Hey mate, the live APS chat is pretty much dead, no-one uses it anymore, but, you can go into APS chat, and type /thesnakepit and click enter and that will take you to another room, this is where most people from APS hang out now, it's usually busier after 6 or 7, just depends on who's in.

shellshock, the live chat module no longer seems to be available. If you want to chat, you will need to download mIRC and install.

http://www.mirc.com/get.html

Once installed, join the ausirc server and choose the room you want to chat in.

Yeap, forget the live chat link as it isn't working, download mirc (download address in my post above), install it, then connect to the ausirc.com.au network. Once there you can choose the channel you want to join.

have you downloaded mirc chat engine yet?

if not, download it from www.mirc.com

press connect in the tool bar, and then enter #thesnakepit as a channel.

 

[bimbo]

yeah i have it already.
how do i connect to the ausirc.com.au network?

 

[Wrasse]

open mIRC, file> select server> Category> Connect.

fill in your name and a fake email address, then choose a nick and an alternative nick.

then

Connect> Servers

click Add and under description, give the connection a name, "Herpchat' for example, in IRC Server put ausirc.com.au ignore Port and Group and click add again.

then

Connect> Servers

goto IRC Server and drop the arrow until you find 'Herpchat' (or whatever name you chose), should be right at the bottom, select that server, then click 'Connect to Server'

You will see the connection being made in the status window, when everything stabilses, in the entry box at the bottom of that window, type /join #<insert your channel of choice here>

Happy Chatting

click Add and under description, give the connection a name, "Herpchat' for example, in IRC Server put ausirc.com.au ignore Port and Group and click add again.

I think you'll find it's actually au.ausirc.net or irc.ausirc.net on port 6667 - hate to correct a fellow nerd though just don't want the guys to not be able to connect still

 

[Wrasse]

I stand corrected.

 

[bimbo]

cheers
