Top Reddit reviews mentioning IRC Client Apps:
Well not really, Ansible, Matrix and IRC are all not really apps, Ansible is an automation framework and Matrix and IRC are both protocols that any app can integrate with. The Matrix Gnome client is https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Fractal and there are decent looking IRC clients over the years but most are using awful stuff like XChat which looks like the screenshot on their website http://xchat.org/
Matrix is a lot more sane in their design, it's not about looks it's a lot to do with configuration and admin.
There is no paid version of HexChat. Windows Binaries can freely be downloaded at http://hexchat.github.io/downloads.html.
You might be talking about X-Chat. The source code of the Windows port of X-Chat wasn't fully released and the binary was only available as commercial product. The available source for Windows didn't include all features available in the binary version either.
HexChat is open source and portable, active development with frequent updates. Very powerful client with a large user base and thousands of scripts to extend it. Runs portable "out of the box."

There's X-Chat and several others, but really, the client-side IRC protocol hasn't changed since Windows 3.11 for workgroups was new, so you're not likely to see any major alterations to client programs - after all, the people who ~~use~~ program IRC clients aren't really concerned with aesthetics
Hello friends.
I am Soltari, currently running the irc channel for you guys. Looking forward to building a fun community on there.
If you have any issues or questions about irc, either post them here or /msg or /query Soltari on rizon.
Here is a guide on how to register your nickname on rizon. You don't have to do this of course, but if you intend to idle in the channel it is a good idea to do this.
I personally recommend hexchat if you want to use a real client, but you can of course use a webclient if you prefer that.
For now the moderators are me, BlindSeer (Random_Shitposter), _Tsukari (Kudryavka_Noumi), and Weded.
I hope to see you guys there soon!
You can use a bouncer, like znc. This sits inbetween you and the IRC server and you connect to it when you want to connect to IRC, I would not recommend using a free one, as they can see all your passwords and log every channel you're in, but you could set it up on a server if you have one

It's a great doc and I think everyone should watch it. As for the IM conversation, I think that's just for production value. But I think that they are trying to make it look like a terminal based IRC client, such as Irssi
i first heard of boids here, on the personal faq for the creator of mirc. apparently he's no longer interested, because there are no longer links for boids.
the thing i liked most was how simple the rules were, nothing telling the boids how to flock, just rules on how close they wanted to get to one another. maybe one or two others, but that was it. and it worked just like the flocks of birds you see bouncing around in fields.
Quick introguide for those unfamiliar with IRC and how to use it: The easiest way to get on IRC is to use the webchat located here: http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=globaloffensive Just type in the nickname you wish and press “Join Chat” and voila, you’re on IRC! If you rather want an actual client, mIRC (www.mirc.com) is your best bet for Windows users, Colloquy (http://colloquy.info) for Macintosh users. To join the community, do as follows First type in /nick <nickname> to set your nickname Then type /server -m irc.quakenet.org -j #globaloffensive You should now be on IRC with the rest of us, come say hi, we’re a really friendly bunch!
>IRC heavily for work
Curious. How do you make use of IRC for work? I want to do this. D:
Also, I recently bought a Mac (my first), and installed LimeChat, which I've used on both the iPad and iPhone/iPod devices. I have not given it nearly as much use yet on OSX, but I figured it is worth mentioning.
An IRC bouncer is good for this purpose. It can always stays connected to your servers, then you setup your client to connect to it. They can be configured to "play back" what happened since you left each time you reconnect.
I run ZNC on a crappy Linux box and open a port through my router to it so I can take my laptop on the go with me.
There are also hosted bouncer services if you don't want to run your own.
> everyone just downloads from websites
A popular chatting application that I use (Textual IRC) recently moved focus away from Mac App Store and back to their website. It would appear that Apple takes 10 years to approve updates/new versions, and a website takes 10 seconds to upload.

Nothing is stopping you. In fact this is exactly what XChat has done back in the day. Their Linux version was free software and free to use, while the compiled Windows version had a 30 day trial after which you had to pay. Link
From their FAQ:
> Q. Why can't XChat for Windows be free?
> A. It's free to try for the first 30 days! Developing XChat for Windows is a difficult process, it requires quite some skill and expertise to accomplish. We ask for a small fee that helps continue development and cover expenses.
A ringer is someone who plays for a team when they can't field 5 players. A scrim is the basic 5v5 format of CS:Go like classic competitive.
http://www.mirc.com/ Download this. It's a program for chat rooms. Make a nickname and join the Gamesurge server. Your gonna need to use two channels #csgoringer and #csgoscrim. The command to join a channel is /join. For example, to get into the ringer channel you would type /join #csgoringer. Join the ringer channel and either 1) look for people advertising for a ringer or 2) advertise yourself. I would write "ringer cent/east" because I live around the east coast. #csgoscrim is similar only it's players advertising for scrims. There is also the channel #csgotryout if you are looking for a team. Does that make sense? I can go into more detail if need be.

X-Chat is essentially a dead project and has not been updated in any way in four years.
Hexchat is well-maintained, adds numerous features, and is completely free on all supported platforms. There is no reason at all to ever recommend X-Chat.
>Nothing to do with pigeons!
Actually, the logo on the Pidgin chat client is a pigeon, so it's pretty easy to form a mental association of the two terms.
Not to mention, wikipedia mentions this about the etymological origin for the term pidgin.
>Another etymology that has been proposed is English pigeon, a bird sometimes used for carrying brief written messages, especially in times prior to modern telecommunications.

Even if flashs does supposedly have 3.5m ftc(which he doesn't at all), the order book can only handle 700k before it crashes lower than the price he supposedly bought for.
I'd like to suggest something like xchat instead, just because it's free and open source. There's a bunch of web clients too if you don't want to install anything.
Actually xchat is pretty shit. There are better ones out there.
IRC has long been a source for downloading all sorts of things, legal or otherwise -- it's a bit confusing to someone who doesn't understand it but the best way to describe it is a robust chat app with downloading capabilities.
FYI, best to use the forum links like:

Not unrelated at all, since I said to join it :P
http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=sdamarathon&uio=Mj10cnVlJjEwPXRydWUmMTE9NDE48, but the web client lags a lot, messages get sent in bursts. Get a client like HexChat, connect to irc.quakenet.org. (or I think QuakeNet is in the predefined list of servers)

Are you trying to join the SRL IRC? The Streams page of SRL embeds streams from Twitch. Colloquy is an IRC client.
The SRL IRC server is irc2.speedrunslive.com and the main channel is #speedrunslive. I'm not all that familiar with Colloquy so you should check out the Colloquy documentation for specific instructions on connecting to a server, or maybe someone else is more familiar with it can chime in.
Note that SRL requires you to register your username to join races. SRL's guide to registering your nick is here
Understood, sorry if I came off too strongly against the idea; if it's more "because I want to play around" I shouldn't get so "What's the point" about it. ;)
Let's see... honestly, I don't know of any really big/complex open source projects off-hand. You might try Colloquy. It's not the biggest project in the world though.
You may also have fun compiling stuff from MacPorts.
He uses Quassel for both.
Quassel has the "client" and the "core" versions so that you can put the "core" on the droplet and connect as many clients as you want to on whatever device you want. - http://quassel-irc.org/
If you want a more universal IRC Bouncer then I would suggest ZNC. - http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC
Set umode +x on connect and connect via SSL, the standard port for which is 6697. For some servers you can log in to services via the server password which is sent on-connect, so if you have a vHost via HostServ or similar it will be activated immediately as opposed to whenever you identify manually.
If you have an external server or access to a shell account which allows IRC, you can set up a BNC. A BNC basically acts as a proxy for IRC, with the added benefit of being always online, so your home (or work, or school) IP address will be hidden and instead replaced with the IP address of your server. Most BNCs will save messages for you while you are offline and can be connected to via a regular IRC client. I use ZNC, try it out.
As you're a fan of Limechat, have you tried Textual 5? Since Limechat is no longer under development, an awesome developer forked it, and made tons of improvements. It's not free, but it absolutely is worth the minimal cost.
My favorite is textual; you can try it free for 30 days: https://www.codeux.com/textual/
Otherwise if I was going for free ones I would look at limechat (app store) or irssi if I wanted a command line one.
If anyone wants to use a stand alone IRC client instead of the web interface, the server adress is
irc.snoonet.org/6667
which will connect you to the nearest freenode server on port 6667 (default port).
To join the channel, either add a start up command in the server options or type /join #trollchromosomes
I'm using XChat, but there are several other free clients available (e.g. pidgin)
If you have questions or problems just shoot me a pm.
Edit: uploaded a screenshot of the server options.
I keep misreading this a Klingon.furnet.org. Which would also be awesome.
It's not something you put into your browser, they're URLs, like websites, but instead they're for chatting.
You need an IRC client, while there are in-browser ones, i'm not sure if you can connect to networks that aren't affiliated with the service. Instead you get something like Xchat (and this guy's mIRC is another one). Which will give you a little menu that says what server you want to long onto. (in this case, irc.furnet.org) Type that in, and you should be fine from there.
7) Learn by coding, less by reading.
Trial and error has its merits. Learning to deal with problems is half of learning programming.
8) Another is to use IRC channels to get feedback and communicate with someone; just reading or having lazy programmer people throw material at you isn't going to help you a lot of the time. Go to freenode and hit channels like #python, #django, #css, #html, #rubyonrails and ask around. Xchat is a great Windows IRC client that makes it very easy to get into the groove of IRC chatting.
Use places like pastebin to share your code.
For people who like using Linux, I recommend setting up irssi and bitlbee. This will make irssi into a chat program that can access IRC, AIM, MSN, gchat (using jabber), and fbchat (using jabber) (and probably more; these are the ones I know about). You can put your irssi in a screen session on a server you can SSH into, and now you have your chat program accessible from any computer that knows how to SSH. You can customize your irssi how you like with custom scripts or themes (for IRC I recommend a nickcolor script and hilightwin.pl), and you can log everything yourself (but you'll be responsible for taking the backups), and you won't risk your IM client being bought out by another company (you might have to move machines sometimes).
I admit the phone interface is a little poor, but that's because what I use is an SSH client app, not an app specifically designed for irssi usage.
I haven't used IRC in years.
Under "File" at the top, choose "Select Server".
Hit "Add".
Under "Description" put whatever you want to.
Under "IRC Server" put "irc.freenode.org"
Port should be 6667 by default. Hit "Add".
When it's done loading and says you've connected, type "/join #pilots" and it should open a new window that takes you to the /r/flying channel.
IRC is basically the digital text version of HAM radio or CB radio. It's always present, but who is around to chat at any given moment is at their whim. And just like radio, everyone uses their own preferred method of getting into it.
The answer may surprise you.
If the entire Metaverse is free of cost, then actually, something is wrong. Horribly wrong. You can better understand this by comparing it to the Internet, and in most cases, just the Web.
- Some things are absolutely free.
- Some things are without a monetary fee but you become the product. (They make money by recording a profile of you and all your actions. They also make money by advertising to you.)
- Some things cost a monthly fee (Netflix, as an example).
- Some things charge by transaction (eBay listings, or in-game content).
- Some things are a one-time charge (purchasing a game, or a high quality chat client that runs on a standard protocol).
- There are even more ways to arrive at revenue.
So, no, interconnected content, just like the Internet today, doesn't have to be free of charge. But it is likely that the free stuff is going to be popular with many people, isn't it?

>The other finger command comes from the finger system familiar to UNIX users. On UNIX systems you can finger the address of another user to find out some more about that person. Normally this fingering will give you the persons home address, telephone number or other usefull info. This info is given to you by a central finger server and you need a finger client to get it. mIRC already has a finger -client- built in for a long time under Tools/Finger. If you specify a users address, mIRC will try to get some info on the person at the other end. The '/finger {nickname|users_address}' command is doing the same thing. (If you specify a nickname mIRC will try to find out that users address and finger it.) Mind the syntax difference from the IRC finger command !!
I just use a separate IRC client as using the Twitch chat via browser has a bad habit of dying on me, and not giving any indication it's done so. So you might be sitting there for upwards an hour thinking chat is dead, any your chat is wondering why you're ignoring them :P.
I personally use HexChat as it's simple, light, and it's very quick to reconnect if it encounters any issues. In fact I've not noticed any chat drops since I started using it. Also like most stand-alone IRC clients it gives a note when people enter and leave the chat.
>How to fix it?
You don't. You use your distro's packages.
It's just 'sudo apt update && sudo apt install pidgin -y'. You don't needa do all that by hand.
If you need version 2.16 for some reason, you need to do a recompile manually will many *-dev libraries installed. Whether it works or not is hit or miss.
Well, some apps attempt just that. Take Pidgin for PC as an example, you can easily use Facebook Messenger, Google Talk, Windows Live, Skype, Steam IM protocols etc. with it.
Joo, keskityin avoimen koodin softiin ja tosiaan semmoisiin, joita on päivitelty vuoden 2016 aikana.
Edit: Colloquy lisätty luetteloon. Mobiiliversion koodi täällä
I'm running Colloquy on Lion with no issues at all. You might want to look for help with whatever the problem was here or submit a ticket there, if you don't want to switch.
Unfortunately I'm not sure what the current good mailing lists are (I used to follow the official Apple mailing list but it ended up being far too high volume for me) but IRC could be a good way to go; the main channels, from what I remember, are ##objc and #macdev on irc.freenode.net, and for iOS specifically, #iOSdev, #iphonedev, #ipaddev. (Try this as a good, free IRC client.)
That said, if there are any questions you have, feel free to send me a PM and I'm more than happy to try and help out.
Didn't know about Textual, but DO know about LimeChat!
What a ripoff! They basically sell LimeChat, an opensource IRC client...
Get the awesome LimeChat IRC client at http://limechat.net/mac/
The bouncer is logged in as you. It acts as both a client that logs all activity (if you wish) and also an IRC server that you can connect to. Bouncers allow you to have a persistent connection even when mIRC is closed/your main computer is off, all from one nick. You can connect to it from any client you wish, even multiple at once. The logs get stored on your Pi. You can view them over SSH, copy them to your desktop with SCP, email them to yourself with a script, etc. You can also view them from within mIRC. That's actually why I use mine. I'm Op on a channel. My bouncer plays back everything that happened since I was last connected to it right I'm my chat buffer on WeeChat or my Android IRC client.
Edit for extra clarity: the bouncer needs to sit between you and the server, otherwise it couldn't capture your private messages. You can connect to the bouncer with any number of clients at any given time and the channel will only see your one nick. If you log directly into the IRC server (i.e. Freenode) then you'd have to have a second nick so they could tell you apart from the bouncer.
Another edit: link to ZNC.
IRC proxies and bouncers are nothing new. I've had ZNC running on my VPS for years. I can't possibly imagine choosing to install TapChat instead of ZNC after comparing their respective websites: the TapChat website gives you essentially no information about the software.
I'm fairly certain there was an /r/sydney IRC room for a while, but that was very very short lived.
As for people who never log out, they'd be using an IRC bouncer (I use this: http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC)
You could use a web client like qwebirc with a bouncer like znc to achieve what you're looking for, but would require you hosting it on a VPS or similar and you'd have to configure where should connect and what modules you want loaded.
Disclaimer: I only know of irccloud because of their presence on freenode, and I have never administered ZNC myself, although I have provided shells for others to do so. (I use irssi in screen and qwebirc exclusively.)
Textual. I think it's $5, but it's free if you grab it off github and compile it yourself using xcode.
https://www.codeux.com/textual/
I've used a bunch and this seems to be the cleanest, best functioning one for my needs.
True enough, especially for complex libraries. But for something that's more of a standalone product, I like the GPL as a user, since it guarantees that—somewhere down the line—software I like won't be abandoned, with the the most active fork being commercialized and closed source.
While I'm not going around running a 100% FOSS system or anything extreme like that (so far, anyway...I'm mostly on OS X for the time being), I have made a conscious decision to favor software that does have the guarantee that that GPL provides to the end user.
Text editors are the big category I'm working on a little at the time, slowly trying to become more and more proficient at vim (which I use over ssh a lot, anyway) to eventually replace my use of Sublime Text. Given the investment one has in a text editor, it makes sense to choose one that's not going to have a high risk of vanishing one day. (Sadly, there isn't a Free IRC client I like nearly as much as Textual. Which is a very strange one, since it's completely commercial...but it's technically a fork of Limechat from when it was BSD licensed. And they put the source for the app online, allowing you to build it but asking you not to distribute builds.)
XChat is an example of an attempt to distribute software that is libre and free of cost and ended up failing and hence now being proprietary. The source code for versions of XChat after August 2004 is no longer available and versions of XChat prior to August 2004 (which are libre) are free of charge.
For more information refer to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XChat#Licensing
In fact XChat is a good example to support my position because my whole position is that being libre implies being gratis.
If you grant permission to people to redistribute your software free of cost, then you are in effect making your software free of cost. The only actual distinction between software that is free of cost and software that is libre is philosophical in nature, as the author of XChat learned the hard way.
I do exactly this with Irssi on a Linux box. You can setup an irssi-proxy which would always be connected to the networks and channels of your choosing, then you can connect to that proxy from any computer using any client you want, simultaneously even.
Ok I've started idling in #iptvGTA on EFnet; no eggdrop bots or anything setup as of yet, but that can come later if we choose.
To help celebrate the start of the channel, I'm giving away three 1-week accounts to IPTVExpress that my reseller has available thanks to the recent "downtime credits". The first three users to join the channel that want a week's access to Express just need to join the channel and make the request in the channel. First come first serve, and sorry I only have 3 available. The accounts have an expiry date of May 7th, so the sooner you join the channel the better!
If you've never used IRC before, the easiest way to join is to connect via this web chat link: http://chat.efnet.org:9090/ ( enter your desired nickname and for channel enter #iptvgta )
If you prefer a local client, one of the easiest programs to use is "mIRC" available here: http://www.mirc.com/ Simply install the client, and join an "EFnet server". Once connected to the server a channel list should appear, where you can just type in #iptvgta and join our channel. Any questions or issues just ask in this thread.
As I recall, my first modem was a 2400. Then we got a 14.4 and I felt like the goddamn king of Usenet and IRC.
Sidenote, I just checked and mIRC is still being developed!
Hey Decoy!

What I did was use a IRC client called mIRC. mIRC has its own scripting language that lets you create custom commands quite easily. There are a lot of very detailed mIRC Scripting tutorials, as its has been around for a LONG time.
It's much easier than coding a custom bot from scratch. You can download mIRC here: http://www.mirc.com/
Let me know if you need any help :)
As a sidenote, I heard there was some interest in having live chat. While I'm afraid that isn't possible on actual reddit without hacking the site somehow, does anyone have any opinions on IRC? It's not particularly complicated and we could probably get a server for that going easily enough.
Huh, weird...clear your cache, or try a different browser, or use a standalone IRC client like mIRC. Connect to server irc.kiwiirc.com, port 6667, channel #periwinkle or ##orangered
Posting instructions for connecting to the chat room by way or mIRC client. It's much nicer than using the web based client.
- Download mIRC and install.
- Open mIRC. Enter your desired nickname and/or alternative nick in case yours is taken.
- Click on "Servers" in the left hand pane, scroll down to Freenode, and then double click on "random server" underneath.
- Click on connect, and when the channel join box comes up, type in ##rpennystockwatch and join.
That's it.

programming this as a script in mIRC wouldn't be hard, on the remote tab it would be something like this:
on :text::#yourchannel: { /speak $nick says $1- }
this should fire any time someone speak in the channel saying "Suchandsuch says message here"
I can't remember if mIRC ever built in a TTS function or not, but yeah.. easy way to try is to load it up, get on a server and just type /speak test message blahblahblah
The only problem I can see with this is that since the audio is more than likely going to be playing back on the default audio device, that OBS or xSPLIT will pick it up and send it to the stream, and the viewers will hear it as well.
Download and install mIRC .
Select a server from the freenode servers list
Once you are connected to freenode server type /join #sportsbook
I didn't mean to seem caustic on the question phrasing thing, just pointing it out.
The nice thing about IRC is you can join all of the giveaway channels - OH #duckpond is renown - it's probably the best. Just mind your attitude and don't let anyone piss you off, and don't get kickbanned. It's a sweet way to make some money, especially if you've got the opportunity to chill in the channel all day.
I recommend using mIRC to access Torn's IRC, you can set mIRC to notify you when certain keywords are mentioned so you'll never miss a giveaway or lottery. Although mIRC supports some pretty advanced scripting and will give you an unfair advantage in the giveaways (if so inclined), I strongly discourage you from doing it, even if you are diligent in avoiding detection. Took me six months to be unbanned once caught.
As for which to do first, it sounds like you're working on getting some income vs trying to get gym gains. There are only two benefits from having a PI and (1) is the happy, and (2) is the airfield (if so equipped). So imho, go for your money first. You largely don't even have to bother with playing TC while you sit in IRC and collect the cash (or items).
Consider spending some merits to get a bazaar - the cost of points will invariably inflate (as they already have with the expansion of the points market cap) and the value of a bazaar never decreases especially since they're tied into the actual item market now. He who has the lowest priced item in their bazaar commands the prime spot (far left) in the item market and usually sells first.
As for finding a spouse, it is hardly worth the headache. You'll connect with someone when the time is right. Just make friends in TC and you'll do exceedingly well.
step 1) download mirc -> http://www.mirc.com step 2) join server irc.tribalwar.com port 6667 step 3) once joined type /nick yourhandle to chane your name step 4) then type /join #ascend step 5) profit
You could always try the qwebirc alternative
irc2go is just the interface. The qwebirc is definitely a lot cleaner.
edit: Actually the best thing to do is install your own IRC client like mIRC and then direct it to irc.freenode.org #MechanicAdvice
IRC is Internet Relay Chat. It is like an instant messenger where anyone can join your 'Chat'. You need an IRC Client to get connected. Like this one here. In IRC there are servers and channels. Each server holds multiple channels. So it will come up asking you to choose a nickname and a server. Then once you have joined the server type '/join #yourchannelnamehere'.
Further help here
Good Luck!
The IRC server I figured we'd use is reddit's, If you don't have mIRC, it's a free chat client that's been around since the early internet days. Once thats done you connent via
/server irc.freenode.net
and do /join #40krpg
Already made a channel and everything so perhaps sometime end of this week we can meet up and see who will be actually playing, I'm thinking tomorrow 7pm EST should be sufficient if its not a good date for you let me know.
> How exactly does the whole Bitcoin setup work?
Could be the most broad and unspecific question ever asked... what specifically are you confused about?
> How do I get Bitcoins? They said something about a 'mining pool', that's all I understood.
You either buy them, mine them, or trade goods/services for them. The easiest way is to buy them, unless you have a desktop sitting around with a powerful graphics card - then you can try your luck at mining. Mining in a pool will give you much more consistent payouts than mining solo.
> And, um, I know that I can contact other interested parties via IRC, and I have a serviceable idea of what it is, but...I don't exactly know how to access it. Stop laughing! I'm largely self-taught!
If you're looking to trade for BTC join irc.freenode.net, #bitcoin-otc (this information is also in the sidebar to the right ---> )
> What the hell is a block?
Basically, blocks store the data of every BTC transaction that occurs across the entire network. The block chain is shared and downloaded by everyone on the network so that transactions can be trusted and verified as legitimate. It's a secure, distributed way to keep track of every bitcoin ever made and at the same time provides work for miners to do (generating the next block) in exchange for coins. This is how I understand it, at least.
I started computer programming when I was 11. First messing around with qbasic(very simple stuff in qbasic at that) then later messing with mIRC scripting. Even made a fancy video player for mIRC.
I got my first job working with PHP through a friend of mine, they hired me on at their company to do tech support, and knew I was trying to learn PHP. My job quickly was rolled into a developer position, and I stayed with that company for about 4 years, effectively launching my career.
Now at 27 years old, I am a full time free lance web developer, and have been doing web dev work for over 7 years now on a full time basis. I've been freelance for the last 1 and a half years. I also volunteer with an open source PHP framework, which in turn helps me get clients who have sites built using said framework. Free lancing has by far been the most successful part for me, and having my own business is one of those things I'm proud of.
bt btw, the original channel became a bad place. It is time to reboot. Not sure why they care, but the old moderators are trying to start some sort of grudge match.
As far as I'm concerned, join whichever channel you think will be the best fit. I created #rSeattle to be a welcoming place for new people. But if you try out one of the others, I won't be mad. Hell, join all 3! I didn't even know a third one existed...
Also, MIRC is old and outdated. http://hexchat.github.io/ is the new hotness.
Mighty Text + Pidgin does the same thing. Pidgin is exceptional. You can have every chat through your PC through one program in one place (Hangouts, Text Messages, Steam, AIM (if you still use it), Facebook, whatever chat program).
Pidgin: https://www.pidgin.im/
Mighty Text plugin: https://code.google.com/p/pidgin-mightytext/
Pushbullet is pretty rad for moving files though.
Sure, here it is, but looking at its page, I think it died. Pidgin, however, is well alive - for example, I am using it right now for WhatsApp and Skype. The problem is, the real solutions to this problem include reverse engineering, i.e., in order to use the protocol according to your needs and convenience, you have to jump over multiple obstacles put by the original manufacturer - all of them try their best to make their service the most limiting and least convenient possible in order to create their "walled garden". For example, WhatsApp requires a working connection on a working smartphone in order to be used on the computer, and the "official" way to do it is use a Web page, where chat history, downloaded files etc are not saved, so people have to reverse-engineer the protocol to make it work more-or-less normally.
As long as there were published protocols/APIs and you could connect to the messaging service independently of all the cruft, you could have universal clients. When the world was a little simpler, I was a big fan of. https://www.pidgin.im/
I'm not sure either. I did a bit of Googling and I think this could work. Take the output from the script I pasted above and link it to this script to get that text into Colloquy:
tell application "Colloquy" tell active panel of front window send message "hello world" end tell end tell
Edit: More here: http://colloquy.info/project/wiki/Documentation/AppleScripting
you most likely came from Windows/Linux because you replaced stock Apple applications such as Safari and Mail.app with Chrome and Thunderbird.
You may also simply want to have a solid UNIX based machine on which you can find your familiar tools and programs as you would be used to with I assume Linux. I would peg you as a software developer/web developer with graphics on the side (Adobe products in menu bar), needing Virtual Box, some virtualisation software to do testing of websites in various different browsers.
Your use of Xchat instead of Colloquy shows you have a love for using software on OS X that was written for Linux, it doesn't really fit in with the Apple environment and stands out like a sore thumb. You have some mild OCD and require everything to be categorised into folders, and you hate having stuff hidden from you by the OS.
-Leagues
-Prizes(donations and prize giving)
-Categorize and group by genre as well as individual game
-Integrated IRC client (most tournaments use irc for organisation in the ArenaFPS scene) http://limechat.net/mac/
-Integrated Twitch of the streamer
-Player/Organiser Social media-esqe pages with detailed info about their win/loss for each tournament they participated in and prizes. --Integration with API of the game to pull in that players results for the games played in the tournament + general player profile/stats for each game.
Do all that very well and you could build a business model that takes 5-10% from prize fund for each tournament and has premium features for a subscription (player profiles).
I use mine for a variety of silly things, but primarily as an IRC bouncer.
Basically my server connects to my IRC servers and channels of choice, and then I can connect to my server with as many clients (within reason) as I want and do everything from the same nick. Also, it logs everything.
But my true motive was to always win at IdleRPG.
Yea that sucks, you'll have to just re-queue if you DC or you could always setup an irc bouncer such as ZNC which will keep you online even if you disconnect. Mods are usually busy so while they might be online they are probably doing something else.
If you have access to an always-on server (such as an internet-connected computer at home), you can setup an IRC bouncer.
A bouncer sits between you and a given IRC server. The bouncer will keep you connected to one or more servers/channels, and will log messages while you are not connected to the bouncer. You can then connect to the bouncer from any device, see any messages that you missed, and continue to use IRC as normal.
I personally use ZNC.
If I look at http://wiki.znc.in/File:Webadmin-settings-dark-clouds.png from http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC I see that the servers listed in ZNC's network interface, allow for a password to be specified after ther server's host and port.
So quassel-irc is like ZNC but then you are forced to use their client?
If that is right, I would recommend ZNC, does about the same thing (being a IRC bouncer) and thus staying connected while you are gone and when you connect using your favorite IRC client to ZNC you get to see the previously received messages (as many as you like). Also allows you to connect from multiple locations (desktop/laptop/phone) at the same time while only having one nick in the channel.
It should also be possible to receive notifications when you are mentioned but not connected, but I have no experience on that part.
A bouncer basically works as both a client and a server. You need a place, such as a VPS, to run your bouncer from. It connects to the server as a client, and you connect to the bouncer as a server. It sits in the channels all day so you don't have to. You will be able to appear online and will be able to read a playblack of what happened in the channel after your return to the channel.
I use a bouncer called ZNC, the docs there are meh, but it's possible to get it working from. You will connect to the server via your bouncer as an IRC server.
PSA: Textual has a 30-day trial license if you just have to kick the tires before plunking down your US$5.99.
Thanks to /u/macontrack and /u/pfg1 for pointing it out. I'd been using Colloquy for the last 5-6 years. I suspect it'll no longer be on my system in a month's time. 😀
>Everything else in this post is an apologist attempt to pretend Slack's UX isn't vastly superior.
The UX of IRC depends on what client you use. I use Textual on OS X and Mobile Colloquy on iOS. Both of them work pretty nicely.
>Seriously, has anyone, ever, in the history of IRC, successfully transferred a file?
There was problems back in the day before UPnP/IGD existed but with modern clients DCC SEND should work out of the box without any configuration.
I'd love to contribute to narwhal, so I too would love to see it go open source (not necessarily free, but open source).
I understand this would be a huge decision and I would not expect the devs to do it, but oh well.
There is some precedent for paid open source apps on iOS and OSX. Textual, for example, is an IRC client for OSX available on GitHub under a quite permissive (basically you have to give attribution if you use parts of the source) license. And I am sure there are more paid and open source apps.
So this might be a possibility, but like I said, this is a big decision and I don't expect this will happen.

Available to help me hatch a 5iv adamant karrablast for me? (2,4 is for my reference)
yeah it still works, well at least I s till use it, fastest download out there. My favourite tracker ixirc.com is not working anymore for a couple of months now - just google alternative XDCC search engines, and you're back in no time. Biggest networks for movies and stuff used to be Abjects with their Moviegods channel, all have bots for search directly within the channel... try, experiment.
Hmm, the date is only one week off of this page: https://web.archive.org/web/20040823203741/http://xchat.org/windows/
Admittedly I don't know the exact date it released. Eitherway the point about different features is still true.
