Talk:IRC

Infobox?
Here's an idea... create an infobox template for channel pages. It could have fields for server, admin (or founder(s)), channel premise, rating (as in PG-13, XXX, etc), website... that sort of thing. And maybe a link to direct-connect to the channel, using an IRC:// browser link. Like. KaloFoxfire 01:45, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

IRC clients
I don't think information about specific IRC clients is appropriate for a WikiFur article. -- Sine 06:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC) --I agree Electricfox

irc channel pages
I was attempting to create a page for the #mifur channel, but # is a special character. What should the page name be?

Appropriate?
I'm not seeing the need for this to be an article on WikiFur. Perhaps a line or two at Category:Chat networks. -- Sine 01:49, 7 September 2013 (EDT)
 * Counterpoint. Missed the day of furry BBSes, but when I got involved in internet furry fandom, and even thought I caught the tail end of it, IRC play a tremendous role of communication between furs of that time, along the furry newsgroups. Furnet channels, specially #furry, would host 100s of user connections, which help coordinate furry convention data, art exchanges, furry gossip, and just fandom information being exchanged in real time.


 * The BBSes died, The newsgroups atrophied, and furry IRC use declined after the advent of the Burned furs debacle, and the split of Anthrochat from Furnet, but a recent visit to both servers still show quite a substantial use of the service, strangely enough, and many furry related groups and websites still have a presence there.


 * More or less the Livejournal/Facebook/Twitter of that time period. The only problem I see in this article is that it doesn't present enough dat and it's impact on furry. - Spirou 18:26, 10 September 2013 (EDT)
