omfg do not forget the channel #nvc or your computer will automatically explode

chatzilla is good too if u r running firefox ftw

Infact, thanks for the bump. Registrered 5 minutes ago lol…

Damn, just noticed it was a sticky. Sorry for disturbing. Hehe.

I think we should really be pushing XChat as it is 100% free. Personally I like it better too.

gIRC?

Yes, Chatzilla its very easy to use, good-looking, smileys and a lot of things.
One thing that i dont like is that i can’t slap. :<

Can’t you just type

/me slaps [name].

?

Thread is two years old man.

This is old school but still has a huge relevance.

This could probably be updated somewhat with new country channels if theyve changed.

Quoted from Moose

I’m sure all the Finns already know about the greatest Finnish invention ever, IRC. Here’s a few useful Finnish TF2 channels:

#tf2.fi
#thematsi

Also there are:

#tf2.ru (Russia)
#tf2.se (Sweden)

Pretty quiet though compared to the finnish channels and above stated.

Quoted from veehell

imho freeware/gnu/oss/fss softwares are always better option
xchat/mirc are not so good as they seems to…
… and recommend people to use programs after the trial period is quite like “go warez”.

“Try before Buy” is very good motto, but when it ends just only with the “Try” and never “buy”…. this is just simply stealing and disrespecting the developers of mIRC or xchat or any other software.

no offense, no flame….
cheers
