Yes we have an IRC channel. And yes, we've been waiting for you
In continuation of NEO|Phyte's IRC threads such as this one, I'd like to take the time to remind people that, yes, we do indeed have an IRC channel! In order to alleviate concerns about the complexity of setting up an IRC client, we've simply set up a widget that allows you to connect to the channel in two clicks, so that forum-goers who haven't even heard of IRC can join in.
1. Go to the widget page here.
2. Pick a nickname, preferably similar to the one you use here for easy recognizability.
3. Hit Connect. Let the widget warm up, and you're in!
It's a great community, with recognizable members such Fax Celestis, Gralamin, AstralFire, NEO|Phyte and SweetRein, as well as many other frequent visitors to the forum. Ongoing games are semi-frequent if that's your thing, and we've got an in-channel dicebot to help with such things.
Probably best of all, you get to interact with other GITP forum-goers, even if the boards are down, without having to worry about furious debate over the monk's merits, and with more freedom to work with - less moderation, no scrubbed posts, and no locked threads!
If you have a traditional IRC client, you can reach us at the server irc.gamesurge.net, channel #giantitp.
With that, join us here at the IRC chat, and have fun!

I'd like to motion for a sticky. As I always try and find this thread, 'cause I never remember how to get on, but I can never find it.

Re: Yes we have an IRC channel. And yes, we've been waiting for you
As the owner of the channel, I suppose I'd better post here too. Not sure the exact date I registered the channel, but it's certainly over four years since my first IRC thread. Maybe we'll come up with something fancy for the 5 year anniversary. Assuming we don't forget by the time it gets here.
Man this thing was full of outdated stuff.

The channel becomes most active between from about 1700 to 0200 (GMT), since a lot of people there are American or Canadian.
There are usually a couple of people with their eyes on the channel no matter what the time is, however.Last edited by lesser_minion; 2010-08-01 at 06:32 AM.

No man, MSN is the place to hang out.
I currently have around 120 playgrounders on msn, 30 of which are online at the moment.

I dunno, the IRC's not bad. Just if it gets crowded you can get lost in the group.

Re: Yes we have an IRC channel. And yes, we've been waiting for you
And Mauve is usually the only person around when I log in. If I'm lucky. It's usually dead when I'm on it (which is rare, I'll admit)
MSN chats are confusing though. And usually end up in discussions about FFRP, leaving me completely lost. Pros and cons of both!
Anyway, I'm glad you posted this thread, Starsinger, because the last time one of these threads was around I didn't have IRC. So by the time I got one I'd completely forgotten about this.

The chat is remarkably alive at any time of the day, as far as I know for the past few days. This is impressive.

Well, looks like I've found something to do my last weeks at work. Awesome!

If you want to check this out but are worried about there not being anybody on, a good time would be now. As we speak!

Re: Yes we have an IRC channel. And yes, we've been waiting for you
I downloaded the client that was in the old thread, joined, said "hi", then accidentally closed it, and now it won't let me connect because it says that my name is already in use.

Ok I went on with it just before a big warforged-alter self debate, msn seems more fun but more confusing than this. Despite the fact I only have 20friends on msn and only 1 is on Giantitp
