Title: Come chat in the IRC channel (#geekhack @ freenode)
Post by: hashbaz on Mon, 01 October 2012, 15:50:34: Hello, geekhackers. Chit-chatting in real time with fellow enthusiasts is a lot of fun. Why not come hang out in the geekhack IRC channel? For the uninitiated, there should be an easy "IRC" link in your geekhack toolbar. For the initiated, the channel is #geekhack on freenode.

Apparently there was some ancient beef that went down between the forum regulars and the IRC regulars. That is all in the past, and I don't really care what happened.. All I know is that the channel is pretty dead most of the time when it could be hopping and bopping with newbie Q&A, switch debate, and talk of ping and PBT doubleshots.

There's also a #deskthority.

:O really?

Didn't know Ripster dropped by the IRC.

Post by: hashbaz on Mon, 01 October 2012, 17:30:08: Yeah ripster just spammed up the channel and then left.

There are a lot of geekhackers that skype chat with each other as well. But with IRC there's no need to friend each other and add to various chats.

Code: [Select]

I had the same problem, which MissMurd3r84 helped me fix with the help of another person in the IRC.

You need to click the Auth to services checkbox and sign in with a Freenode account, I think.

Post by: absyrd on Thu, 15 November 2012, 11:37:14: Thanks to jero and Soarer I can chat again.

I used to get on without auth to services, but now it seems i have to.

Post by: SmallFry on Thu, 15 November 2012, 11:37:50: Dfj, the person you need to talk to, has "quieted" the WebIRC link due to Ripster coming in and spamming. You now need to authenticate with the services or ping Dfj or *reluctantly* Kishy. Don't tell Kishy that I sent you though!
