The other day, I had dragged Vixenmage and Dreaming of Roses into a mini PPC chat of three over AIM. This was quite fun and resulted in moments of humor and there was agreement that with more Boarders it could be quite fun and insane and there was brief, brief mourning for the old chatroom which generally goes quite unused. (After that we became distracted at groaning at a hilarious badfic.)


In short, because of that, I propose a new chatroom over IRC!

IRC, if you do not know, stands for Internet Relay Chat. It is very simple (really).

IRC has the advantage over the old chatroom in that you do not drop if you idle too long, you usually can copy paste, and it even parses URL links so that you can click on them.

The channel (chatrom) is #PPC (the # is required) on sever irc.blizted.org. If you use Pidgin or Trillian, you can add the server and that channel on through your account options.

There are also a variety of downloadable clients such as mIRC, Icechat, and chatzilla, to name but a few.

You can also use Mibbit, click "Mibbit Webchat", click 'Server' next to the IRC drop down menu and enter "irc.blizted.org" for server address, your username/handle for Nick, and #PPC for the channel and then hit "Go".

Alternately, you have the option of clicking here instead if the above portion just confuses and or frightens you.

So let's see if this works. :)
