I just recently went on AO's irc server to see what the server was like and i found a group of nice people chattin and helping each other with questions. I feel that the AO irc server is not used by enough people for as great as a thing as it it.

If you dont understand IRC or never used it before there are tons of ways to start learning how to be a part of (In my opinion) the best chat program there is.

Wanna access AO's internet relay chat from ur browser? go here -> http://services.antionline.com/ *this is probly the best thing to use if u are new to this and never used IRC before*

wanna use a client for windows to go on it ? go to www.mirc.com and download mIRC

usin a mac OS ? www.ircle.com download ircle for the mac OS u run

for linux use bitchX or sumthin , most linux users know and already have a irc client


Now that u have the client and are ready just fill out the needed information in mirc and type
/server irc.antionline.com 6667 in the status window to connect to the server

and u will automaticly be directed to #antionline

now basic commands are easy to know after u rember them

type in a channel (chatroom) and hit enter to have ur msg put into the room (basic enough)


commands
/part #room - to leave the channel (example-> /part #antionline)

/join #room - to join a channel (example-> /join #antionline)

/msg NickName - to private message a person so no one can see it but them (example-> /msg MsMittens Hey pretty woman , wanna wax my modem?)

/me Actions - this is like a basic command, almost one of the most used commands next to talkin itself, most people like to show thier emotions with this command but it is suggested that u dont use it to much or u may annoy people who dont wish to hear ur emotions (example /me gives MsMittens a bear hug *

/ping nick/#room - sends a ping command to a person or channel to see the ammount of lag between u and the other person (example /ping #antionline) *replys will be in ur status window*

/ignore [email protected] (this is the ignore command for most irc client if not all, it can do everything from ignore EVERYONE at once, to ignore certine things, for you newbies to IRC i suggest just typeing /ignore NICKNAME to ignore someone who is buggin u that u dont wish 2 hear anymore)

/quit The Message You Wish To Quit With (this is like a goodbye chance for you, u can type /quit anything to make it so that u dissconnect from the server with the message u wish to leave) example "/quit I have to go BBL"

/ctcp #channel COMMAND - this is a ctcp command , there are such ctcp commands as PING , VERSION , FINGER , and many others (example /ctcp #antionline VERSION) *version check the IRC client the person is usin*




well guys thats basicly all u need to know to start usin a IRC client and to join another part of the Anti Online community.

Thats for reading this and i hope to see you all soon in #antionline
