How about an FTR IRC channel with some lame web client off the FTR home page?
yeah thats a great idea, we could have somewhere to hang and it sure would make playing each other and FTR showdowns easier to organise.
Amen. Great idea.
I'll direct Eric to this topic. He's our tech guy.
I'm talking w/ xianti about this right now. Apparently there is a phpbb mod we could use...
nice. or even an IRC Channel? #FTR
TTT. I'm an IRC junkie at work. Would be nice to chat with others on here.
Please check out the Chat Room feature at http://www.21ace.com/phpBB2/
You'll need to register a forum account to try it. Then, click on "Chat Room" near the top. It's a phpBB mod.
Let us know what you think.
It'll be great for rookies like myself (i don't call myself fish anymore LOL), but probably lots of baggage for the experienced players. I can only imagine all the questions i will be asking... 8-)
I get php errors when it loads.Quote:

You're right. Well... the problem is both. It's an issue with the browser on the Mac. I tried it with Mozilla on my Mac at work. I get this message after logging into the Chat Room:Quote:

Session halted.
It works fine in Windows, though.
I went back, and that is the same error i got. The first time i just glanced quickly and thought it was a php error.
*bump*
I think this would rock.. Any way it could happen?
Tyson, Eric and I are unfamiliar with IRC and we don't know how to set it up... which is why we were testing the phpBB chatroom mod.
Anyone care to educate us? How do we set up an IRC channel? What apps do we need?
Download an IRC client www.mirc.com you then need to decide whether you want to share an already used server or have a private server.
You then need to register a room with chanserv or something similar and could leave a Bot in there for op status and stuff if they dont already provide one.
Wants its set up I can slap everyone around with Trout :)
As an example I have opened a room named flopturnriver on the server undernet.
To access the channel join server Undernet.
Then type /join #flopturnriver
Because the room isn't registered it will dissappear once I leave.
WOW this is a great idea, I will most definetly be on mIRC all the time if this idea is implemented!!!
We (admins) just have to set aside some time to learn it and set it up.
Is it free to set up and use?
Its free

I like to chat while I play which usually leads to smack talk when someone gets annoyed, would be nice to chat to people I know oppsed to Idiots on PP . . .
we could also play H2H against each other more easily :P
I was wondering if any has happened with the chat idea?
Great idea..hope you guys can make it happend... it would be nice to get instant advice from FTR users :D
