Build it and They Will Come...So Come Already.
Draconis The Lord Dragon
Hail Brothers and Sisters,
You all started asking for an IRC channel and someone has built one. Now
lets make sure it is not done in vain and show some interest. After all
if the dragon keeping it going thinks nodragon wants to come around he
may close it up. For any who did not see the other posting, the channel
is: #afd.
My Breath is Fire.
My Blood is Water.
My Strength comes from the Earth.
I Ride the Wind.
The Dragon searches for his Phoenix.
Draconnis The Lord Dragon.

Actually, Skant and Dragoneyes have stopped by the DALnet side..it's a
start, if nothing else. :) I'm in there, so stop by and say hi...
type 'irc <your.name> irc.dal.net:70000'
or
'telnet telnet.dal.net 12345'
Then, type /join #afd
and start talking. :)
P.S.: I think it's safe to flame again....*pats his now-back-to-normal-size-

What is an IRC? And how does one use #afd? This dragon is
appearing computer illiterate, but would like to learn.
Targen bless!

Ack! Hmm. *thinks* Are you running this under a terminal program? If so,
try changing the terminal emulation..if it's set for ANSI, try putting
it to VT-100 or VT-102. Vice versa if it's set for VT-100 or VT-102.
That's the only thing I can think of so far...is there any chance you can
send me a screen dump of what happens...maybe capture it to a file and mail
it to me, or something?
This shouldn't happen with *too* many people, but the problem does crop up
every now and then...Good luck with it, and hope to see you there soon..

(more or less) real time by typing. It's sort of like the 'talk' program
in Unix, but IRC allows many more people to talk at the same time.
#afd is a "channel" on IRC. If you think of IRC as the phone system, you
can think of "channels" as party lines, or conference calls: a bunch of
people connect to the channel, and everything they say gets sent to the
other people on the channel. It's really pretty cool. :)
And in order to get to this, you've got two things you can do. From
your unix prompt, you can try typing "irc Kiaran irc.dal.net:7000".
Then, if that works, when it's done spitting stuff at you, you type
'/join #afd', and start typing if someone's there. To get out of it, you
type '/quit'.
If that doesn't work, you probably don't have an IRC client. Not to
worry, you can still get there. Type 'telnet telnet.dal.net 12345' at
the prompt, and you'll get to a telnet-IRC-client. This will let you
use the same commands as above, with one addition: type '/nick Kiaran'
to change your name to that, then type '/join #afd' to get to #afd.
Good luck, and let me know if you have any further problems..I'm hoping
*all* of us on the 'Group can get on at one time or another, so we can
at least meet a few of each other, if not all of each other. :)

Hmm..I would say around 7-9 PM PST, or (yack!) 3 to 5 AM GMT. People stop
by during the day as well, though..I saw that Drax and Whelp had stopped by
at around noon or 1:PM, or 8: or 9: PM your time.

I will usually be on between 10 pm and midnight PST, which is 7-9 am GMT
(I think).
