Ice_Black Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Let's build UnRAID community on freenode IRC Join #UnRAID channel on freenode IRC - Network: freenode - Server: chat.freenode.org - Ports: 6667 - Channel: #unraid Quote Link to comment
lainie Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 There used to be an IRC channel for unRAID (on another network server), but it was closed because not enough people visited or participated. http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/IRC_Channel http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2045.0 Quote Link to comment
Ice_Black Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 freenode.net would be better network - there is a lot of popular channels such as #pfsense #vmware and so on. Quote Link to comment
NAS Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I created and lurked on freenode for months. Perhaps talked to one person once. Quote Link to comment

JonathanM Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 While a few of us are extremely "chatty" on the forum, I suspect most people here are not the IRC instant message type crowd. I know for me personally there is nothing I need to say here that I don't want to post on the forum, and I don't have time to just "hang out". Quote Link to comment
mrow Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Haven't been on IRC in probably over 10 years. Maybe I'll have to install a client and check it out. Quote Link to comment
lainie Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Will need whoever has ops on the channel to be around... or else will end up with some troll in the channel driving people away. Idling there for now. Not always around, but will hang out for a bit to see if I can help. Quote Link to comment
WeeboTech Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I suppose if it were sanctioned by Tom with a link at top, it would be more popular. I used the IRC client that came with mozilla allot. (chatzilla). I Had installed a PHP IRC client once too. It was pretty neat. If someone could create an IRC PHP browser based plugin that worked with unRAID, I bet it would be more popular. What's good about an IRC channel is immediate support of questions. What is bad about it, the question and answer would be be archived on the forum. People looking to resolve a problem that someone else had encountered would not find it on the forum. Quote Link to comment
Ice_Black Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 I use mIRC client - you can download from http://www.mirc.com Once you have installed, just connect to chat.freenode.net server then join #Unraid Quote Link to comment
lainie Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Looks like Freenode has a web based IRC page where you can chat on freenode channels: http://webchat.freenode.net/ Just tested it out. Set nick as you like, channel to #unraid & enter the hard to read captcha (had to reload the captcha 3 times to get one I could read). Quote Link to comment
lainie Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I have quassel-core installed on my Raspberry Pi & use quassel client on my Windows system to connect to it. Gives me a similar connection to bnc/znc (always on). Tested that the web client works to connect to the unraid channel... & Ice has ops. So maybe more will join. Quote Link to comment

Idling there for now. Not always around, but will hang out for a bit to see if I can help. Someone with a VPS could setup an eggdrop. Quote Link to comment

lainie Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 An easier to use web irc client is Kiwi IRC. No captcha required & can connect to multiple IRC servers. Quote Link to comment
lainie Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Another web IRC client is http://octochat.net/ Quote Link to comment
nicinabox Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 With 100+ members active on the forum at any given time, I wish more people would join in the IRC channel Quote Link to comment
Ice_Black Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 12 users on #unraid pretty good and growing slowly. Quote Link to comment
