Title: Obviously there is no free IRC client, right?
Post by: rtf on Sun 18/04/2004 02:06:23
Obviously there is no free IRC client, right?
The world wouldn't make sense if there were, but I want to make sure.  I live off of free stuff.  :)
 mIRC is shareware, and I searched for FREE IRC under google.  I found a few things, but i couldn't find QuakeNet.

Can someone help by telling me the name of a free one?

Or can someone just say that there is no free IRC client that can get #AGS and that I should stop being cheap and start working, punk!

1: goto www.mirc.com

2: download the irc client (it's pay if you want to stuff)

3: install it

4: run it

5: on the connection screen, under server click on random quakenet server"

6: once connected type "/join #ags"

7: serve with caffene and humor

Vastly in the majority they're free.

http://www.ircreviews.org/clients/platforms-windows.html look through them.
Use Miranda http://www.miranda-im.org/ or Trillian http://www.trillian.cc/ so as to only use once client for IRC, MSN, AOL, ICQ and Yahoo if you want.

Or look at the following thread.

Thanks everybody.

Las Naranjas-  I tried the BersIRC client, but I couldn't figure out how to hook up to the quakenet server.

MIRC is completely free.  You only get a two-second nag when you first load it up if it's past the trial period.  Just ignore it; wait the two seconds then click the button, and you won't have a problem.

google Xchat if you want total non-nag freeness.

Several of my peers use Chatzilla, which comes with the Mozilla browser, and they seem pleased with it.  I don't use it myself though.

I only use XiRCON. Totally free, and not that hard to hook up
http://www.xircon.com/

1. Connect to irc.quakenet.org:6667, 6668, or another one if current one is full.
2. /join #ags
3. Go nuts

Chatzilla is okay, but I still find myself using mIRC more than it and only use Chatzilla if mIRC is screwing up on me.

Anyway, to use Chatzilla... you have to do something like:

/attach uk.quakenet.org (maybe irc.quakenet.org)

then:

/join #ags (that is if you want to talk to us :P)

I'm a unix geek.  I just type "irc" at my shell.  If I'm on the wrong network I just type /server xxx.yyy.zzz

It's so easy.
