The Sims Wiki talk:IRC Channel

Any reason why the channel is empty most of the time? ;) --Cubs197 06:24, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope, but there's people in it now :) Duskey ( talk ) 23:27, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

OHNO!
IT KEEPS SAYING MY NICKNAME IS ALREADY INUSE WHEN I LOG IN TO IRC!<:(PLEASE HELP!--Monster2821 (talk) 02:29, July 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * It means someone else has registered the nick you're currently using. Type /nick and then a new nick to change it. You can also register your own nick if it's not already taken. Type '/msg NickServ help' for more info. Duskey ( talk ) 03:07, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

irc not working
When i get on irc it says:"irc is blocked please try again later".what does that mean?-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 20:13, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know, which client are you using? Your browser? Duskey ( talk ) 20:18, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Try getting on there it's easier then telling you exactly what's wrong.-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 20:22, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * You want me to tell you why you can't connect to IRC on IRC? :s Duskey ( talk ) 20:49, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Exactly,plus i am slow at typing and it will take a long time i guess to type what the problem is,Also i don't know much about irc problems.-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 20:57, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Someone tells me that you can't connect to freenode from the wikia login form at the moment. I don't know when it will be fixed. Duskey ( talk ) 21:05, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Not working again
The IRC is no longer working.-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 11:54, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is it only the web gateway which isn't working? Have you tried using a client? Duskey ( talk ) 13:57, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Same as last time with it saying please reconnect, remember?-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 14:01, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Re-added the notice to the page. Monster - try using mIRC or ChatZilla or another IRC client. Those seem to work better. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 14:05, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

IRC cloak
Does anyone know how I can get an IRC cloak for #The_Sims which will work on other IRC channels such as #wikipedia-en or #uncyclopedia? GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 16:09, September 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Help:Wikia IRC channel cloaks works on the entire Freenode network. -- Duskey talk 17:52, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks Duskey :). Kind regards, GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 18:20, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Itachibot
Add Itachibot on the IRC Channel page...

Itachibot is a channel bot on the IRC Channel in #The_Sims. You could see what commands he can do by using !commands

If you need help how to use the command, type !cmds help (command name) = Example !cmds help !cuddle

!info to check informations about Itachibot.. Franciskyle09 18:01, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Itachibot is also cool :D GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 18:53, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Added. -- Duskey talk 12:00, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

The Sims Medieval Wiki
Should an IRC channel be made for this wiki? I have currently "created" a channel called #The_sims_medieval which has no ChanServ involvement. (I don't know how to give ChanServ a permanant home) Just thought I'd ask just in case there is some demand. GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 18:31, September 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * That would be something you should discuss with their community, which is tiny since the wiki is brand new. The Sims Wiki and The Sims Medieval Wiki is not the same, we're merely linking to each other. Discussions about the game is still very welcome in the #the_sims channel. Seeing as how our channel is often quiet I doubt an IRC channel only for Medieval would have much success. -- Duskey talk 19:01, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Freenode is dead...
Is it just me or can nobody connect via Freenode? I seem to have no CAPTCHA or Connect button appearing. GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 19:55, September 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Are you connecting through the Freenode form or the Wikia form? -- Duskey talk 23:36, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Freenode form. GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 07:24, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorted. #freenode told me to bypass my cache. GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 12:49, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

Help
I can't get on the IRC, help.--Eduardog3000 17:33, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you using a client (such as mIRC)? GEORGIE  GIBBONS  talk contributions 20:42, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm using the link this page gives me.

Wikia's log-in has been blocked for quite a while due to vandalism. If you are using your web browser, then I feel that it is easier to use the Freenode log-in and just type in /join #The_sims and hopefully it works. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions 18:22, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, it worked.--Eduardog3000 20:48, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia login
Does anyone know if the Wikia login is indefinitely blocked rather than temporarily blocked as after a few months, access is still denied. If word has been given regarding the ultimate status then I will update the notice on The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions 20:39, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know, and I don't know if anyone knows, so I used code to hide it as a temporary solution. --Elassint 20:49, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * If it's only supposed to be temporary then I'd think that the ban would be lifted sometime soon as (despite most users having clients or using the Freenode login) it is causing some collateral damage. I'm not even sure if Wikia even has control over the ban. GEORGIE  GIBBONS  talk contributions 21:08, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Registering with NickServ to access
Now that anyone who wants to access the channel must be registered with NickServ, should we add this to the page in addition to instructions on how to register? I would do it myself but I'm not too sure how it should be laid out. GG  (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  16:18, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
