MacRumors IRC Chatroom

IRC Network: irc.newnet.net
channel: #macrumors

The MacRumors IRC channel will be around primarily for the Keynote event. People can watch the stream, chat and post news as it is streamed live. This should provide a bit more interactive medium and can provide up to the second updates for those without a stream.

As well, it will hopefully prevent the inevitable reload madness that can cause insane server loads.

What do I have to download to use this??

[Megaquad]

u must download ircle or snak (they are best)
www.ircle.com or www.snak.com (i think)

[Wes]

I've downloaded snak and ircle, and both can no longer connect to irc.newnet.net but do connect to other servers, for a short while snak worked but now it doesn't. I thought it could be a problem with snak but now ircle doesn't connect either. Why?!??

[Wes]

Ignore that message in a few mins after and with a few tries it then connected, sorry

[SilvorX]

good idea to put the announcement of the room on the main page :)

if you can't connect... try again... sometimes the servers refuse you.

I was chatting fine last night on the #macrumors channel but when I try to log on today I got refused connection due to no Ident response.

I am using Airport Base Station to DSL so I configure port forwarding for port 113 (IDENT). Still failed to connect as the port was reported closed. No firewall was running so what am I missing?

Thanks,
CZ

Is there a PC version of any of these as I am at work?
