Which IRC?

Post by Kiteflyer61 »

OK,this is probably a really noobish question, but which IRC program is the best to use for chatting with the TR team?

I'd prefer it to be free if possible. I'll only use it for TR so I don't need any bells and whistles that aren't required for it to work with TR's setup.

Thanks in advance. :)

I use Pidgin, which is simple and works with other chat networks than irc, too.

I hear Mirc and Trillian are good, too.

I used to use mIRC but only browser based clients work for me at school. Mibbit works pretty well but doesn't have an autojoin feature.

Yeah, mIRC is more or less awesome.

I'll just weakly suggest X-Chat before the haters run me out of this thread.

Indeed it is, although I haven't played with it enough over the years to work out how to Log chats.

Do you (or anyone else) know how to do this?
