Since the thread was already hijacked...forget about all those fance messengers and get some IRC client.

mirc sucks unless you pay regstration for it. Cannot even make a normal chat log.

grs · 16-10-2004, 00:46

huh, in which world does that happen? It logs anything in anyway you like (i use mIRC for more than 10 years and it could always log). You go File - Options - Logging and set it up.

What is worse, is that most people nowaday don't even now what IRC is. They just say mIRC, but thats only a client. It would be the same if you said you can read that in IE instead of look in the www / web or whatever. It is the same as confusing outlook with email or say ford instead of car...weired.

I had lots of trouble using irc either with mirc of with web interface. That was in Moscow though. And I did not have normal firewall installed. However must admit it is the best chat medium compared to others. I'm still using it almost exclusively at work. Bad thing, it does not support Russian-Cyrillic normally and uses some weird encoding. Regarding logs and especially long one, they were consistently screwed with unregistered version. It was a known bug iirc, may be they fixed it but I cannot update the client at the University without paying for it.

@grs: I know!! I go on irc.irc-chat.net for the civfanatics channel...someone should set up a cdz one.

You can log mIRC without registering it. And the logs do work for me.

Back on topic...good luck grs and killah.
