mawcs	Date: January 14, 2004 @ 12:57 PM Anybody that can get this to work... please help. Unless you know for sure that nobody is there I keep getting "Connection timed out" and "Connection refused"
Distilled1	Date: January 14, 2004 @ 1:01 PM nope just sent me to DMusic.com front page and a search returned none close
mawcs	Date: January 14, 2004 @ 1:05 PM uh, you did it in your browser? I think your supposed to use a chat client :00: I'm using chatzilla when I get the connection issues.
mawcs	Date: January 14, 2004 @ 1:06 PM oops, err:
Distilled1	Date: January 14, 2004 @ 1:06 PM my bad thats what I did...no sleep!
TameasDust	Date: January 14, 2004 @ 1:26 PM use MIRC or some such proggy ... it is not a web page but a chat room old style ... you know stone age stuff ... no voice no video ...
mawcs	Date: January 14, 2004 @ 1:35 PM TameasDust: I'm using a chat prog and it still isn't working. Any ideas?
fu-dog	Date: January 14, 2004 @ 2:16 PM mawcs: where are you finding the IRC link? I must have removed all the links. That server was killed off months and months ago. We've had a couple people looking to chat it up. I recommend you start a DMusic IRC channel on one of the major networks and we can have that as the "defacto" IRC channel for the site.
TameasDust	Date: January 14, 2004 @ 2:22 PM well you could move over to PalTalk which has voice and video ... but that is just my
mawcs	Date: January 14, 2004 @ 2:25 PM First: At the bottom of the shoutbox is a link to irc.dmusic.com. Second: I'm rather indifferent, just curious. I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong and missing out on all of the fun. Or if it was just a dead link.
pog	Date: March 7, 2004 @ 11:04 PM the #dmusic room is now open on the Undernet server (US)
Cryxan	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 4:14 AM ...and doesn't have anything to do with DMusic's IRC'ing. Poggy, you rock.
pog	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 7:04 AM whoah... I started the room, and someone names JohnnyBB entered. I thought cool, I'll just hang around here, everything is fine, but I don't know this guy from the i.d. On a whois, it came up with possum.epitaph.com. on top of that, I logged out and lost control of the room. excuse me while I reboot with a new I.P. and I'll find a new irc server in a few days worth mentioning...
musicpicks	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 7:06 AM Cryxan, It is better than IRC, that's like saying it has nothing to do with DMusic's morse code. Here I am suggesting something better, and get attitude. It's interesting see it when people who supposedly help run and represent a sevice talk down to its users and make them unwelcome, then insult them when they try to help. Good job Cryxan!!! ::eeping sarcasm:::
Thaspian	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 7:35 AM Yeah, because you're just spamming a dumbass gimmick instead of contributing to the topic..
TameasDust	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 7:57 AM I prefer Paltalk ... however if you have linux you will have to go IRC ... is there a linux compatible voice/text chat program that will also work with windows/xp ... this GNC chat proggy listed looks ok, but if the home page where you download GNC is any indication of the proggy it is for broadband users as it took 20 min to load the damn images of what it looks like. as for communicating with msn aim yahoo and icq ... I don't use any of them. have used MIRC and PIRCH, but that seems like stoneage compared to what is available now we need someone to write a linux/windows/xp compatible proggy with voice/text/video chat and access to many many many major servers world wide ...
TameasDust	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 8:10 AM Bummer GNC only offers voice chat in one-on-one conversations ... that sucks ... Paltalk allows you to talk to a room full of people at once ... Paltalk is like CB radio with text and video ... Paltalk is free ... you only have to pay to stop popups and if you don't have IE that don't matter anyway as all the popups are IE related ... even netscape won't accept them.
JohnnyBB	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 4:28 PM I was in there and didnt see any talking, I left mirc on when I went to bed. I dont know why my whois would be coming up as possum.epitaph.com That was Epitaph Records old chat server and I used to be a bigtime loiterer in the Bad Religion IRC channel. I've wondered why dmusic doesnt have an irc server/channel though, the shoutbox is alright, but not that great an intervace.
pog	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 5:14 PM Oh... that johnnyBB you scared me man... and then when I asked you to leave so I could start a new room and set it up properly, there was no response. I thought oh great there's this guy from a label watching our room, and probably me. Now I know it was only you... maybe your irc is set up to always connect to their servers at epitaph. bit of a worry. I'll prolly look into something again tonight when I get home. oh, and Musicpicks.... cryxan was talking to ME, not YOU.... you're not the only person in the world. No offence, but I tried your little chat prgram and I've never encountered a bigger pile of bloated lameware in my life.
pog	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 10:26 PM sorry 'bout that... my bad... you was right and I was wrong.... I think that comment was aimed at you. gcn still kinda sucked, dood... it reminds me of the peer to peer app, morpheus, after it sold out. I'm curious, is just one of the networks available on it able to connect to icq, yahoo, aol, and msn and get the contact lists, and communicate with the latest version of each protocol... I tried 2 different ones, one wouldn't connect at all, and the Jabber protocol connected to the networks, but can't seem to update contact lists.. until they do, I'm gonna stick to the original host programs, or maybe get trillian again. Maybe you can add a little insight to it.
Woof	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 10:26 PM Well, I don't use IRC unless absolutely necessary, 'cause I wind up spending the whole night chatting, and nothing else gets done, but mirc works fine for me when I need it to. One thing to be aware of, though, is that it's really easy for other users to get your IP, unless you use something like Invisible Irc. Setup requires some knowhow, though, which I've never bothered to learn, and I don't know if it's compatible with all of the available servers... might be worth considering, when deciding where to set up a channel...
pog	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 10:29 PM havn't done a double post in a while
pog	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 10:30 PM and thanks, woof.... I think I did read something about being able to do it in the mirc settings also. I'll look into it.
Woof	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 10:34 PM No prob... I'll drop in from time to time, when it gets going... just not every night...
Cryxan	Date: March 9, 2004 @ 3:55 AM "He" was indeed addressing two people in that post.
pog	Date: March 9, 2004 @ 8:16 AM the #dmusic room is now open on the Undernet server (US) ... errm... again
pog	Date: March 9, 2004 @ 8:22 AM now basically, I need to figure out how to register it, however it's not as simple as an op command... I think I need to apply for it after 10 ppl have accessed the room... and it can take up to 10 days... wow... nice service nothing like this ever happened at dmusic on a good note, I think it can be accessed from a webbrowser, so if I fail using mirc, I (or an admin) may have better luck doing it through their site.
Cryxan	Date: March 26, 2004 @ 4:46 AM Poggy, RasMasta has had it registered before, you might wanna ask him what the secret is. Also, Trillian does a fairly decent job at getting you onto IRC.
pog	Date: March 26, 2004 @ 5:09 AM that was when there was a dmusic server running... I used to admin with him at one point. I've just switched to mozilla today, so chatzilla may be an option. I just wish I had the time to set it all up properly, to be honest, it's cutting in on my free time for music. I'd install trill again if the source chat programs would stop changing, and screwing it up. Maybe it's betterer these days, but i got sick of trill, easy messenger, jabba, well, most multi chat apps tend to work for a few weeks and then the source apps change their formats for security, or whatever. It's easier to just use the icq, msn, aol, and yahoo with their own apps cos at least you can update them when the programs change.
Cryxan	Date: March 26, 2004 @ 5:30 AM Very true, though interestingly enough, IRC access has been the most consistant for me with Trill. And you know what, I didn't realize that your post was from the 9th. A phantom brought the thread to the front.
pog	Date: March 26, 2004 @ 5:31 AM ...there's witchery afoot
kyodylee	Date: March 26, 2004 @ 10:02 PM " id="93124">hmmmm. yes, something very witchy indeed. perhaps the watch has arrived since she seems to be right on time. hmmmm
