NESFILES Chat Room.

Alright instead of the Off-topic stuff that has been happening around here I thought it would be a neat idea to have a Chat room on these forums. We could use this site to make the chat room:

We already have an IRC channel. Though I've been the only one in it for the past... week now.

Perhaps we need to find a java IRC client to simplify things for inexperienced users.

Yeah... sorry I can't make it on any more... my dear old mum almost strangled me when she found out I installed a chat client... I'm afraid that years of anti-chat sentiment have had a profound effect on her.

I pretty much gave up on the IRC thing. Not enough people took interest, though it was fun talking to those that did pop in every once-in-a-while.

Oh man thats too bad. I would be on in that chat room 24/7.

Then why didn't you join earlier?! Sheesh.

I never knew about it. If I did I would have joined so fast.

This is EXACTLY why we have .

I tried the IRC clients, but they would only work if I turned off my firewall/internet security, which i'm not too keen on doing as I always seem to get viruses. (I think I had a conversation with Uber Newb about this)
Otherwise, I would have joined for sure.yeah same here i think uber newb said he saw me once there but it wasn't me.

Sorry Roth. I will like more often now.

Well, I'm the only one willing to risk my virtual well-being for my forum... of course, risking my physical well-being is another matter. Hence my (hopefully temporary, but not likely) abandonment of MIRC.

I tried it and got the same thing. Turning off the 'ol firewall ain't happening.

I had to turn off my antivirus .

I can get in fine, but because of my schedule I can only get in at ungodly hours. And no one seems to be up that late. So I only popped in a couple of times before throwing in the towel :P

Turn off your AntiVirus software? Running Norton, or McAfee, eh?

I'd strongly suggest .

You don't have to TURN OFF your firewall, just forward some ports, or allow the application if you're using the XP firewall or ZoneAlarm.

I can't help beyond that adVice, I'm not lame and have a router with a built-in, functional firewall that doesn't lame up my connection.

Have Zonealarm. Tried turning of the firewall, gave Mirc a full trust rating (and therebye giving it unrestricted access, supposedly), but still no good. At the end, I had almost turned off everything, it still wouldn't work, so I just shut down the software.
