IRC clients - Acko - June 11th, 2013 I use chatzilla, personally. However, I have been looking for a good independent IRC client for a while. I know mIRC exists, but it has a time bomb. So any suggestions? Re: IRC clients - Darth-Apple - June 11th, 2013 Hexchat is really nice, and unlike xchat, it's free which is nice. That's what I use. Re: IRC clients - Gmdykfuiygh66476 - June 11th, 2013 I'm using xchat. It's free Re: IRC clients - Darth-Apple - June 11th, 2013 It was free for only 30 days for me, and then forced me to register. Not sure if I missed something or not when I installed it, but that was pretty annoying. Re: IRC clients - Acko - June 11th, 2013 per Blake's tip, I've went with HexChat. Though it's real... white and I can't stand looking at it sometimes. Are there any themes available? Re: IRC clients - Darth-Apple - June 11th, 2013 I'm not actually sure. There may be some themes available, but I haven't seen any yet. Re: IRC clients - Acko - June 11th, 2013 Well, I guess there are now. (really should have just googled that myself lol) Re: IRC clients - Darth-Apple - June 11th, 2013 Ah nice. I'll have to try some of them out myself. Re: IRC clients - Towncrafter - June 11th, 2013 I use the built-in irc client in the opera browser. I've tried chatzilla, and i tried mirc a long time ago, but i didn't like those two. Re: IRC clients - Darth-Apple - June 11th, 2013 Oh opera has a built in client? I'll have to check it out. I thought it was a plugin, so that's pretty neat. Re: IRC clients - Acko - June 11th, 2013 And now, I temporarily use cIRC for chrome. Re: IRC clients - Darth-Apple - June 11th, 2013 cIRC? Haven't heard of that one. I'll have to check it out. Re: IRC clients - Acko - June 11th, 2013 Yeah, it's kind of minimal though. ChatZilla is a plugin for firefox, and is more complex than that. RE: IRC clients - SpookyZalost - May 30th, 2017 I actually use hexchat, it comes with the linux distro I use... but i know it's also possible to telnet into an IRC and use a command line, if you are inclined to do that. RE: IRC clients - SpookyZalost - February 22nd, 2019 so reviving this, does anybody still use IRC? I use it occasionally when I'm stumped with linux and the usual forums come up short but I know there's still tons of active IRC channels. RE: IRC clients - Thomas - February 22nd, 2019 I do! Daily. Hexchat is my go to. I'm on freenode and some torrent tracker networks. RE: IRC clients - SpookyZalost - February 22nd, 2019 awesome! yeah I love using hexchat on my various nixboxes Freenode for the win man! |
