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
YouTube - Connect to #flopturnriver Using mIRC
Connecting to IRC
Here are euphoricism's instructions for using the program mIRC to connect:

When youre connected, then join the channel flopturnriver by typing /join #flopturnriver and/or the ftr poker channel by typing /join #ftrbc |
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 and/or /join #ftrbc instead of needing to download mIRC
Two Channels
Currently we have two channels: #flopturnriver is for the general chat and banter, and #ftrbc is for all poker chat.
UPDATE: 9/17/2010
It looks like mIRC has started expiring when it wasn't before, and the thundercity.net website isn't working lately, so here are instructions for using IceChat:
Go download IceChat: IceChat IRC Client :: IRC Client Extra-Ordinaire :: The Chat Cool People Use
When it comes up when you run it, on the left click the Add New button and put in irc.thundercity.net, then choose irc.thundercity.net from the list and click connect. After it connects, type /join #flopturnriver in the box and hit enter, and you're there.

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.

I was not paid for this testimonial. When I joined I won a 400bb pot like 30 minutes after I joined the chat, coincidence I think not.

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

the IRC channel will be fine because it will be run by FTR mods. It will not be operated by people who were banned from FTR.

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.

Then again we're doing fine right around 15 people in almost all the time so hopefully it'll stay this way; I like having people to talk to all in one window.

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.

lol I think I got sick of the result orientedness tendency in hands discussed on irc. Strange that I dont even remember getting on the computer before going to bed, yet typing/spelling is almost perfect.
I'm sorry about the "FU" though, that seems uncalled for.
