For the time being we'll be using my other site's IRC channel (Talk Camp). No one currently uses it so it'll just be for this site.
If you already have an IRC client, you can locate us on channel #talkbudgies on server irc.vbulletin-fans.com port 6667.
If you don't have an IRC client, you can download TurboIRC (http://download.com.com/3000-2150-10294137.html?part=84060 &subj=dlpage&tag=button) for free.
If you already have an IRC client, you can skip the next steps. If you downloaded TurboIRC, here's how you can connect to our channel:
After the program is installed, click the Connect button located at the top left corner of the screen.
If this is your first time using the program, a dialog will pop up that has a button which allows you to skip it. If you don't feel like filling it out you may skip it.
The next dialog you may not skip. This is where you will connect to the channel. Ignore the stuff in the left-hand column. In the right-hand column, next to Group Name you can just put vBFans. For the Address field, put irc.vbulletin-fans.com. Leave the Port field alone. For the Nick field, enter your forum username (just so we know who you are). Obviously enter your e-mail address for the E-Mail field. You can also put your name in the Name field.
Hit the Connect button, which is located at the bottom left of the dialog box.
Wait for it to connect; this might take a few moments.
After it connects, another dialog box will pop up, type #talkbudgies into the blank field and click the Join this channel button.
This next step is optional, but if you want to keep your username and ensure no one else uses it, then you should really do this. Type /msg nickserv REGISTER pass email into the box, replacing pass with a password and email with your e-mail address. When you did this hit enter. (Don't worry, no one else can see this. It will not show up in the chat room.) It may show errors telling you to choose a more obscure password, but if you see a message saying "Nickname your nickname registered under your account:..." then it worked anyway.That's all there is to it. There are some symbols you'll need to understand. These will appear in front of usernames:
! - administrator
@ - super moderator
% - junior staff and VIP members
+ - Talk Budgies member
(no symbol) - guest, or you're a member but we haven't added you as a member yet.If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I hope that everyone takes advantage of this channel!
