New to this whole IRC thing reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wittypun · 2011-11-02 20:19 I'm kind of just sitting in the Reddit channel being awkward. How do I do this thing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- venuism · 2011-11-02 20:30 I suggest you enroll into the prestigious and world renown MIRC Academy and choose your major, I am MIRC Academy alumni, I graduated in 95 with a masters in advanced chatting theory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lollerc0aster · 2011-11-02 20:30 It sounds like you learned how to lurk. That's one of the most important parts of IRC. Try chiming in when something relevant to your interests comes up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wittypun · 2011-11-02 20:34 I have mastered the art of lurking due to serious social anxiety ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-11-02 21:08 Your training is complete! Your irc-carrier will now form itself from the path of channels you choose to lurk in the future. Good luck young one! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FailureToComply · 2011-11-02 21:11 Find channels relevant to your interests. Check out other networks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cknipe · 2011-11-02 21:29 Wait 'til he learns about competitive idling. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-11-02 21:37 Social anxiety? You'll be right at home on IRC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dol1house · 2011-11-02 21:42 Wait 'til he finds #idlerpg on different servers! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fastbiter · 2011-11-03 01:07 Pfff, all the cool kids went to IRSSIU. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mhweaver · 2011-11-03 01:40 I had one of the services idling for me (I wanna say it was HelpServ or NickServ...) for a few months, on a network I used to be an admin on, and there were still apparently people idling better than me... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-11-03 02:31 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- liquoranwhores · 2011-11-03 02:32 I usually introduce myself into a new IRC community by sharing my favorite ASCII art. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- joke-away · 2011-11-03 03:29 Post this link and describe everything that happens in it: http://67.2 3.218.214/CgiStart?page=Single&Resolution=640x480&Quality=Standard&RPe riod=0&Size=STD&PresetOperation=Move&Language=0 Declare your undying love for one of the cooks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- joke-away · 2011-11-03 03:30 xchat high? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dol1house · 2011-11-03 03:33 I gave up after awhile. Even with an irssi account that is constantly connected other people idled better than me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Paimun · 2011-11-03 05:00 I second XChat, although it's missing some keyboard shortcuts mIRC has and in general is documented pretty erratically. Also, I need a good "now playing" script for it. AMIP and XChat don't work together... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hydrogenous · 2011-11-03 09:05 Typically I engage in some level 4 trolling. Most of the time I just wait for paradox to say something stupid and make fun of him. Other times I just hit on the ladies. At any rate, all you really have to do in IRC is act superior to everyone else. You'll fit right in. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A_Ghra · 2011-11-03 10:32 Don't forget about guns. You love talking about guns. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hydrogenous · 2011-11-03 10:36 Yeah but there is an entire very active chan for that now; Reddit- Guns! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aperson · 2011-11-03 13:30 MIRC? \**shudders* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- trua · 2011-11-03 14:08 Yeah that would be a kickban on any of my channels. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Solarbetrayl · 2011-11-03 15:41 Flooooooooooood ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Solarbetrayl · 2011-11-03 15:44 Accept all incoming files ---------------------------------------------------------------------- venuism · 2011-11-03 21:03 Nah the real premier chatters use bouncers so that they can use many different clients at the same time. I learned that in clients 101 class at MIRC Academy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- liquoranwhores · 2011-11-03 23:13 You would dare interrupt my ART? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-11-05 18:22 Noob here, what is this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- joke-away · 2011-11-06 01:27 It's a webcam. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-11-10 19:59 lold ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheShadowFog · 2011-11-16 20:20 What store is that??? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- joke-away · 2011-11-16 21:11 Not sure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheShadowFog · 2011-11-16 21:56 :( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- joke-away · 2011-11-17 10:14 Some kind of Pizza Hut I think. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheShadowFog · 2011-11-17 13:42 OOOH. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- freezway · 2011-11-23 01:01 your subreddit is over at /r/shittyadvice ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Solarbetrayl · 2011-11-23 01:17 Lmao ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The_Hatta · 2011-11-27 07:07 Store 12 has some dirty @$$ floors - /me shutters ---------------------------------------------------------------------- swarleh · 2011-12-06 18:19 If you can code at all, I would make a bot.. IN YOUR OWN CHANNEL. Try it in a main and get banned forever... Seeing as that is how I got G-Lined on Effnet... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- turkeytom · 2011-12-16 01:02 what is irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-12-31 15:37 fun police ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tehfly · 2012-01-11 05:54 Indeed, IRC was developed by a Finn. Social anxiety is a racial passive ability for Finns.
