TranslateSpiceworks IRC Chatroom
So if you were at the Spiceworks 1 million party last night or watching it on the stream then you may have heard me big up the IRC Chat room (or the RRC as Jen put it) and seems a few people are confused about what it is.
IRC or Internet Relay Chat to give it its full name is a form off real time messaging like Live Messenger (MSN) or facebook chat but normally it is between a group of people with a common interest rather than two people.
There was a lot of interest in setting up some sort of chat system for the community members to chat about Spiceworks and have fun which after a good 4 months of nagging Spiceworks finally took the first steps into becoming an official chat system with the integration of a web based IRC client into the water cooler.
One thing I have to say though is “This chatroom is not monitored or moderated by Spiceworks.”
Why should I join in?
The chat room is great fun, we talk about a wide range of things from Spiceworks to moobs, yes, moobs. It is a place of some adult humour be warned if you enter.
We also have two regular Spiceworks staff on hand to join in the fun and help with those really quick problems, we try to keep larger problems in the community for future reference.
What’s going to happen to the IRC in the long run?
So for the moment the IRC is going to be staying as and where it is but if we can gain enough traffic to warrant bringing it into the community more there are plans to try and integrate it into the community more maybe like the facebook chat it would popup from the bottom via the toolbar. This all depends on how many people come to use it and if the Spiceworks staff feel like it is worth it.
Joining the IRC fun
You can use the web based IRC client in the water cooler here or use a IRC client like mIRC or ChatZilla and connect to the freenode servers on:
- Server: irc://chat.freenode.net/
- Channel: #spiceworks
[...] and more. Of course as always there were some funny moments, like when the people on the IRC chat room were trying to get me to laugh while on Skype or when someone made bunny ears behind Jen while she [...]
