You who use msn should look into making a chat channel on IRC you can set your own up there, i`m sure omegian or loof could help you with that or some of teh other staff ex staff in game.
I suggest this purely for one reason, that is msn has hellish lag when people part or join, and a larger conversation can be annoying on it for that reason, also annoying when people spam you with nudges and emoticons, sure its funny for a while then you just end up blocking them..
IRC has no lag, at least not if you use trillian, xchat or virc or mirc as a client to get on it.
On that front, about Trillian
I`d recommend trillian then you can have irc and msn in one program, and yeah trillian as a client for msn is less laggy than msn itself, doesn`t have as many emoticon features though, but they tend to piss me off anyway, it does have some nice skins if you`re into the cosmetic imagery of a chat client. I know there aren`t as many players playing GC as there once was, easily 1/4 of what there were when i started or less, however less lag the better i`m sure for you all.
Its just a tip or recommendation, anyone that is a respectful computer gek type would try this and see if i`m right if only to try to prove me wrong. Try them see what you think.
Treg runs the Californian webbnet irc server www.webbnet.info irc.ca.webbnet.info:6667
you`ll see it listed as that on that web address. I find that its more secure than other irc servers out there for that reason. |

99+ day(s) ago | I prefer MSN more than IRC, as you can do alot more quicker, sometimes IRC can get problematic in terms of connection and what certain people copy paste ... might be considered spam from IRC thus a kick ...
But i dont mind helping/pointing in the direction of using IRC to idle or to chat with admins and other guides |

99+ day(s) ago | Hmm i should try trillian. So if i have Msn and MIRC already installed i can use both>?
I have no idea of how to use irc at all. I just installed Chatzilla, as it has irc on it. |
