#wipeoutzone IRC

[orgy]

i never used it, but i don't think so!

[zerojay]

I'll be back in the IRC room once I'm back from vacation.

[DjManiac21]

I think it's a good idea this chat thing.

But why don't people use it only when they play online?

I only log in when I go online and find several pilots connected and hardly ever I get a response, probably they been connected for hours and are there just idle...

I'm not bitching though but I personally preffer msn because of this...

[zargz]

agree on that dj

the thing is, that most people don't have that much time to be on their computers all day long. im logged in almost all day even if im not there, so that i can read what people have been written later on. there is also a possibility to set yourself on "away" status, so that you can see whos there and who is not using the "/away <reason>" command.
irc itself just works totally different from msn and other im systems. ive been in channels for years now where only a few words have been said .

Idling is what people DO on IRC.

[shunjalo]

do I need to register on the add ons site to use chatzilla?

A little late reply, perhaps, but no, you do not have to register for anything. It's an extension, and, when installed (like any Firefox extension), loads in a new window (when needed).

[zargz]

it's not late. thank you!

I leave my IRC on 24/7 so I can see who and when people were racing while I'm not at the PC

[NeXaR_QroN]

I have a problem. When I attempt to connect it throws me this message:

As a preventative measure against abuse, all users from *.rima-tde.net are now required to run ident (and have port 113 open). This is due to an increased amount of abuse from this host.

So, I need to run this "ident" thing. I haven't logged on IRC for ages, can anyone help me?

[orgy]

you could try to connect to another quakenet server, or actually install ident and forward that port, but i cant imagine its necessary.

btw: weve just reached a new user peak this evening: _14_ people online at the same time in the channel

[NeXaR_QroN]

Just opening port 113 allowed me to connect.

This issue seems related to massive attacks on quakenet using proxys of my ISP. Damn those ****ing counter-strikers (sorry if any of you play it, it's not the game, but the mentality of the 99% of it's gamers what get on my nerves)

[rdmx]

I don't see how counter strike is at all connected to this?

[phl0w]

Because those Counter-Strikers are a bunch of script-kiddies spreading Trojans through mIRC, that's how...

Btw, I was in the channel but nobody seemed to be racing, and now I'm off to bed.

[Rush25]

i get this message when i try to log on:

No hosts from Asia-pacific on this server, thanks..

[ERROR] Closing Link: Rush25 by port80b.se.quakenet.org (K-lined)

whyyyy?

i was able to enter the zone channel once but every succeeding time i tried i got this message! i know it's probably because of my server location but why was i able to login that first time?

[omega329]

I'm not getting any messages sent back for some reason....
connection is fine and all that, i can see who is online but no response form anyone....

[Rapier Racer]

A lot of the people in there are just logged in and must go away or something, most say nothing, pointless being in there to say the least.

[QirexAAX]

That's been my experience also. Occasionally one person will be active and then it just creates an awkward situation where you both have to uphold unnecessary conversation or risk reverting to the usual silence.

[orgy]

the average amount of people in that channel is 10.
do you think theyre on their computers _all_ the time?
the second problem is that were living in different time zones. ive often had some nice chats with ash-omen, swift and supersox. if more peopl would stay there for more than a few minutes it would be more interesting, i still hate racing people without being able to talk to them in between.

Topic: * L (TheLBot@lightweight.quakenet.org) has left #wipeoutzone (Channel expired, unused for 44 days.)
