OwnagePranks IRC Chat Network Now Available
Over the past couple months I have gotten several messages from people wondering why they were not able to enter the stickam chat when I was live, and why they sometimes got errors when attempting to join the room. The reason for this is that Stickam’s maximum user limit per room is 500, once 500 is reached, nobody else may join the chat, all they can do is ‘lurk’, meaning listen without joining the room. Several people have also proposed the idea to start up an IRC chat server. An IRC chat server can essentially have no limit on how many users can simultaneously be connected to the server. You can either install the program to connect to the chat, or connect via the web-based java client.
I decided to look into the idea, and finally got the chat network set up! The server has been generously given to us by ispeeds.net . If you’re totally new to IRC, and would like to see some tutorials about using it, click HERE.
The IRC server ip is irc.ownagepranks.com:6667 , or you can use the web client without installing the program HERE.
The server has been generouslu given to us by BitTraffic, be sure to check out their IRC and hosting services!
