Hi everyone :)

I'm more or less retired, but I'm still on the IRC channel #modcraft almost all the time.
I'm posting now because I see some people trying to use the chan like the shoutbox, whereas both don't socially work the same way.

On the shoutbox, you would post something like "hey I have this problem can you help me ?", close your forum tab, come back later and read the answer.

On IRC, you will probably end frustrated doing this. Some people connect for a minute, they ask "can you help me ?", "hey I have this problem what do I do ?", "anyone here ?", or even /msg someone, and then disconnect a few minutes after.

How can we have a chance to answer if you're disconnected ? Most of the time people in the chan are not even in front of their keyboard, so of course no one answers quickly (we're not a support hotline xD).
IRC is more about chatting, being idle and say something from time to time. The whole point lies in the time you're being connected. The longer you stay, the longer you try to get along with people in there, the more you'll get answers and participate to the community.

The chan is also what you'll make of it. The more people connected, the more lively :)

On technical aspects, you can use the direct link to the webchat on the forum main page to join, or get a client on your computer or even phone/tablet ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... at_clients ).

If you want to be "authed" (= identified) on Quakenet, you can follow this :
