Bungle & Mart`s Weird, Wonderful World is now offering four new chatrooms!
* General Chat
* Quake Chat
* Asciiart Chat
* Red Dwarf Chat
The asciiart chatroom is for discussion of asciiart techniques and linking
people to art on websites. We hope for people to be able to get answers to
asciiart requests also... but that of course depends on whether and ascii
artists go to the chatroom. However it will be a bit unsuitable for asciiart
itself for reasons I will go into shortly.
Point your IRC client at irc.sorcery.net port 9000 or, if you are using
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3+, or another browser with VBScript and ActiveX
support, you can go to http://vibes.vossnet.co.uk/i/ighaig/ and click 'Chat
Rooms' then on 'ASCII Art Chat', then choose a nickname and hit the Join
button... easy! Unfortunately the ActiveX control we have used was designed by
Microsoft, not us, and it uses Arial font... which is ibviously not suitable for
a lot of asciiart... and IRC isn`t very good for asciiart anyway, because people
can interrupt the pics and also sometimes lines go missing and people get kicked
for flooding by the server.
Any nick from the web page will have {BM} attached to it, mainly so everyone
knows they are useing a really rubbish chat client that doesn`t do ANY irc
commands <g>.
Please try and drop by... it will probably be a bit empty at first but if people
keep trying they are bound to bump into someone else eventually.
