IRC Channel for Java-Gaming.org

Hello everybody!

This is an announcement to hopefully make more people aware of our very own IRC channel for JGO, appropriately called #java-gaming on the Freenode server.

If you don’t know what IRC is: it stands for Internet Relay Chat and works by having chat “channels” on a server. On public servers such as Freenode, no registration is needed, except for choosing a username to be known by. You connect to an IRC server by using an IRC client that you download but there are also web clients.

Here’s a link to the Freenode web client. If you want to stay with us long-term, I highly recommend using a good desktop client, such as Hexchat (my favorite), Pidgin, irssi, and countless more! There’s even Android clients such as Andchat!

See you there!

A not-quite-live stream has been added to the JGO homepage, in an effort to draw in more people to this questionable effort.

I was looking for it everywhere on the homepage before scrolling down and then being incredibly surprised. This is pretty cool, nice one!

#4

Have you considered https://slack.com/? A lot more user friendly and completely compatible with old IRC nerd tools.

@jonjava: We usually branch off into PM or different channels or whatever anyways when it comes to conversations with purpose.
This channel is mainly about chitchat about different (or no) topics and sometimes a quick question somebody asks, so there is probably no use for that…
