View Full Version : REV3 on IRC - UNOFFICIAL
All fans of all shows, come, congregate, and converse about shows, life, etc. on this unofficial IRC server. There are rooms for every show so fans can find others with the same interests and make for sweet enjoyment.
The server is:
- irc.unpluggedpodcast.com
The rooms:
- #rev3
- #diggnation
- #geekdrome
- #thebroken
- #indigital
- #infected
- #ctrlaltchicken
- #systm
- #notmtv
- #mysteries
- #pixelperfect
- #webdrifter
Hopefully with time, these channels can grow and flourish and be a place that fans can look forward to and extend their enjoyment beyond the rev3 shows, only to share that enjoyment with other fans.
Hope to see you there.
-kyro.

also, for those who don't already have an IRC client or would rather just use IRC from their browser, you can use our Java IRC Client at:

Speaking of which, does anyone have any suggestions for OS X clients? I haven't used IRC since I switched.
Yeah Moiety.
Personally, I use X-Chat Aqua. I've scoured the net for better ones, but this is the most simple to use and my pick.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xchataqua/
If you want to check out the others, they're:
- Babel
- Snak
- Macirssi

ps. Welcome to the clan.

i use Colloquy on the mac (pretty close to mIRC and pretty easy to use) (and i HATE X-Chat)...i use mIRC on windows and console-based IRSSI on Linux

10-01-2006, 09:52 PM
Awesome network.
Try X-Chat Aqua (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xchataqua/), Conversation (http://homepage.mac.com/philrobin/conversation/), or Colloquy (http://colloquy******/) for OS X irc clients - i personally prefer X-Chat Aqua. Oh, and i think you can use irssi if you want to compile it for OS X, dont know of any binaries for OS X though.
If your on windows, use mIRC (www.mirc.com) with NoNameScript (http://nnscript.de) to make it look pretty or X-Chat (http://www.silverex.org/news/). On *nix, X-Chat or irssi are the only clients i know of.

Thanks for putting this as unofficial, and if anything you can make a seperate thread for IRC clients in the Windows forum so others can get in on the information.

That's a no-can-do, as it is, these links may soon have to be removed, it's still up in the air. We're discussing rules for the forum right now.

Nice, I'll check these out later.
What do you mean these links may soon be removed?
It's already been stated that they're unofficial.
This is a service for the rev3 fans, brought to you by rev3 fans.
There's nothing illegal about it, nor does the rev3 company jeapordize anything.
I'd rather hear from Jay or someone of the like than to listen to someone who's assumed authority over these forums ever since they've been posted.
Get off your ****ing pedastal. seriously.
In any case, everyone, come join!

I'm assuming you're not a lawyer of some sort to be able to tell me this with any sort of conviction. Here's the meat of the issue; we're not responsible for what goes on in the chat rooms, ok? As it is, you may publicize your chatrooms, I said it may be removed in the future, as in nothing is concrete.
I speak with Jay and Dan regularly on these things and I am not on any "pedpestal", so I'd rather you not attack me personally or at all, but send me a PM and relay your problems to me in a civilized manner.
The fact is that Jay does in fact trust our judgement in these issues and I am more than happy to go straight to the CEO's mouth for his opinion on things. In the meantime, post away, don't spam, though and enjoy your time here.

Unofficial IRC channels have existed since thebroken1. Nobody is claiming that they are official and we've always agreed to any requests made by any administrators.
Klitzy
10-01-2006, 11:48 PM
Well...Wow...Can't we all just get a long?
I feel why Kiro is mad for the reason that this "controversy" would have never arisen in the old forums and there would be no question about whether it would be removed or not.
And frankly, I think he would like to hear it "from the ceo."
You told him to put unofficial, he did....And now you give him the possibility of it to be taken down.
I understand his "pedistool" analogy because you did not have to give him that possiblity of his IRC to be taken down. You could have waited but instead you chose to show that you have "power" and that his thing might be taken down to almost scare him.
I can tell alot of us including myself are unsure of this "moderator" issue of these strangers from Scopetech but they seem rather professional and hopefully will do a good job.
Anyway, I like Samureye...I think he is good with the idea of community and knows what he is doing. I do question whether or not he knows this community in particular and how the feel of this forum is or at least used to be but I am willing to give him a shot and I hope everyone else is too.
So let's all calm down, and let the good times roll

You need to remember that Rev3 is not only a forum, but a commerical business operated by Revision3 Inc. That has a number of responsibilities associated with it, including protecting their name. Its a legal thing to do with trademarking.
I am all for an IRC channel, be it official or unofficial.
If it is to be an official one, let the admins get their act together with running the forums first.
If it is an unofficial one - find a host, and put up a channel, but just be aware that there might be some future judgement on trademark protection come down from up high, and you might need to move from "#Rev3Fans" to something else.
Also feel free to advertise the channel in the forums or in your sig file. Just be warned that you might need to rename it at some time in the future.

Whatever happened to the open source and open content ideology that Kevin Rose and thebroken have always supported? The channel has been labeled as unofficial as requested by samureye. Please stop the oppression.

/edit: original post removed as it didnt add anything to the thread and was more harmful then helpful..
Anyway, Windows IRC Client list (http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=264) and OS X IRC Client List (http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=271) incase anyone was wondering about a few clients to use. Didnt include Linux as if your on Linux, i'd guess that you would know about Xchat, irssi, or whatever other clients already :P
Despite how much samureye has annoyed me some what, klitzy makes a good point. I'm willing to give him a chance, as should anyone else. Please stop with the posts that do nothing but hijack the thread from what the topic of it really is. Although these posts are understandable, what you guys want to say i'm sure has been stated.
Samureye, I don't hate you, I give you a second chance, just please show a little reservation.
Anyways, REV3 IRC, woot.

Okay, I'll chime in on this one...
For now, links to IRC rooms will be okay, so long as you don't try calling them "official" Rev3 chat rooms. We don't have an official IRC room, and probabaly won't. Our opinion on this issue is that an IRC room at a place with forums, is a moot point. What's the point of having a chat room to go talk in, when you have forums? That would kind of eliminate the need for the forums, all together now, wouldn't it?
Bottom line:
Your IRC "fan" chat rooms will be okay so long as:
1. You don't try to label them as "Official" Rev3 rooms.
2. You don't spam them here to get everybody to join in.
**Remember** As an un-official chat room, any of the above linked to rooms, are in no way, shape, or form, affiliated with Revision3 Inc. Any content contained within said rooms, does not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of Revision3 Inc, or any of it's subsidiaries.

Shane, while your points are well taken, the above is honestly a bit stupid, in my opinion.
Chat rooms allow an opportunity for people to converse as it was in a daily conversation. As in, it's live, subjects change and there is no topic one has to somewhat adhere to, etc. etc. Saying that chat rooms eliminate the point of forums is an outright wrong comment. Chatrooms do nothing more but supplement the forums and the product of which the forums and the chatroom were made for.

I appreciate that very much, I've stayed quiet since I am not trying to pick a fight with anyone, so I have to take whatever you dish out and be happy about it. Please understand that I don't run anything here, I'm a aprt of a team, I'm acting objectively and I'm checking with those above me before anything again happens. I'm not doing anything just to be mean. Also, the broken is for entertainment purposes, if you're not aware. Thank you and I'd appreciate it if the personal attacks via PM would stop now :)

Thus, the reason why we decided that you're entitled to leave your link for the un-official Rev3 rooms. While we don't believe an official chat room is at all necessary, the un-official ones should suffice.

No I am anti_z3r0. I started the original Rev3 irc room but everyone kept just telling people it moved to another server and basicly screwed me out of it. So I gave up trying to get it back.

We idle #thebroken but we're about all of revision3. I guess we could technically join #revision3...but that wouldn't be as cool.
Kevin came in there for the release of thebroken ep3 a long ass time ago. Long...long...long...time ago. Right Kevin? Maybe you should come by again...maybe. :D
