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 NICKNAME!ident@host.com (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
