Chat on IRC With San Diego/Chula Vista/Tijuana!

Attention.

So, I now registered and set-up a neat little IRC chat for anyone that wants to join. Many of use AllisBrawl, Facebook, Myspace, AIM, what-have-you, but what IRC offers is an active and permanent place for us to discuss anything we absolutely want without having to resort to repeatedly spamming this thread. So you can read me making fun of you in pseudo-real-time. Here is how you set-it-up.

There Are Two Options. The Cool Way, and the Lame Way.

The Cool Way

1st Step: Download mIRC. www.mirc.com

2nd Step: Install It. You don’t have to register or whatever, so you can keep using the trial version and what not.

3rd Step: Run mIRC.

4th Step:

Click There

5th Step:

Fill out all the information in the green box. The nickname is the nickname you’ll use when you chat, and the Alternative is another nickname you’ll use in case the first one is already in use. Then click on “Servers” in the red box. Find “Webchat” and the click “Select” on the right-hand side. Finally, click “Connect.”

6th Step:

Once you’ve connected, a bunch of text will fly at you, and then this box will appear. Type in “#SanDiegoSmash” at the top. You can add to your favorites so you automatically join it once you’ve connected by clicking “Add.” Usually, I have those checkmarks on the bottom turned off.

7th Step: You’re basically done and you can start chatting. If you want to register your nickname type in “/NS Help” and you can figure it out from there. I don’t hold hands.

The Lame Way

1st Step: http://www.mibbit.com/chat/

2nd Step: Click “Server” at the top of the applet. The server address is “irc.webchat.org”

3rd Step: Fill out your nickname and the channel. The channel name is #SanDiegoSmash

4th Step: Profit.
