#elftown @ irc.esper.net


Welcome everybody!


What is Elfchat?
Elfchat is a place for Elftowners to have a chat. This here Elfchat wikipage is just an information page.
If you want to chat on a wikipage right now, head to Now.

How do I get there?
Well, there are two options.
You can use the Java applet at <URL:http://elftown.eu/_IRC> to connect to the chat channel, or you can use the Mibbit IRC widget.
Or, you can install a IRC client yourself. See Elfchat Technical Information.

What do I do there?
You can say hello, ask people to comment on your art and talk about the weather in Popolopia and [Isilando]'s beard.

It seems awfully quiet.
Elfchatters are from all over the world. It could be that some of the people in the room are sleeping at the moment, or just busy. Sometimes you get a reply within minutes, and sometimes everybody sleeps for half a day.
Think of Elfchat as faster than a forum and slower than MSN.

So that's it?
Yep, pretty much. But please keep reading for more details.

How to get to Elfchat


The easy way:
1) Read the rest of the pages and come back later, it will help you.
2) Click here: <URL:http://elftown.eu/_IRC> (or here: Mibbit IRC widget). This will run a java applet. Click "run" if it asks what to do.
3) Change your nickname. You can do so in the lower right box.
4) Say something nice and wait or go do something else until you get a reply.

The better way:
1) Get an IRC client.
2) Connect to irc.esper.net.
3) Join #Elftown.
These steps are detailed in Elfchat Technical Information.

Remember behaviour


* Don't be an asshole.
* Use your best English.
* Be patient.

Assholes usually flood the channel (typing nonsense in order to make it more difficult for the rest to communicate), keep repeating things, tire others with private messages about their personal websites, write with irritating colours in order again to make communicating difficult, beg for ops etc.
People who act this way will be banned from the channel until they decide to behave.

You should not come to show off how much you can abuse the English language or insulting people. We recommend that you leave the abbreviations and bad grammar to the ones who wish to solve riddles; we want to talk, not to decrypt your messages. We won't lynch you if English is not your mother tongue or you have problems with spelling, but you should at least try to write understandably. It is OK, we all make typos. It's just that you just shouldn't be typing with your butt.

Speaking of typos, some of us are spelling nazis. Do not feel attacked or offended when someone corrects your little (or big) errors. It happens often, you should only learn from it. :)

2003-12-10 [Calico Tiger]: [Isilando] is going to update this in the instructions, but in the meantime, for the people in the US, type /server irc.us.azzurra.org instead of /server irc.azzurra.org

2003-12-10 [Athene Noctua]: Ohhhhhh...yay for Hedda! *bows* Wonderful.

2003-12-10 [Gone123456789]: i am utterly, utterly confused

2003-12-10 [Nita]: Why? :)

2003-12-10 [lil funky squirrel]: Cheggs!!!!!!!!.....................Where is the chat?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

2003-12-10 [Calico Tiger]: Read the directions on this page on what to do.

2003-12-10 [Athene Noctua]: I keep getting a message that my email is not valid

2003-12-10 [TheRogue]: they don't do this for macintosh! ::cries::

2003-12-10 [Myoko]: hi

2003-12-10 [sdfjskld]: What in the hell?

2003-12-10 [sdfjskld]: WHER E IS OUR OLD CHAT!

2003-12-10 [Calico Tiger]: Bah! Don't use a Mac! *whaps GreyFox with a mitten*

2003-12-11 [brutalbarbie_x]: ok y did this happen this is so confusing that is what i need more confusion

2003-12-11 [Calico Tiger]: Think of all the times the people in the chat have come complaining about someone taking over the chat room, messing it up, harassing people, etc... This new one can be regulated and monitored much better and it's very much harder for the harassers to come in and just harass people

2003-12-11 [Calico Tiger]: Plus this one is just better in general ;)

2003-12-11 [Wyndon]: I can't download this Mirc thinggy,cuz my mom will kill me.

2003-12-11 [Isilando]: invite your mom to elftown ;)

2003-12-11 [Calico Tiger]: Considering some of the things some of the kids do/say in the chat room, I think their parents would have fits ;)

2003-12-11 [Sigard The Faithless]: blah

2003-12-11 [Avaz]: I'm now a member too.,YAY ^__^

2003-12-11 [Samael]: Speaking of disruptive users, what are the odds of getting a couple ops there? I'd be happy to contribute a chunk of my time there.

2003-12-11 [Nita]: I haven't seen anything bad happening yet, but you should talk to [Isilando] when it gets crowded and hard to manage without some staff... :)

2003-12-12 [brutalbarbie_x]: ok i have no idea what i just read so i have no idea what to do which is not good

2003-12-12 [Calico Tiger]: Follow it step by step. It's very easy ^_^ If you do it step by step and not try to remember it all, just do it as you read it, it's very simple

2003-12-12 [Mowhon]: hi all i have jsut arived and now im off have a nice day

2003-12-12 [KjK]: *yawn*

2003-12-12 [Samael]: I'm judging by what went on in the Spinchat channel (which, contrary to what I hear, seems to be working fine for me. Registering a nickname costs money, though), not what I've seen in the IRC channel. Hm, if what I've seen here is any indication, though, the IRC channel may not become populated enough to require moderation of any kind... wouldn't that be a bummer. :p

2003-12-12 [Calico Tiger]: That's how the spinchat channel was at first as well ^_^

2003-12-12 [Jewel62]: Hey hey hey

2003-12-12 [Samael]: Spinchat was a lot easier to get into, as well, though. Maybe we can implement one of those javascript IRC windows for the less computer-literate users?

2003-12-12 [Moonkeeper of Arilestite]: i want the old chat back!!!!

2003-12-13 [Sintaren'Ssr]: what the falk where is the chat who ever made this so stupid now i cant chat with other people i want the old chat and we all do

2003-12-13 [Calico Tiger]: Have you followed the directions and did what the page says? You're right. You can't chat with your friends if you don't try it out :P

2003-12-13 [brutalbarbie_x]: i don't like this what ever it is ok so forget it this is really stupid and the people that did this must be to so..

2003-12-13 [DrAgOn*tEaRs]: hey ppl, sup?

2003-12-13 [Nita]: 1) Yes, there is an Azzurra applet on the internet, but we haven't decided if we want to advertize it yet :)

2003-12-13 [Nita]: 2) If you really, really want the old chat, go and use it instead of demonstrating your inability to read here ;)

2003-12-13 [Nessa Nenharma]: this one sucks

2003-12-13 [Nessa Nenharma]: really bad

2003-12-13 [Nita]: Why?

2003-12-13 [Isilando]: Become of the minds lesser bound to the parametres of perfection :PP

2003-12-13 [bethillustration]: hi guys! new comer ere"

2003-12-15 [Liraels Mogget]: hi peoples

2003-12-15 [SHIT69]: hi

2003-12-15 [Maketsu]: IRC has been around since ´88 and proven good in that time, so it is good when you get used to it. Whining won´t change a thing.

2003-12-15 [cowboy lover]: whats up

2003-12-15 [Sylanya]: wow....so complicated....

2003-12-15 [Calico Tiger]: Only at first ^_^ Then it's very easy to log in afterwards. The instructions are done very well. Just follow them step by step and you'll be fine

2003-12-16 [TheRogue]: uh guys.. azzura is an italian made site.. and i just got autokilled because of my ISP... and i cant fix it cuz i can't read italian, or find an english version of the page..

2003-12-16 [Isilando]: You may not be able to read Italian but I see you don't read the wiki too :PP For US people it is

irc.us.azzurra.org

;))

2003-12-16 [Panamon Creel]: hello

2003-12-16 [Samael]: If the language is off when you access irc.us.azzurra.org, type "/nickserv set lang 2" to put it in English.

2003-12-16 [Chister]: Wait, never mind.... I got it :D Its actually pretty good

2003-12-18 [bite 2 break skin]: :P

2003-12-19 [SoftleyAbused]: hmmm...as interesting as this looks...

2003-12-19 [Cougar]: @_@ gah! so much compications! ;-; i am blonde and this chat is not blonde accessable. ^-^;; i think if possible make it like. "here is the chat click this button." ^0^ yes there are ppl that need it that simple. ^-^;;

2003-12-19 [Samael]: If you take it one step at a time, you'll find that most of the material is already set up for you, just needing you to plug in a few digits or words here and there.

2003-12-20 [tigantha]: who likes to dance?

2003-12-20 [Hedda]: This page should move the mIRC-specific pladdering to a mIRC-page, and only contain the general information, I think.

2003-12-22 [i_luv_Nick]: i'm not sure i get this

2003-12-23 [Sensei of Pirates]: hey everybody

2003-12-25 [Zainal]: yeps i don't know how to use this chat thing... help!!!

2003-12-25 [Samael]: Take it one step at a time. This guide is fairly comprehensive.

2003-12-25 [Zainal]: ahh man i down lauded the thingy but i got no window asking fer name...hmmm

2003-12-25 [Zainal]: hey it wont accept me e-mail address!

2003-12-25 [Samael]: Make sure the e-mail you typed in is valid. Sometimes @aol.com addresses will not be accepted by certain programs and clients. In that case, you would be best to get a secondary account with Hotmail or Yahoo.

2003-12-26 [Zainal]: i got it... i was still using the quatations... but now i have to wait fer permission feer voice.... waiting...

2003-12-26 [Samael]: If your e-mail client has a spam filter, make sure the e-mail doesn't get sent to your spam folder. It should come no later than within an hour.

2003-12-26 [Zainal]: its been longer, two of us be waitiing and no reply sorry! but thanks fer ye help!

2003-12-26 [Samael]: I thought it was an automatic process, but it might be manual. If you still have no mail tomorrow, try the register command again.

2003-12-26 [Zainal]: whats the register command... and how do i do that... man i must be annoying ye!

2003-12-26 [Samael]: After you pick your name, enter "/nickserv register" with a password and your e-mail. So for example, you might enter "/nickserv register pass52 zainal_silver@yahoo.com".

2003-12-26 [Zainal]: done all that.

2004-01-01 [.soldier]: Sooo hungry...need Donuts...

2004-01-01 [*Shelly Luvin James*]: i didn't getta e-mail but i got on 2 it hehe :D

2004-01-03 [Kinky Pixie Goddess]: Im confused is this the chat or is it somewhere else

2004-01-05 [Samael]: Please note that this is not the chat. This is a guide to getting -into- the IRC chat.

2004-01-07 [Lamungo]: plrg

2004-01-09 [polarnoid]: NOT A "MIRC CHAT", GODDAMMIT! MIRC IS A SPAWN OF THE DEVIL! It's an IRC channel. Fix this now or I will unleash unnamable horrors upon you.

2004-01-09 [Nita]: And where does it say "MIRC chat", if I may know? :P

2004-01-09 [mindrell]: how does this whole chat thing work???

2004-01-10 [Samael]: Basically the program connects to one of the countless servers around the world, and then you join whatever room on that server that you desire. Just take the instructions one bit at a time.

2004-01-10 [Lizzy Beth 96]: ommmm ello im confused but oh well im always confused weeeeeee

2004-01-23 [Vixie]: hi

2004-01-23 [Isilando]: In the wikis, the proper order of guiding your attention is: FIRST, read the wiki, THEN, look at the comments. Without having read the content of the wiki, what do you expect to understand or find at the comments? It's like trying to say something in a conversation without knowing the topic.

2004-01-24 [Ki'Kyela]: hello is anybody here??
