Community:Chat Room (VGRC)

The VGRC chat room is an IRC room connected to the VGRC and ZeldaInformer community. It can be found on the Bored-IRC network on #vgrc.

Along with the Zelda Universe chat (whom #vgrc folk are often intermingled with) the VGRC/ZeldaInformer chat room is one of the largest Zelda-related chat rooms on the internet.

History
The VGRC chat room was initially founded in late 2004 on the TAUniverse IRC network. Since then, the only change has been the renaming of the server from TA-IRC to Gnug-IRC, but otherwise it's been there since its birth.

Early on in #vgrc's history, there was another channel on TA-IRC by the name of #0, run by PyroMyrmidon. Since Pyro was essentially second in command in #vgrc, and the Captain second in #0, the two decided to merge #0 into #vgrc in order to strengthen the size of their fighting force and became one of the larger channels on Gnug-IRC.

When Gnug-IRC was shut down in 2009, the room migrated over to Bored-IRC, where it resides today.

Connecting
If you'd like to connect, google for an IRC client. And yes, for the mac/linuxtards, there are clients for almost every OS. Hell, if you have 'telnet' you can connect.

Once you'd downloaded your IRC client, follow these steps:

1) In the main window, click in the text box. Type "/server irc.zangaroa.com" (without the quotes.) 2) If you haven't chosen a nickname/other details, type "/nick yournick", without the quotes. yournick would be the nickname you want. 3) You'll get a flood of text. Sometimes, you may get a prompt showing channels. Type "#vgrc". If not, type "/join #vgrc". 4) Voila!

Alternatively, you can use VGRC's webchat applet (located here)
