Please detect the sarcasm next time. Notice the ? That means I was joking.

And mods can continue to use what they use. This is meant for guests and/or visitors.
tsk tsk tsk

As far as I know, laughing emoticons mean clearly that you are joking, not sticking the tongue from your mouth, so if you want someone to understand what do you really mean, you probably should try expressing yourself correctly and clearly, without creating ambiguous meanings (for example, also ambiguous source code won't compile/run, ambiguity is useful when it itself it the core of a joke, but not when you want to express clearly the information, that you are joking), especially when that statement can be also used as a defense, stating, that many features in such client are actually wrong, as some people do believe, and prefer minimalistic things, but unfortunately many of them try to force others to think the same and think that anything else is bad/stupid/useless.

Plus, I don't see how can you possibly be both sarcastic and joking, since sarcasm is actually some sort of verbal attack, intended to hurt other people and their opinions (see Oxford dictionary and Wikipedia, which doesn't seem much like joking to me, in this sense. So either you don't understand one of these two words completely or you tend to change opinion about meaning of your previous statement very quickly in the same post, which makes me think: how am I supposed to detect sarcasm/joke, when you alone don't evidently know whether it's really sarcasm or joke, possibly what sarcasm really is? Also generally, it doesn't make sense, since it's direct reaction to Dylan's post about lack of features, followed by statement that it's "nice and minimal", which basically supports the previous statement "Who needs features?", thus it is only logical to assume that this statement implies, that features are allegedly not needed by almost anyone.

Also that with mods was an example, even normal visitors usually utilize features provided by standalone clients or other, more trustworthy and flexible online services. Furthermore, the fact that you may be joking doesn't strictly imply, that I cannot state reasons, why people could require features.

tsk tsk tsk

Look, All I meant was: It's a simple and easy to use flash client for guests that don't want to download and set-up another client to use.

Someone should make a kick trigger that sets off when anyone types an ellipse

Ummm... It appears that irc.gamesurge.net is down. But not just me...

O_o What's going on?
edit: huh, nevermind. It's back up now.

just joined the mIRC house pets channel

Me too lol.

You're all welcome to join. The more, the merrier .

Um...I don't get it. What is this for, exactly?

Chatting.

Exactly. It's for sharing real-time messages with more people at once.

It won't let me connect to the server; It will send me to the mIRC Sign in stuff. D:

Type /server irc.gamesurge.net and click enter.
After that just /join #Housepets, enter, and you should be there.

I am slowly seeing more and more swearing in the IRC. Probably just me though.(by just me i don't mean that i'm the one swearing, lol)

Well, some words that are considered swearing on the forums aren't in the IRC. I won't list them for obvious reasons, but the F word and the S word are considered swearing. Personally, I haven't noticed much of swearing at all, but if this continues, please give me a list of people who swear occasionally and, if possible, the words they use the most.

I think that if it can't be said on the forums. That it shouldn't be allowed on the IRC either. Just my $0.02.

Dumbest thing that can happen:

so after sometime of not going on the irc i sign in and nobody answers. how fun.

So? The channel is most active from midnight to 8 AM, GMT. There is some activity over the day, but it isn't that active. If no-one answers, then just wait. Stay in the IRC, you don't have to close the program after seeing that it's empty. Just minimize it.

Poor Dissension couldn't send his message : (

this happened to me once, when while testing my irc bot's automatic reconnecting feature. it was screwed and was constantly reconnecting to the server.(not joining the channel, bug that was fixed) just wait several seconds before reconnecting

i'm still getting it and it's been about a day since it started giving me the error

What client are you using?

The same happened to me when I was using GameSurge. Try using Mibbit, it seems to work better.

Just for future reference, there's a link to Mibbit in my siggy, if you want a fast find.

Or you can use this.

I set it up a while ago. Should work fine assuming you have the latest version of flash and firefox/chrome.

Okay, I a bit confused by all of this. So I installed the mIRC and yet no body is there. (Or maybe I was on too early). But other than that, whats the best chat to use instead of installing mIRC?

That's weird. Did you do as I instructed in the OP? These are the commands you must type one you open mIRC:
/server irc.gamesurge.net
/join #Housepets

There's always a lot of people on.

there are alway a few on the chat,

i suggest using Xchat as well, I found it a bit more simplistic then mirc
http://xchat.org/

Yeah I installed the mIRC. Oh oh, I forgot to add in the server. Sorry, its just I really don't use mIRC that much and I still trying to learn how to do this thing.

So Im in IRC, being interestingly boring.

Or rather, boringly boring. I'm not really interesting.

YOU D8<

yeah today it's been kind of quiet. It's usually less boring than this.
