Yeah bullshit is good some times :-) And escape from reality too :-) But what i wanna to say that reality never be the same to virtuality ;-) In reality is better :-D

I'm an IRC-junkie, I use most of my time on it, I'm addicted to mIRC as a client (damn how I lvoe that scripting language ).
It's also where I learn most of what I know, there I can bug Tim to teach me linux stuff, firenimmo and Catatifish about PHP and MySQL etc (Tim you know ,the other two I doubt), it's a great place to talk, and you do meet alot of interesting people...of course tehre's the oddballs form time to time...usually between 3-6 when the kiddies get home from school

My favorite kind of looser on th enet is the ones with the lame ass "your mom" comebacks to everything you say...specially when they're all identical no matter what you say

Has anyone used IRC for even more than conferencing and exchanging files? I mean really crazy things, which totally miss the intent of IRC.

A few years ago I have used a local IRC server for message passing in a calculation cluster environment (don't ask for the purpose). The messages were encrypted and signed. The hosts had to authenticate themselves to a non-central network of other hosts. Every channel was an own cluster network. However, I've never done something real with it. It was just experimental.

I know one use of IRC that totally misses the point (it no longer happens now though).
There was a guy who was involved in the creation of cheats for an online game, now at the time, for some things you needed to actually identify numbers and letters to progress (sort of like the pictures you have to read when signing up for forums and stuff). Well anyway, he of course didn't like that so he created a program which allows other users to type it in for you so that your macros could go on about their way.
Now you may think that it seems stupid to expect others to type for you, well the point was that every word you typed into it gave you a credit and the credits were traded in for other people typing for you, so you may have to sit there and watch it for a while but then you could let it run while you slept or something.
Anyway, this whole system ran through the guys IRC network (not that the users knew that) however, we did (I run an IRC network which is very anti-cheating towards this particular game) and we decided to have some fun at his expense. So some of the admins of my network wrote a couple of bots which respawned themselves and threw each client that needed a word typed for them something completely irrelavent and completely fucked up the system :D
As you may have guessed, it wasn't very productive to keep this running anymore when we were causing false positives to happen 98% of the time.

Then I use IRC for all sorts of stuff, its convienient, you can send some text and have various other systems register it, record it, manipulate it and god knows what else. Sure that may not be what its meant for but it does the job well with little work from me (you could possibly refer to my java request in the web scripting section).

Hmm the java chat part to connect to irc server i can probably do it but I seriously don;t udnerstand the part of the moderators or whatever u term it as commands etc ... abit too in my coumtry slang 'cheem" aka deep for me to comprehend ..

Interesting one. =)

The funniest time was the time on the Microsoft IRC network. It was bad, it was unstable and it was cool. =)

Unfortunately, Microsoft has closed the network, because there was no outcome (I guess).

I basically use the quote button as in to reply to whoever as a note ... well if that's considered spamming actually for posting sake .. I'm jzu trying eb involved .. anyway ... I think u all think too much of the posts ... Well ... I won;t be posting in here anymore .. Sorry for all the erm wadeva u call it .. spammings ...

Btw I do know the edit button .. Ive used it at times ....

Well different people have difefrent style of writting or replying in this case I guess ....

Ciaoz ...
Good day to u all ...

Disclaimer: No offence nor pointing to anyone ... It's just my style if not happy move on rather than dangling ard ..
Nice erm "knowing" ya'all ...
Btw for a person with carpal tunnel sydrome and cubital tunnel sydrome ... I seldom post and I don;t come onto this forum everyday as well

hey bud, don't get upset.. No reason to leave... I actually understand why you posted the way you posted - I'm too lazy to look for the part to quote, then quote it, then organize my post, then blah blah. It's all good, nobody died.

spamming on IRC is something which happens all the time,
also in forums (Ayukie Im sorry, but i got ur posts as a "food for thought"
and nothiing more, i dont blame u).
However in IRC if something does not inresests you, u can ignore it
easier, IRC runs "faster" than a forum.
