About Me
Hello! I'm the founder of Destructoid. My cblog page is always in ruin because I use it to test my code.

Please feel free to bitch at me when I break something or do something you don't like to the site. I love getting email from people that really care about making the site better, so hit me up with your ideas!

You can reach me at niero [at] destructoid.com.

IRC chat now available within Community section
Niero | 11:10 PM on 12.01.2008 71 comments




I have to hand it to our unofficial IRC community -- they're a tight group. Unofficial or not its about time we integrated live chat into the site so a convenient IRC app is now embedded on the community area. This chat area is not moderated whatsoever by Destructoid staff, but instead have community-appointed operators. As the disclaimer on the bottom of the page says: use at your own risk, hope you enjoy rape, etc.

To login just click on this page and it should put you right in; no additional login necessary. The app might have trouble with some special characters or spaces in names. Please report any bugs or requests in the comments below. You can also click on the maximize button and take it to go in a pop-up window while you surf.

Woo. Now that I don't have to open mIRC I might actually go to chat. Just to lurk of course. And fap.

Well, the first bug would be that if you open it in a window and leave the IRC page, it logs you out of IRC and closes the window as well. I suppose it may be meant to work like that and I guess with tabbed browsers that's not a killer, but it seems sort of silly.

Niero I love you so hard right now.

For those newbies to IRC, Professor Pew wrote up an amazing guide (that I helped with!) that can be found here. Some of it addresses setting up an independent client from the one Niero just made, if you swing that way, but it's filled with a lot of important things in general - tips and tricks, if you will. We'll have to update it soon now that there's IRC embedded into Dtoid. :D

And I think I'm going to have to add some old-time IRCartel members as new ops and half-ops...

As an unofficial Dtoid IRC moderator (against the wishes of everyone) as well, I thank you, and offer you 10 free beers that I already owe you... in 5 years.

Destructoid IRC FTW.

Awesome job, Niero, this is the best thing ever. The worst at the same time, as I will slack even more in my computer classes. :D

I know I don't really need the Java Chat, since I've got my own client, but for what it's worth, I can't connect on the page you linked. I'm using the latest Firefox on Mac OS X Leopard, if it matters. So far, seems like I'm the only one having the problem.

IF YOU GUYS ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH A BLACK BOX SHOWING UP ALONG W/ A RED X IT GENERALLY MEANS YOU ARE MISSING A PLUGGIN - SUGGESTED SOLUTION IS DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF JAVA RUN TIME AND INSTALL IT <3 you.
