Suggestion: Chat

Fri Jun 05, 2015 10:07 am

What do you guys think of adding a chat to this site? Is there any popular demand? I know I would most likely love to have a chat here :D

It would be a great idea!

I suggest Quakenet irc: Free, you can register channels & names, you can connect to it via an IRC Client (available for PC, Mac, Android, phones, Super Gameboy, so it's no problem to let the Chat run in the background all the time ;-) Some multi-messangers such already support IRC.

For those who do not want to install an IRC client, there's the web interface easily added to the site...

See you in the Chat! :-)

(I took the freedom to register Q for now, so no one "steals" the channel.)

Adding it to the site either as link or e.g.
Code:
<iframe src="http://webchat.quakenet.org/?randomnick=1&channels=gamebuino&prompt=1&uio=OT10cnVlJjExPTcyb7" width="647" height="400"></iframe>
(customizable color, events, layout - to some extend)

Quakenet, https://www.quakenet.org/servers / https://www.quakenet.org/help/q/how-to- ... unt-with-q

For shameless self-advertisement I wrote one that connects with IRC and hooks up with forum accounts https://omnomirc.omnimaga.org

Neat! Do you suggest another server?

I personally use freenode but that webchat can hook up with any :)

Some of the channels I am in are on Quakenet, thus I suggested it :-) But freenode would be just as fine. I am not familiar with channel/user name registrations anymore, though. Though I suppose Rodot has the last word.

For those of you who are interested i have now a bot running which notifies the channel of new posts

Yes, that would be nice, and of course I would give OP to Rodot

Or the shoutbox I suggest/made which also hooks up to IRC ;)
