Weekly IRC Chat Time!

It is time for another official chat!

The RBB started out this week with a bang! As always I'm impressed with the quality of the art and fic people produce for these. You can check out the RBB tag on Livejournal for the masterposts or go straight to the AO3 collection for the fic and art themselves.

Come chat and socialize and fun. And, as always, lurkers are welcome.

Just remember that the com's spoiler policy is still in effect for Age of Ultron, so please keep Age of Ultron discussion out of the main channel for now. There is a more detailed post on the coms spoiler policy you can read here.

Next chat is planned for Sunday the 24th. Don't forget that you can log into the irc channel at any point during the week. Normally, there will be other people around.

As a reminder we have a channel #cap-im-spoilers for things like Age of Ultron or new tv and comic releases. If no one is currently in there, just stop by the regular channel and let people know you want to talk about spoilers. :) To get to this channel use the same method you would for #cap-im but type #cap-im-spoilers instead; alternatively, once you are connected to IRC, type '/join #cap-im-spoilers' in the command line.

The #cap-im and #cap-im-spoilers IRC channels are on DALnet. If you’re using a regular irc client the server is irc.dal.net and the channel is #cap-im and/or #cap-im-spoilers. There are three different options below of web clients. If one doesn't work try a different one.

Got to https://kiwiirc.com/client. Type in the nickname you wish to use. The channel name is #cap-im or #cap-im-spoilers. There will be a little blue link that opens up the server and network info. Click on that and enter irc.dal.net as the server and 6667 as the port. Here is an example of what it looked like when I filled it out.

Teyke found yet another web client option if the two above aren't working. Go to http://www.wsirc.com/ and fill out the box to the right like Teyke's example below.


The http://www.dal.net/ web client sometimes doesn't working, but people still have used it successfully to join the the chat. Under Chat Now fill in your nickname, and #cap-im or #cap-im-spoilers.
