Incredibly Fun IRC Section!!

This new section of my report is dedicated to providing information about IRC (internet relay chat). If I had to name one thing that makes a successful Taldryan member, I would say IRC useage. It is required for all of the Clans leaders, and all of our most active members can be found there. I have found out that many members read my reports, and some of them dont use IRC, and I am hoping I can change this.

Here are some quick things about IRC:

-It is a free download (it says you have to register it within 30 days, but you never have to)

-Its VERY simple to use

-All the most active people are on it

-There are almost always people around

-Some competitions are only available on IRC

-You get to know people much better

-You get more of the Taldryan team feeling if you are on it

-Being active on IRC can be a reason to get medals/promotions

-Our clan channels get a little crazy sometimes, and its fun!

-You can message individuals like AIM, and talk in chatrooms (multiple rooms at the same time)

How can I get IRC? For Windows users the most popular IRC program is mIRC, which you install on your computer and use just as you would an instant messenger. mIRC is only a free trial, but you may use it as long as you want without penalty (other than a few annoying messages telling you to register). You can find mIRC here:

http://www.mirc.com

If you can't install stuff on your computer or you're constantly switching computers in a lab, you can also use the DB IRC, which is a java applet (to be used through your browser) allowing you to talk in only one channel or room at a time. DB IRC can be found here:

http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/chat.html

IRC is very popular and therefore has many servers and channels. This makes it hard to find what you want unless you know what you're doing. Therefore make sure to use the following settings when starting up IRC:

Network: Undernet

Brotherhood Channel: #db

Clan Channel: #taldryan

Have IRC but confused on how to get things going? Well you are in luck, the Shadow Academy has several IRC courses, and the first one is very helpful and for new users. Just go to the SA (http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/index.html) and then click on General Studies, and then the IRC Basics course. It will guide you through how to use IRC. If youre still having trouble or dont like how the SA course is laid out, you can read the IRC guide written by QUA Shadow (http://dinaari.taldryan.org/irc_guide.php). It has images of the menus and everything, and is very helpful!

I hope to see a lot of you on IRC!

Miscellaneous

-If you ever need to see an old Consul report, all of mine are up on djb.org!

Thats all for this week, as always if you have any questions/comments/just want to talk, feel free to email me at [Log in to view e-mail addresses] or just go onto IRC as Im logged on quite often as Kir! Or talk to me on AIM, my screen-name is ConsulKir!
