NEW *NEW* IRC CHANNEL!! (this one isn't temporary)
 

Ok, let's all thank Peetster and Hanxter for their great work in finding us a great new network.

irc.shadowfire.org
#tfp

in the case of bad connection:
if you are in north america, connect to us.shadowfire.org
if you are in europe, connect to eu.shadowfire.org

Once again, Irvingnet is down for the count. Undernet was our temp network, but since it's so popular and most people couldn't even reserve their normal nicks (myself included) we found this one...

ummm...... shortcut for the lazy people with irc clients:

Join Channel

;) :thumbsup:

Seems fast.

Seems fast, Meh name's not registered.. So, Where's my approved stamp? Oh yah, I don't have one...

so your nick doesn't get leeched - be sure your nick is the way ya want it - type...

/msg nickserv register yourpassword youremail

then check your email - should be immediate - you'll get an authentication code - like this...

/msg NickServ AUTH *********

copy and paste that line in the channel - enter - you should be all set

Woohoo! Glad we have a permanent home again...

woohooo....oh wait...why am I banned from chat?

Come in and have fun.

I don't have pants on most of the time.

Would love to...but for some reason i am banned :( can anyone help

(edit: nevermind)

I'm showing no bans on the channel. If you are still experiencing problems let me know.

4/8/04: Channel has been down all day. What's going on?

they got hacked - DOS attack - they're working on it

You can connect to the server in the US at us.shadowfire.org
Europe: eu.shadowfire.org

wow, when i connect to us.shadowfire.org, i get connected and all the "message of the day" and "don't do this or we'll ban you" bs, but then mirc crashes. tested out numerous other irc servers (efnet, undernet, dalnet, etc.) and didn't have this problem. is it my client or is there a problem with the shadowfire server?

which version are you using?

(or using any scripts with it?)

mirc v 5.91, no scripts

well - we're in there having eggs - the bacon must be frozen...

hmm....after a 15+ min search for that version (32-bit)..I found it, installed it, and connected without problems.

Not sure exactly what/why you're having probs with it, but regardless, I'd suggest getting the latest version, 6.14.

Is the eu flavour working at all?

Curse this cheap and nasty router/firewall piece of crap for sowing confusion upon me.

ty sin, tried 6.14 and mIRC didn't crash when i connected to the server

It told me your channel was by invite only,and I don't know shit about shit in irc chat anything.I must investigate.

they get my stamp of approval... have a server with lotsa ports open so i can connect thru my school firewall!

Is this only for chat stuff or is file trading allowed as well?

dksuddeth, it's not a file-sharing channel, really.

anyone have the time/patience to show links for an IRC client and a zippy tutorial for a IRC newb?

Hey there.

I don't know too much about IRC, but I know enough to get you started..

I use mIRC, which can be advanced, but isn't too overwhelming.

You can check it out/download it HERE.

There are other clients available, but I am honestly not too familiar with them.

After you download the Setup program from that site, you will want run it, and install it.

Then, after installing, start up mIRC.

The mIRC options screen will then open up.

At the top (to the right), you should see a few small buttons. Click "Add."

For description, I would put in "TFP Chatroom." This will identify the chat, so you will be able to find it again.

In the IRC Server text box, enter: irc.shadowfire.org

Don't change the Port(s). If it is empty, put: 6667 in the box.

For "Group" I entered: Other
That allows me to put all my Chatrooms into one Group.

Then click "Add."

After you click "Add," the chatroom will be added to your list. You should see it listed in the Dropdown list at the top center of the screen.

There is username and real name textboxes below. I recommend filling them out, but you don't have to give your real name. I'd just put a username you want in there (for both).

Now click, "Connect to IRC Server."

It will now connect you to the server the chat room is hosted on.

A window should pop up with a long list of room names. The room you want probably isn't on that list.

In the text box at the top enter the following: #tfp
# is the channel-prefix. So you are joining channel (#) TFP.

After entering the channel name, hit the Enter key, or click "Join."

You should then be entered into the chat room and see other users in it as well.

Chat away!

If any of the above instructions are un-clear or incorrect, please let me know. I am not an "IRC Master," but I am confident I know a few basic things, such as adding a server, and joining a chat room. If I messed up though, or you get confused, let me know and I'll fix it.

Take care and have fun!

I've never done anything easier in my entire life. Thanks!!!

How did I miss this?? Great news.... added to my Mirc faves.

Everbody TFP IRC R0X0RZ !!

its the new sliced bread...

I will and try to get mine to work again...it has been a long time!

shadowfire is down, it seems, website and all irc servers. anybody know details?

Cool, thanks!

Doesnt seem to be working currently

Nope it doesn't work on this side

I literally downloaded Mirc, installed, then clicked the link provided above to the TFP chatroom. It whole process may have taken 3 minutes tops.

Does anyone know of any web based IRC methods. I am at work alot, and there are alot of limitations as far as what I can do, such as no installing of programs and of course, limitations of websites I can visit. I am able to got almost every .org and .net site.

I have seen web based IRC applications in the past. Just wanted to know if there was one for this too.

worked fine even for me....trillian+http-tunnel
