hexchat is an irc (internet relay chat) program that you can leave on and hide in your status bar when you're not using it. it allows you to quickly go in and out of the chatroom as you please. it's free and lightweight.
get hexchat (windows/linux/osx) (http://hexchat.github.io/downloads.html)
when you first start up hexchat, you'll get this pop-up. set up your preferences like this with a nickname and password of your choice:

be sure to add "#thebackalleys" in the "Autojoin channels" tab.

then click 'connect'

what you should see now is something like this.
the tab to the left is the server you're connected to, and the list of channels you are in. the middle is the chatroom, and the right is the user list. you can right-click on someone in the user list to interact with them.
beneath the chatroom is where you type your messages.
one last thing to do before we're done here - register your username with the server so that your password works.
#thebackalleys irc channel is hosted on rizon, a very large irc server with many registered names. you might want to consider protecting your name so others don't take it.
to do this, type
/ns register yourpassword your@email
into the chat and press enter. once you've done this, a confirmation email will be sent to you. in the email, there will be a command for you to copy and paste into the chat and enter. after doing this successfully, your name will be registered. let me know if you do this so that i can add you to the channel's voice list, which will give you a welcome message and automatic voice status when you join the chatroom!
if you used the same password that you entered into your hexchat settings, you will be automatically logged in to your name every time you join the irc.
if you do not log in at least once every 30 days, your nick will be unregistered and you'll have to do this again.
#thebackalleys is only one of many thousands of channels on rizon, so if you're ever curious about what other channels to join, ask what other channels people go to,
/whois someone to see what channels they are on, or type
/list to get a list of all the public channels on rizon.
some tips on irc and hexchat:
- when you first exit hexchat, it will ask you if you want to quit the program or minimize it to the tray. if you select minimize to tray, you'll stay connected to irc but it will be out of your way. if someone says your name, hexchat will blink to get your attention.
- if you want to get someone else's attention, say their name! chances are their irc program will let them know someone is trying to talk to them.
- double-click on someone's name to start a private chat session with them.
- a blue icon next to someone's name is +v or "voice" mode - which means if the channel is moderated that person can still speak. the channel is rarely in moderated mode, so this is more of an honorary promotion given to regular users or members of the community. light blue is half-op, green is op, yellow is admin and orange is owner.

makes sense i guess
but if you ever do decide to come back on someone wasn't using the name 'hlg' it was actually banned by greg91 DON'T ASK ME HOW IT HAPPENED but anyway it's fixed now and you can use it
irssi is better
ok i heard you the first time
lmao damnit i got k-lined from the server for refreshing the java applet too many times
if somebody could log while i'm trying to get unbanned that'd be great THANKS

Might be my internet connection, it doesn't allow steam to work unless plugged into ethernet, and when on ethernet it requires a gay anti-virus program with bugs up the ass. I'll look into a connection, I've been looking at my firewall and anti-virus settings, re-installed java, but ts most likely the internet system where I am.
In fact I haven't gotten steam to work on ethernet for a while.
sounds horrible
who is your provider
Quote from: rtilsounds horrible
who is your provider
Internet is the school, labelled a VCUnet. Not sure what exact provider runs it though, I THINK verizon.
But the anti-virus I hear is new this year, and even the tech people barely know how to handle it. Its called Cisco Clean access agent, if that means anything to you. In fact, using the wireless is a stronger and more dependable signal, strangely enough.
oh
any school typically blocks services like irc
i'd be surprised if you could get it to work at all there

Worked a while ago, stopped working like a week after I joined.
if it times out it means ports 6667 and 7000 are being blocked
you could try configuring tor to use it but that might not make a difference
are you using the java client or mirc

Both of those wont work, but I haven't tried tor. I uninstalled it a while ago, but it only takes about five minutes to get set back up on opera, because pumping it through Mirc would probably be pretty ehhhh, "un-easy", considering I still haven't gotten the hang of it without extra features. I'll try that either tomorrow or later tonight.

what
the stats app tries to merge nicks that it thinks are the same person. since you guys change your names all the time, it sometimes does it incorrectly. i try to fix it as often as i can, but there's only so much i can do
ahhh
well uh I registered my nick and I have a static ip most of the time so uhh whatever!!
it goes based on nicks, not hostnames. and it uses the log file, so it can't check that stuff whenever it wants to anyway. i'll fix it next round, though

mircstats registers &'s and ~'s as part of a nickname and not a status, so if someone gets those next to their name it counts as another nick. i'm surprised i didn't catch that, though. it can be easily fixed

i got k-lined from all of rizon for 3 days for 'botnet'
anything i can do to remedy this?
you can appeal your ban here http://abuse.rizon.net/index.php/akills (http://abuse.rizon.net/index.php/akills) or on their forums i think. if it's a misunderstanding they will unban you.
this happened to me once for connecting/disconnecting too many times. but they unbanned me when they realized it was a mistake
ok so even after appealing the ban, having the ban 'removed', changing nearly all my connection settings for rizon, being unable to connect anyways and just waiting it out, i STILL CAN'T FUCKING CONNECT
do i need to uninstall my client or something or just contact them again cuz i'm at the end of my rope over here
what happens when you try to connect? the error message can help me diagnose the issue
proxy it for now i would suggest.
Rizon scans for proxies and wont let you in if you use one
