OS: Windows XP Pro SP2


-HOW TO CONNECT TO THE IRC SERVER-

Step One:

You need to download an IRC Client. This can be mIRC, XChat, BitchX anything you prefer. I'm not going to put how to install them or where to get them. Use Google or Yahoo to figure it out. If you truly need help let me know, and ill help you out.

Note: I will release a step by step guide for mIRC at a later date.

Step Two:

Once you have downloaded and installed your IRC Client, normally it will have you fill out basic information before connecting to any IRC server. Fill this out and hit Okay.

Step Three:

Now that you have a working IRC client. In your clients chat bar type the following information.
/server irc.ac-web.org:6667 -j #AC-Web This will connect you and join you into the AC-Web channel.

That's all you need to connect. If you for some reason need help let me know, and ill help you.

Thank You,

AC-Web Administration.

[Thorz]

Due to recent problems, we are working on setting up stable services. The server is still up, but will have no services. You are welcome to use it for anything you want.

[Thorz]

UPDATE: The server is back up.

IRC is like MSN and Aim, except all the ppl talk at the same time :/ thats the best i can explain :)

[Thorz]

It's a multi-player notepad.

[Silent-5]

Thats gay why not just use MSN

[Thorz]

I could give a shit what you think. Your not the only AC-Web member. Your not even a donater, not to mention 90% of your posts are meaningless crap. If you feel that the IRC server is pointless, then just don't use it. Don't say it's "gay". No one asked your opinion about it. Opinions and polls were done months ago, you should have said something then.

[Silent-5]

Hey i would donate if i could do 5-10$ at a time

[Elo]

lol Silent-5, dont you have other forums to spam? I got a quick question Thorz, I thought it was against Comcast ToS to use there services for any type of hosting. Servers, Websites, etc. Someone told me that a long time ago.

[Thorz]

As far as I know.. It's not allowed if it's for a business..

You agree not to use HSI for operation as an Internet service provider, a server site for ftp, telnet, rlogin, e-mail hosting, "Web hosting" or other similar applications, for any business enterprise, or as an end-point on a non-Comcast local area network or wide area network. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Comcast and its affiliates, suppliers, and agents against all claims and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of any breach of this Section including, but not limited to, any claims based on or arising out of any material violation of any applicable law.

[Silent-5]

[Jundas]

I'm sure you will all feel a sense of loss at not being able to see me not contribute anything useful to your chats.
