Yes, the channel you have all been waiting for is finally here. Please join
#dosgames on
irc.slashnet.org. For the uninformed, you will need an IRC client to connect (although I encourage the DGN admins to add java clients to their sites), my recommendation would be
mIRC, which is shareware but fully fuctionable. I will write an introduction to IRC for newbies later, unless anyone else wants to do it for me.
So connect and start chatting!
Edit by Kazer0: For those who are just plain lazy to open mIRC, or don't know how to double server, [url=irc://irc.slashnet.org/dosgames]clickey here[/url]

And, for those of you who are un-IRC savvy and/or simply can't access the necessary ports on your computer because of a firewall or something, our host has provided an excellent Java client for our use.

eMule is teh sukc. Use mIRC.
Anyways, I require everyone to be present on IRC between the hours of 7-10pm GMT-5. You are only exempted if you dive in ghetto country not near my timezone. (IE: You damn aussies.)
Else you end up on my bad list.

I went there 4 times. The first 3 times only saw only a bot.
Yesterday, there was no more bot but only 1 other person (At last found someone.
).
Wally, maybe we could chat there some time when you're free. At least the time difference between us is just 2 - 3 hours.

I'm not a bloody robot, you people can't expect me to be there 24 hours. If you want to help the channel to grow, idle for a while until someone else joins the channel whom you can chat to.

You can probably still get on using the web/java interface:

Although then again, you might not be able to.

Is it down?
I tried to join now and I ended up creating my own channel. (Yes, I AM on slashnet). Haven't found anyone there in a long time anyway.
