Community:Chat Room (VGRC)

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

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 TAU-IRC to Gnug-IRC, but otherwise it's been there since its birth.

Early on in #vgrc's history, there was another channel on TAU-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.

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.gnug.org" (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)
