How about using only one thread for IRC clients? Better than posting everything twice.

on windowss i use like some stupid mirc script and it sux but im lazy to fix it and dont have tiem to sniff tru my CDs for stupid default mirc
anyway on linux i use Xchat... standard, dont know for anything better
i dont chat a lot, i just hear sometimes whit my friends that i know in real life and sometimes whit other computer geeks hehe
anyway im probobly going to try stuff when i get my free shell here !

SqlByte: X-Chat runs on Windows as well (but use the latest version 2.0 there, not 2.4, as the newer Windows versions are non-free). And where is the point in waiting for a shell account to try out new IRC clients? ;)

eXtreme script is the best I ever use in Windoze !, very nice scripts and themes (themes are excellent), But our dear mIRC alone is always the best option..

BitchX with cypress and epic5 with oblivion are my choises on linux,

kernel, you're using the worst clients ever written. For both Windows and Linux, for both console and GUI. =)

Heh yeah with BX i realy pissed of to use... On linux i've jumped to the irssi it's more better :-) And talking about Win scripts many many very many scripts just sux 4 free :lol: just use some mIRC.exe without scripts :-) It'll be better, becouse many scripts have a backdoor trojans too.

mIRC itself is the pain, not the scripts. A plain mIRC is nearly useless. Just compare it to something like KVirc.

The NN-script is fine, but also a bit bloated.

I know nn script is not bad :-) But else is very bad :-) Also all of you are feel free to choose what to use :-)

Mostly i use xchat but every now or then i also use irssi .. it's a great client and i like using it.

Greetings knedl.

I also prefer irssi over all, but then again i am somewhat simplistic when chatting so I don't really need all the bells, whistles and uber colors of mIRC and bitchx.

I use mIRC myself. Though I like playing with other clients. BitchX is kinda fun to use for some reason.

irssi. I used to use X-Chat, but how can you run that over SSH inside screen?

irssi is one of the most colorful and noisy clients I know of - if you activate that stuff (colors are activated by default, unless your terminal string ($TERM) is not set correctly). Just have a look at my screenshots. There is only one client that is even more fancy: KVirc.

You can't, under normal circumstances, unless you have a local X-server installed and running, and set $DISPLAY correctly on the server (but this is not secure - an attacker would gain access to your IRC sessions, to your server account and eventually even to your local machine; use X11 forwarding with proper authentication instead).

However, there is a text version of X-Chat, but you're not going to like it. See the X-Chat homepage.
