| What does IRC stand for? |
| Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet chat or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message and data transfers via Direct Client-to-Client.
IRC was created by finnish Jarkko Oikarinen in late August 1988 to replace a program called MUT (MultiUser talk) on a BBS called OuluBox in Finland. Oikarinen found inspiration in a chat system known as Bitnet Relay, which operated on the BITNET. IRC gained prominence when it was used to report on the Soviet coup attempt of 1991 throughout a media blackout. It was previously used in a similar fashion by Kuwaitis during the Iraqi invasion. Relevant logs are available from ibiblio archive. IRC client software is available for virtually every computer operating system. source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irc |
| How do I create my own chat-room? |
For a temporarily chat room, as long as it's not already taken, simply type: /join #yourchatroom However, if you'd like a permanent chat room, you must follow these instructions:
To create a channel, select a channel name under 18 letters long and type: /join #channelnamehere For example, if you wish to select the channel name #MyFirstChannel, you will type: /join #MyFirstChannel Note: Your channel name may only consist of English letters and may not include spaces. Once joined be sure you have Ops '@' beside your nickname. Then, type: /msg chanserv register #channelname PasswordHere ChannelDescriptionHere For example, we will register the channel #MyFirstChannel using oUet562 as the password and A Cool Chat Channel as its description. So, you will type: /msg chanserv register #MyFirstChannel oUet562 A Cool Chat Channel For further assistance, contact one of the operators in the #forex chat-room (they have '@' next to their names). Or type: /msg chanserv help |

| How do I connect my IRC client to your server with SSL? |
If you're using the webportal, you're already connecting securely, via 128bit SSL. However, if you are using an irc client to connect to the network via SSL, a little configuration may be required. SSL ports are 6697 and 7001 First what is SSL or TLS? Many modern IRC clients and servers have SSL support built in. This will explain how to establish secure connections with mIRC, XChat, and irssi. mIRC To configure mIRC to connect to a server using SSL, open the FileSelect Server dialog, select your IRC server from the IRC Server list, and click the Edit button. In the Edit Server dialog that appears, change the port number to the port on which the server listens for SSL connections and prefix it with a + to tell mIRC to use SSL when connecting. Finally, click OK and then Connect to Server to connect securely to the server. X-Chat irssi /connect -ssl irc.ircforex.com 6697 |

| I've created my chat room, where's all the people? |
OK great, now you have your very own chat room! But you're left in quandary... it's empty... a week or two goes by... and it's still empty! You ask yourself "what's the deal!" Well... like any business, social, forum, or CHAT ROOM, you will have to tell people about it. I mean, don't spam every other chat rooms on our network and tell people to visit your chat room; it doesn't work that way. Tell your friends and associates, post it on the forums, you may even have to do some massive spamming. But as always... remember to tell them, that ircforex.com is an open-source, affiliate free, non-profit group (we don't seek to generate revenue by means of advertising on our web-site or affiliate programs-we're forex traders after all). |
