Nintendo DS Wifi IRC? Or some sort of java chat?

[Trulen]

Well hi.

I was thinking about having a little chat program thing. Like a java, or IRC, so that it's displayed in real-time.

This way, we can come in, see who's there, and ask if anyone wants to play a game.

Then someone can answer to it, and then you can go play your battle/match/whatever game.

I guess pokemans will be allowed.


But I have no knowledge on how to set this up.
Might anyone point me in the direction?

But, only if you guys would think it'd be a good idea.

This may help you http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/ircd/ (im not great with irc either)

Ok I would definitely be interested in a ds irc channel.
Now there are a few ways we can do this, the easiest would be to find a server that has java web browser support. e.g. The server I go on, all you'd have to do is go to this page http://wikkedwire.com/javachat.html and put in your nick and to enter channel #Flagel and you would be in my channel. Of course we don't need to use my channel, and it would be easy to make a specific one. Using java is often easy for noobs, so then you don't have to download an irc client.

Or you could chose one of these servers http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/networks/servers/
and see if either they have their own java set up, or make a new channel on there, and provide instruction for how to use irc for those who don't already know.

Now from either of those steps, we could see how many are interested, and have channel operators to ensure things run smoothly.

Hope I helped.

Sounds fine to me. I would much rather have this then waiting for people to respond to me posts.

Flagel, I'd very much appreciate your channel.
I looked this up on google, and it takes more than an average brain to get an IRC channel up and running.

But I'm tired as of now. Been working outside all day today.
Tommorow, I'l look into your channel, and then create a thread for it.

Extremely offtopic:
I just booted up Chocobo Tales for the first time.
It just reeks cuteness.
But it's the tolerable kind.

[Flagel]

Yeah my channel would be fine.

put in your nick and the channel you want is #Flagel
Maybe you should announce it as news or something so its more widespread around the site.
Also I didn't realise you had connected Trulen else I would have said hi.

Edit: all you would have to do to have your own wiichat channel, is do exactly as instructed above, but put in #wiichat . It would be no problem for me to register it.
