This is the obligatory notice that a secondlife IRC channel exists on EFnet (IRC stands for internet relay chat, and essentially is just that.) -

The channel is #secondlife, and is located on irc.efnet.net

You can use a few ways to connect; the best method generally is downloading a client onto your computer, there are a few availible, I've listed them below. Another popular option is to connect via the web. You can use http://chat.efnet.org to connect in from a webbrowser.

Popular IRC clients:
XChat - www.xchat.org (Windows, Mac & Linux)
mIRC - www.mirc.co.uk (Windows)

You can also use GAIM or Trillian to connect in.

There's usually about 50 or so people at any one time (downtime tends to attract a few more) , including a few resident lindens.

Alternatively you can still play SL, check out the new functionality, and join the other 50 or so people in SecondLife right now:

http://secondlife.com/downloads/preview.php

This may not work if you have a relatively new account, but give it a shot.

I've just checked out this so called IRC channel, and though I should warn everyone:

Beware! The Feted Inner Core may be recruiting through this #secondlife channel!

We stopped recruiting after someone let Willow Zander in. :eek:

BTW, there is a web based Java client for accessing the #secondlife channel here:

This is where you can come to plot against me -- oh, and when the game is down, pick up tidbits as well.

I don't think it is, at least, it doesn't have a TOS like LL.

And it doesn't have little red buttons to push Aimee so you and your friends may be disappointed at the inability to report posts you don't like.

Hmmm, is the preview grid down or something? It keeps asking me to download a new version every time I try to access it.

funny how "paranoia" and "asshole" seem to go together sometimes. like peanut butter n chocolate.

maybe i'll give that 75 back to you to neg rate me after all. Ya try to be reasonable to the beast, but the beast always rears its ugly head.


Forseti, was this lurid post directed at *moi*?

The IRC channel is filled constantly with people bitching about me and trying to get me banned. Go over and see, geez, everybody knows that. That isn't paranoia, it's just reporting. Should I send you some transcripts lol?

But see, Forseti, as an honourable person, who loathes little weenie fanboyz and informers, I don't push the little red button on you. I could shriek "oh, personal attack" and get the Lindens hustling out there. But why waste their time? They're busy fixing the game. I don't want this helpful thread with the secret IRC address only know to a few inner core to be sunk and closed over Forseti's personal attack on me.

lol jeska is welcome to chide me (or whatever she pleases) for losing my temper. Suppose I should be gracious and go edit it. But I have your number, whatever delusions of nobility and/or martyrdom you are under.

In the meantime, I've never really used IRC, but i appreciate this thread making sure everyone is aware of it.

thanks all

You see, our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. And whereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in chartered accountancy they are a positive boon.
