not surprisingly <_< I like IRC

Ive put them on a few of my forums in the past... they take a while to load, dont always work, and keep people from actually posting.

Is there a Glitch IRC channel? There should be...

This is the main reason i haven't installed a chat up until now.

I used to run an Irc chan, it still exists even in my absence. It was pretty focused on glitch, and downtempo.
I have joined #GHF on efnet, which i plan to eventually turn into the main chat channel if i ever do install a chat service on this website. At the current time the software that i want isn't available, or isn't quite what i want. So for now i'm going to hold off until i find a coder that can hack something together for me, or someone releases better irc integration for phpbb3.

This is one software i looked at, but it has ads or it costs money: www.mibbit.com
There is also PJIRC - http://forum.pjirc.com/viewforum.php?f=18 but it appears to have been abbandoned?!?
There is also http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/613 but it was never updated to work with phpbb3

You bring up a good point. People would post less cause they are chatting away. The running slower and taking a while to load thing sucks too.

Mibbit is cool for what it is... thats what you use if you log into chat via the Dubstep.fm website.

Honestly, I wouldnt integrate it... no reason why you cant just have a link page with instructions on how to join an IRC channel. Like just add a "chat" link to the menu at the top and have it go to a mibbit page with instructions on how to get there via other clients... or maybe co-run one with Glitch.fm if they're down and help each other build a chat community?

Just some thoughts...

Ive made three forums now though, and took the chat off every time Ive added it within a week of it going up... either no one uses it, or no one uses the forum.

Do you want GHF to have a chat box?
