# irc.... How does it work?

Im sorry this is probably the wrong place to post it, and so i dont mind tok much if a mod will delete it, but could someone telk me what one needs to do to access irc, what is it for, and how does it work? Or just give me a link to a manual/faq page.

Umm what i havent said i guess is that i went n to it today for the first time, and i was apparently banned.... Could it be that i got someones ip, who was banned? Anyway, just saying.

You probably pissed off Tegumi.

... Could it be me posting in ib? The cousin thread... Oh well thanks classy.

This should help you understand what exactly IRC is and how it operates.

Why isn't that thread somewhere prominent? Should be linked above the browser client or something, at least.

For the longest time I thought that thread was stickied.

it was, someone must have either edited it (not me) or removed the sticky.

Seems like a lot of people aren’t use to idling. There should be a guide or something above the web client.

And have a message saying something about idling, as many people join the channel, say “hi” and leave after like 20 seconds.

Me too, I thought it was still stickied.



@Waar I tried to use the xdcc for DL-ing after following your instructions from that thread about 5-8 months ago, and I failed, just sayin'.

Either the bot is glitchy, which happens from time to time, or you have an accept only setting turned on. Got to disable that. It's a dumb security feature in mirc to prevent idiots from accepting random .exe files.

That is my guess anyway.
