I know there are chat threads, but I think It would be a lot more fun for Boyah to have its own IRC channel.

I heard that http://www.badnik.net/ would be a good place to get one of those things.

Good idea? bad Idea?

I thought there was one already. 

Daddy

We do. no one ever uses it

Samus Aran

we've tried this several times

it's fun at first for a while but then nobody goes anymore and there's no point

bluaki

Boyah's had an IRC chat at irc.chatspike.net in #dhitboyay

But every time it's mentioned, people stay in it at most a couple days after that and then it becomes empty for months.

We just need to get members to keep mIRC running in the background. Once you can get in the habbit of doing so, IRC is a lot more fun, since you always have people to talk to.

YPrrrr

I would have done it had I ever figured out how to get it to work

strongbad

I vote that somebody (Bluaki) makes an instructional thread on how to get it working through mIRC, and then members just keep it in the background, so if you're on the computer, you're in Boyah IRC. Hell, you could even do it through pidgin, which is just as easy.

Why mIRC? Are you clientist? madood;

But yeah the only problem with that is that we lose activity on the forums when people are on IRC a lot.

Just set any IRC client to the server "stitch.chatspike.net" and the channel "#dhitboyay".

In Pidgin, you have to add an account for IRC and leave its password field blank then use the buddy list's join chat dialog.

In XChat (or YChat, its free Windows version), just select ChatSpike from the Network list and join the channel. On the chance that you have a connection issue, edit ChatSpike's entry in the list to something like this: [spoiler][/spoiler]

mIRC sucks and is overcomplicated, not to mention it's a non-free nagging trial. If you don't like Pidgin, I'd suggest trying XChat (Windows link)

I leave my IRC client running whenever I'm online so I'll be in there if other people are.

Oh idk that's just all i've ever used and all I've ever been told to use.

Alright I am going to stay signed on in pidgin now. Everybody else should do the same.

don't let's

But seriously, an IRC would be cool, even if there is like two duders there at once.  cjlubdoods;
