since the board was down, its apparent that people are pretty unaware of the digital-forums irc channel. this used to be quite popular but kinda died on its arse a couple of years ago last time the board was down for an extended period. usually when the board was down in the past, the channel was packed with people trying to find out what was happening.
its still there, not many folk in it any more.. but the more people who join and STAY JOINED, the more chat there will be.
The problem is people join for 5 minutes, get bored when no one talks then leave. mirc is a very small app that is designed to be left open. people might not talk for days at a time, but the more people show up, the more thats likely to change, there used to be about 40 people in it at all times and im sure we have a few more people than that on df that have their PC's on 24/7.
if you want to give it a go:
- Download mirc from http://www.mirc.com/get.html
- install the app
- register it
Serial: Name: registered S/n: 8311-908651- if your not an idiot, you should be able to figure out the set up, if you are, just guess... then hit: irc://efnet/digital-forums or type /server efnet then /join #digital-forums
alternatively, if you want to check it out before going to the bother of installing an application go here: http://www.digital-forums.com/chat/
or here http://chat.efnet.org/
put a nickname in the top box and '#digital-forums' in the bottom.
