more stable, but it's been awhile since I've spendt any time on there.  
But if you're going with your current server or find a new one is up to you

Ehm...    it's a quiet server with a lot of people who want to be quiet and silent...

Anyway the server is not a problem !
