Introduction
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It's a simple chat interface we use to talk to each other during the day, and it usually has a minimum of 15 players at all times of the day, and typically peaks around 30 players in the evenings/night Eastern time.
IRC is perfect for people who like talking about poker or talking with poker players, but don't feel like they're reaching their full potential with the forum/bulletin board interface for communication.
Connecting using mIRC

Connecting to IRC
Here are euphoricism's instructions for using the program mIRC to connect:
| euphoricism wrote: | go to www.mirc.com and download/install mIRC. Run it.
A box will pop up. Create a nickname for youself, and join server irc.thundercity.net, it might be on the server list, it might not. If not, just add it yourself. If it asks for a port put 6660
When youre connected, then join the channel flopturnriver by typing /join #flopturnriver |
Connecting to IRC Using a Web Browser
Alternatively you can go to http://www.thundercity.net/chat/ and after you log in type /join #flopturnriver instead of needing to download mIRC
Rules
There are a few rules for the IRC channel: 1) No beats, coolers, or bitching, 2) Please post hand histories with www.pokerhand.org or www.weaktight.com, 3) Mark NSFW images as such, 4) Do not use "light" or any similar word as an adverb describing poker actions. Enjoy. |

Plus IRC clients have ridiculously more functionality. And it doesn't disconnect you or exit out if you hit the wrong buttons (maybe I am just an idiot).
I'm all for IRC over the web chat, it is like, 1000 times better.
If none of the higher-ups here want to do it, I can work on it or something. I dunno.
I'm not a fan of the web chat though, even if I am in there all the time. |

go to www.mirc.com and download/install mIRC. Run it.
A box will pop up. Create a nickname for youself, and join server irc.thundercity.net, it might be on the server list, it might not. If not, just add it yourself. If it asks for a port put 6660. Alternatively you can close that grey box and t ype /server irc.thundercity.net
When youre connected, then join the channel flopturnriver by typing /join #flopturnriver |

Which is exactly what my first point was -- to have it ran by mods.
Omfg I'm such a mover and a shaker. Like one minute I'm like omfg let's have IRC channel and 10 minutes later there's like a dozen people in there. |

Another option is Pidgin. Then you can manage AIM/MSN/Yahoo/IRC from the same app. Also it auto adds color to the names so you can somewhat differentiate in IRC |

Yeah if I was trying to get confidence in things being a little differently this time around then having ME make posts about the channel probably wasn't the brightest idea. |

Shit, sorry to hear that miffed. Wish you and yours well.
Jack, no its not down. Try a different port, like 6660. I am currently connected on port 6664.
Thundercity doesnt work on some ports. I have no idea why, but I do know 6661 doesnt work, but 6662 does for example.
If youre using mIRC type /server irc.thundercity.net 6660 |

Wednesday night was not a miss.
There was some good poker discussion going on.
You just have to stick around long enough for someone to start it up. |
