Weekly IRC Chat Time!

There are two official com things of note this week that people should check out. First up there is a confidence poll up for the current mod team. Unfortunately with how the poll works you have to be a member of the Cap-Ironman LJ community to vote. So those that have an LJ account, drop by here to vote on whether you like the current mods or want an election for new mods.

The other bit of official news is the monthly newsletter went up this week.

For those writers out there, there are roughly six more weeks until September 28th, when the first drafts for the Big Bang are due.

Heroic is up for the TRB if you want to check out the great art by fictionforlife/ireallyshouldbedrawing. Maybe it will inspire you to write a ficlet.

Come chat about Steve and Tony with us, socialize, and have fun. And, as always, lurkers are welcome.

Next chat is planned for Friday, August 21st. 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 conversations about new tv episodes, comic book issues and other spoilers. 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.
