kopek, you might try X-Chat. I hear that is a good Mac IRC client. X-Chat Aqua download | SourceForge.net
Ogre: Muwahahaha!
You weren’t supposed to find out…
YET! 
I was drunk enough to download mIRC again and figured it out, even in my alcoholic fugue, but it seems no one is there at the moment.
I think I have it set up. I’ll leave it connected tonight if anyone wants to check on me.
I made it in! Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve used irc.
No one’s chatting on a holiday’s eve, it seems. It is rather late, I suppose. Oh well. I shall try again!
Not to be a total Negative Nancy, but I work Fridays. Even if I wasn’t working, I’d be out on a Friday night with friends from Meatspace. I love y’all dopers more than you know, but I would not sacrifice a night out with friends in order to chat about kittens and poop with y’all on IRC. I’ve been there, done that haha.
It’s probably too late, but I highly recommend changing it to a weekday where the more social among us will have less going on, and perhaps everyone can join in.
Generically “the evening of 7/9”, or did someone ever set a time?
The past few times we had Old School #straightdope IRC Night people just popped in whenever, but usually in the evening when some of us had our drink on.
Daggum! I used to hop on #straightdope a lot. . . it was in the pre-Facebook years, back when North Dakota only had dial up Internet access (I think they’re still stuck there).
If I’m around, I will.
Tripler
. . . should be here, though.
I was on straightdope chat once. For about twenty minutes. It was quite a while ago.
This seems to have worked. I’m in there now, but no one is talking to me. 
8 PM East Coast, 5 PM West Coast is the general guideline, but consider it a drop-in sort of thing. 
I’ll be there if I remember.
I used to have fun with other Thundercats fans chatting as two or three people at once.
Ahhh, #straightdope…I think most of my time spent there was my last couple years of college and my first couple years out of school at a “real job.” (2002-2006.)
I’m fairly certain all I ever did was bitch about girls, my job, and where I lived…life of the party over here! 
Memories… in the corner of my mind…
JvO?
Same here. I just tried to log on and got needlessly flummoxed. I got as far as finding the undernet then got lost. 
Wow, all the hours I spent in #straightdope. Yeah, I’ll be there, some things you just can’t get enough of. Being taunted by all of you is about 100 of them.
