IRC Chat! And now Discord too!

That's right! We now have our very own IRC chat just like the one from back in the old days. I'd like to thank Telume for setting it up for us. Enjoy!

Edit: For those of you who don't have an IRC client program installed on your computer and are having trouble getting the Java one to work, you could also try mibbit or your favorite IRC client.

Gabi edit: more details here.

[Telume]

Thank you thank you XD

[Jeff]

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I've been making it a point to get on IRC whenever I'm online. So if you see me online here or on AIM, chances are I'm also on IRC. Telume and Pokemaster Ash also frequent IRC, so if you go on, you'll most likely not be alone. Of course, if you need any help just ask here, or there if you get to that point .

[shazza]

Ummm, TPM has had an ongoing IRC chat room for about 10 years now?

[Pokemaster Ash]

Yeah, but the new one is on a better server. Trust me on that one...

[Asilynne]

I dont even know what IRC is, but youd think it would be as easy as putting in a username and pressing join. It didnt work for me unless Im supposed to be seeing a red x :< lol

[Jeff]

Sounds like you don't have Java enabled, what web browser are you using?

[Asilynne]

IE 6, Im not sure what all else my computer has on it since I had to reload windows recently >.> so I guess Im starting with a fresh computer practically. Does that mean I have to download Java sun or something like that? I remember getting that once before for something else.

So who uses that one? I wanna be where the laydeez are.

That could be it. Apparently Microsoft doesn't include Java with new installations of Windows because their .NET competes with it. Anyway, try downloading it. You might want to try the "Do I have Java" thing first though.

[Asilynne]

That worked, I didnt have the java thing but now I do just one thing, when I went to the page it said that the certificate was from a trusted source but has expired, what does that mean?

[Jeff]

Does the same thing for me, it hasn't caused any problems for me, so it's nothing to worry about.

[Telume]

If you can't sign in using the java client just sign in using ChatZilla or mIRC (if you have them). The address is irc.bitsjointirc.net and the room name is #TPM.

If this is an inconvenience there's always plan B which I had to give to Bulbasaur4 since the LAN she's on hates the applet.

[shazza]

So who uses that one? I wanna be where the laydeez are.

True, it's just been an idlefest for the past 3 years!

[Lady Vulpix]

Cool! Except... no one's in there.

Why don't you people try #pokemon at irc.darkmyst.org? That one's quite active.

[Heald]

Java is a pain for me at the moment because my internet security is broken and thinks is blocking Java. Will need to fix that before I join.

Also, Lady G, is that a TPM related chat? Because I'm fairly sure that's advertising if it isn't.

[Lady Vulpix]

It's semi-related to TPM. We've had conversations about TPM in the past. But no, it's not made for TPM if that's what you're asking. I was suggesting sharing that room until we get enough activity to have our own.

If consider that is advertising, feel free to delete that post.

[Telume]

Atm there's not too many people because it was just released, Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm pretty sure when the site comes up it'll become active.

[Jeff]

If consider that is advertising, feel free to delete that post.

I'll let it stand, it was at least TPM-related.

It was pretty active last night (well last night my time). Surprisingly enough, we actually talked about pokemon.

[Telume]

Yeah it was, although I probably wasn't around for most of it. It looks as though nights are gonna be the most active times.

[shazza]

#pbs is TPM related.

[Zak]

#pbs is TPM related.

#pbs as in "up with pbs, down with tpm?" (not that I know anything about it now but that is a direct quote from someone).

Also is #pbs welcome to everyone?


But really, does #pokemasters even still exist?

[shazza]

#pbs doesn't really care about TPM now either way, but we do like to reminisce about the old days.

#pokemasters still exists, just an idle station.

[Telume]

Which is why this new one was made, besides that people from this site are actually in control of this one.

[Kirby]

Also is #pbs welcome to everyone?

A channel where someone says something once a week is pretty welcoming.

[Lady Vulpix]

Posting to point out that a new link has been added. Now you can have the #TPM web chat in 2 flavors: Java and Mibbit.

[Telume]

Yes, mibbit is for those people who can't use Java. It should make it 10x more accessible to everyone now.

Please PM me if you're STILL having problems.

Use the above link and type in a smiley for a surprise!

Again, I'd like to thank Telume for helping to set this up! Note that not all of them are in, and some are typed differently then how you type them on the forums (for example is O_O), if you have any questions just ask!

[Jeff]

Hey guys, having some trouble here, I can't log into the chat, it's telling me there are too many connections from my IP. It's probably because I made a typo on my first attempt, so if a "Jef" is on there just kick it.

[Lady Vulpix]

I'm in, but I don't see any Jef.

[Jeff]

Any mibs?

Edit: Got in through the Java applet, but Mibbit still locks me out. If anyone else is experiencing trouble with Mibbit (the applet used by the chat links here and on the main site), use the Java applet instead, which is linked in this thread.

[Kurosakura]

I'm having the same problem, I keep getting kicked out whenever I try logging in.

[Jeff]

So Mibbit is causing the problem then. It's most likely something that they'll have to sort out. In the meantime you can use this link: http://www.pokemon-trading-cards.net/chat/tpm.php

Edit: Already posted this on the main site but figured I'd put it here too, Mibbit's working again.

[Telume]

Tried to revive it but I guess that teetered off again, sucks doesn't it?

[Kyuuketsuki]

Sadly, noone is using the chat, I'm always alone there... *sits in emo corner*

EDIT: This isn't the Mibbit I use from the main site... O.o

[Telume]

I'm glad at least you use it . Some people come on from time to time but usually leave when they see how dead it is.

[abunaidesu]

SynIRC is a pretty good server.

[shazza]

The baby of ZIRC.

[Kurosakura]

WELL. I try, but it's usually so quiet, and huge chats on MSN distract me.

[Lady Vulpix]

I'm practically always in the chat. If someone talks to me, I will reply.
