Maybe it was just me, but last time I logged on I just felt like everyone stopped talking when I appeared.

If I had a mIRC vulnerability hack I could clear #amiga.org in 10 seconds flat. ;)

I suppose its a sign of the times that people use PCs to IRC... but mIRC?? :-o

I haven't been using IRC on PCs for ages, and last I remember mIRC was THE IRC client to use. What's so bad about it nowadays, anyway?

I mostly use AmIRC on my A4000DT.

Well, I could start a whole rant on that myself, but I'll cut it short: it bastardises IRC standards with useless and badly thought out features that nobody uses and which break every other IRC client out there.

It does seem to happen, but what's really happening is that you dropped in at the end of a conversation. Converstaions are cunning like that.  :-P

We had 1 guy join today who was new and he made it onto the major stats list for the channel in an hour.  If thats not worth while traffic lvls, what is?  Join the party people...uhh...people...

Well you could get the ferry to Hull, or to Kent (which is where I live). Depends on what else you want to see in the UK... If you want to go to London, Dover etc would be best, otherwise Hull is cheaper IIRC. I think its also possible to get the boat right up to the NE (Newcastle/Tyneside area)

Regards

Oh, almost forgot, you can also get the channel tunnel, but you would have to drive through Belgium and Northern France to get the train from Calais.

Well, I didn't forget them but didn't mention, yes. There are quite a few AmIRC users indeed. XChat just seems to be quite popular among ppl who aren't using AmigaOS, prolly because it resembles AmIRC.

there any other IRC prog that does the trick or is AmIRC the best?

@Ilwrath

You must've come there at a bad time .. there's plenty of talk while everyone isn't sleeping or at work (at least a job where one can't IRC at the same time ;-) ).



Not saying you were one of them, but there are really many people who join the channel, wait 8 seconds and if no one happens to say anything, leave. It's not like there's constant, 24/7 chat going on, but that doesn't mean there aren't people there - so feel free to start a new conversation everyone.
