Well it's been around for 4 or 5 years so I might as well make an official thread for it. It's a place where mostly audio musicians come to shoot the shit (but all users are welcome)
now for some rules!
NEW RULES:
1) No plugging of your own audio when you come in - you are allowed to post funny links to stuff and links to OTHER people's music - but not your own, and no alts! >:(
2) No over-discussion of audio - the audio irc room exists for AUDIO musician to talk about stuff that generally gets them banned in the audio forum - like non-audio forum related things. However you are still allowed to discuss audio - but if it gets out of hand I might have to whip out the op tools on you :P
3) No homophobic or hateful behaviour - we have a rather lot of gay people in the audio irc room nad homophobia or other hate related discussion will result in immediate banning of your ip, and possibly your ip range.
4) Don't fuck with the system - attempt to hack the channel will result in blacklisting.
5) Don't spam the channel -the channel is automated to autoban or autokick you after a certain amount of spamming - don't say you were not warned.
6) If you are an op - your responsibilities to the irc room extend to marketing of the irc room outside of IRC as well. Failure to remaine active in this way will result in your de-oppage.
7) When you exit from the irc channel be sure to to do the irc thread HERE and post something related to your adventure there for that day. Not only will this reflect the progress on the irc room - it will help keep it alive and also help to keep the promotional irc thread alive as well.
8) Commenting about funny stuff in the irc room is allowed - however, if it's not funny - don't post it..
9) LURKERS MUST POST HI. It is not our fault if you sign in - lurk - and then leave - and then complain that nobody talked to you. It is your responsibility to break the ice - as we do not know who you are - and if you leave - we do not care. We also might be doing things irl and will be notified if someone speaks - or mentions our username - when the window to irc starts to flash, notifying us.
10) don't bring up subjects that cause extremely hateful debates and or/arrogance and/or "we're better than you" debates - for example - no discussion of Macs, linux, gay bashing, etc.
11) Don't fucking piss the ops off with discussions of "you're wrong" or "my countries such and such is better than yours" .. or just don't fucking piss them off in general - like newgrounds - this will result in a whimful BAN.
on that note we have some op openings! Some north americans would be appreciated as almost all our ops are in europe and when they go asleep - we lose most of our ops! XD Your qualifications will be judged a week or 2 after your continued presence in the irc room. Thats whats really required- constant presence - obsessive dedication - think MOD dedication. Mods are welcome to apply as well.
now you are probably thinking - well how do i GET here? Very good question!
me personally I use mIRC - and this is the info you need in mIRC options:
Description: QuakeNet: Random server
Irc Server: irc.quakenet.org
Port(s): 6667-6669
Group: Quakenet
Password.. usually none :p
simplified:
Server: QuakeNet
Channel #newgrounds_audio (if #newgrounds_audio doesnt bring up a room with Q in it try newgrounds_audio)
so d/l Mirc put all that crap in and then connect to server, then at the top u can input a channel and input #newgrounds_audio and you should be in - see ya there! :)
OR
you can download Seamonkey. It's a non-standard web browser, which is always useful, and it has a fully functioning built in IRC client.
OR
if you cant be assed and want a quick way to get to us:
newgrounds audio irc chat room!
- just type newgrounds_audio for chatroom and your username and you're in!
OR
if you don't have mIRC or an equivalant you can attempt to connect using the NEWER JAVA CLIENT.
OR
http://dsm.pwnedgalaxy.net/board/ngapi rc.php
however for this one once you sign in you'll be assigned a "guest" name - in which you will then have to type /nick yournickhere to change it to whatever you want your nick to be :P
have fun and see ya there! ^^
