Draft Day Chat (Includes Instructions)

[Seamonk]

For those of you who want to spend draft night drunk and typing incoherently in a chat room. There's 3 options, all of them connect to the same chat. Use Option 3 for more of a "point and click" approach.

OPTION 1:

Instructions for Mibbit

Step 1: Goto http://mibbit.com/

Step 2: Click on "Chat Now"

Step 3:

Chat on thousands of IRC networks and connect with millions of people instantly.

Choose an IRC network, nickname and #channel

Should come up with drop down menus underneath it. If this hasn't occurred go back to step 1.

For " IRC: ", use the dropdown to select IRCHighWay [webirc]. (Drop Down to the "I"s by pressing I on the keyboard.)

Type in your Username for the "Nick" box.

And this is the most important part, for "Channel:" type in #carolinahuddle.

Include the '#'

So all filled out, an example would be

IRC: IRCHighWay [webirc]

Nick: Poopface Channel: #carolinahuddle

Step 4: Press Go

Step 5: ?????

Step 6: Profit.

You should be all set and in the the room. If any admins/mods come on from here, be sure to tell me so i can give you guys your power :/

See you guys, draft night ;3

Edit: For people with IRC clients: /server -m irc.highway.net -j #carolinahuddle

You can get an IRC client for android/iphones too.

OPTION 2:

For Android Users:

http://www.andchat.net/ - Free

http://www.yaaic.org/ - Free

and here's a link for comparisons between clients: http://blog.lassey.us/2010/06/25/android-irc-clients/

There's also ones like Android IRC(not free), etc on the market.

https://market.android.com/search?q=IRC

You can use any of these to connect to the chat. So if you're at BoA for the draft thing, you can get on your phone and check in on the chat from there. If you need help with setting this up, feel free to PM me.

OPTION 3:

ChatZilla Firefox Add-on Tutorial [if all else fails]

Step 1: get this add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chatzilla/?id=16

Step 2: click this link irc://irc.irchighway.net/carolinahuddle

or type it into your address bar.

Step 3: Chatzilla should autoload, it may take a minute or two to connect to the server. Change your nickname/username by typing in "/nick whateveryouwantyournametobe" without quotes into the window after you connect.

ALL of these methods will connect to the same chat.

too much work, i'll just sit here and chat back and forth with the tv.

[Marguide]

Are these the instructions to hack into the Pentagon's mainframe, or to get into the chat?

Whatever happened to "point and click"?

I mean it's not like the huddle's gonna crash or anything... :rolleyes:

[Seamonk]

the chat isn't hosted -on- the huddle. the only thing that would be lost would be these directions. Which is why i put them up this early o_o;;

Ahhh. Smart thinking.

I would have been one of those idiots trying to get in so I could refresh myself on the instructions.

Time to copy and paste. Thanks for the tip. :thumbsup:
