Every Monday and Friday, at 8:00 PM Eastern
Time, you can join in on our EarthBound
meetings. You will find many EarthBound fanatics
to talk to, and many of them are willing to help
you if you have any questions.
Meetings are held on IRC (Internet Relay Chat).
IRC is much more fun to use that those horrible
Java chat rooms out there.
There are lots of rules in
#earthbound that you'll want to know about before
coming in the channel. Please read them and remember
them - Ops tend to be merciless :)
You will need to follow these instructions if you
are not familiar with IRC:
Download mIRC from
http://www.mirc.co.uk,
then install it. You will then be asked to fill out a couple of blanks
for your nickname, e-mail address, etc.
Then, choose to connect to an Undernet server. Don't connect to any other
type of server such as DALNet. After you are connected, a little window
should pop up. Type this:
This all sounds confusing at first, and seems like a lot of work for
simple EarthBound meetings. But IRC is easily 50 times better than
Java chat rooms. What's better is that there are thousands of other
chat channels you can visit at any time you want.
If you want to know who chats at #earthbound, we now have a growing
database which lists the users who flock
to our chat room. You can submit your name and information to this
database if you wish to be part of it. Of course, it is in no way
mandatory.
If you're into scripts or are looking for a way to spiff up your
entire chat experience, you can download
reidman's script, AutoEB.
AutoEB is a non-intrusive script with a few cool options, such as
Auto Away messaging, channel backgrounds, Quote quits, and more.
If you plan on using it, be sure to make a new directory in your
c:\mirc folder called AutoEB. Then unzip the file to c:\mirc\AutoEB
and read the FAQ.
