Welcome to the home of the unofficial NiD.com chatroom!
Despite the pinned nature of this topic, this chatroom is unaffiliated with the main site, the rules here do not apply there and visa versa.

TRAViS created an awesome program to connect to the chatroom for you! Head over here and download it!

To connect to the chat in a webpage, go to www.gamesurge.net/chat, then type /j #nightsintodreams into the message box. And voila! Instant chat!


---------------------------------
-Rules-
---------------------------------

Fair warning before you enter. The room tends to have strong language and strong subjects from time to time, you've been warned.

1. The chatroom is NOT a gossip house, kids.
2. While the room isn't connected to the boards, it cannot be used to make fun of or insult members here.
3. The chatroom is not serious buisness. Sarcasm is rampant, we play around a lot, so take it all with a grain of salt.
4. The Ops of iRC and mods of the board are COMPLETELY separate. If you're banned from iRC, don't go whining to them.
5. All decisions are usually final. We don't exactly like having to be mean, so play nice, yes?

These rules are subject to change, but for the most part, just use common sense and we'll all get on right and dandy~
If you have any problems PM or email any of the Chat Ops.

Ops: Roam, Sairus, Pell and Purgatory


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Advanced Methods For Connecting To The Room-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some people prefer to use various programs to access these sorts of chats, so here's how to do it in a couple of the more popular ones.

HydraIRC

HyrdaIRC is a completely free program that requires no registration and has a very simple user interface.
Click here
to download the installer for the program.

1. If this is your first time running Hydra you will be asked if you want to create an Identity, select yes. If you have already set one up, skip to section 3

2. A window should appear with a big white box and a bunch of buttons at the bottom. Click 'New'.
Fill in all the details:
Identity Description is just a description of the account you're making.
Real Name is not important, but you have to put something (anything) in.
Username is what you want yourself to be called in the room
Nick is also what you want to be called. Fill this in with your chosen name, then click 'Add', just beside it.
The last two are unimportant.
Once all that is filled in, click OK.
That should close that window. Click the profile you just created, then click 'Set as Default'. Finally, press 'OK'

3. Up on the top left of the program there should be three icons that look like plugs. Click the middle one.

4. A new window should pop up. About halfway down this window there should be a box that says 'URI' beside it. Delete whatever is in the box and type in irc.gamesurge.net, then click 'OK' at the bottom of the window.

5. After a few seconds writing should start scrolling up the chat window and another window called channel list will appear. Close this.
In the chat window, type "/j #nightsintodreams" (without the quotation marks), then hit the Enter key. And hoorah! You should hopefully be in the chatroom!

6. As a final step, once you have connected to the room, click on 'Favourites' up on the bar at the top of Hyrda. Then click 'Add to Favourites'. In the window that appears, call the room 'NiGHTS into Dreams' or something, then click 'OK'.


Now, whenever you want to join the room, simply start up Hydra, then click 'Favourites' and click 'NiGHTS into Dreams' (or whatever you called it), then do step 5. See you soon!


mIRC

1) Download an mIRC and install it... it's tiny.

2) When you open it, a box should appear with Full Name, Email Address, Nickname and Alternate Nickname.
Fill these in with whatever you want. Only the Nickname one is important.
On the left, there should be a white box with a long list of tabs. Click on 'Connect' to open it (if it's not already
open) and then click on 'Channels'

3) Search through the list that appears and find the GameSurge folder. Open that, then go to Random Server.
Finally click 'OK'

4) The grey box should disappear. You should now see a row of pictures running across the length of the
program up at the top somewhere (this list sometimes appears on the side of the window in a column), click the Lightening Bolt one.

5) Writing should start scrolling up the window and it will make some beeping noises.
Type "/j #nightsintodreams" into the message box (but without the "") and press enter.

6) Hoorah! You should hopefully be in the chatroom!

Once you have used mIRC once you will only have to press 'Connect' on the grey box that appears when you start the program next time, then follow steps 5) and 6) to get into the room.

The address of the chat server itself is irc.gamesurge.net

If you have any problems PM me~ Hope to see you soon!

It really depends on who shows up in there, in my case. A lot of idiots jumped all over it and felt they had the right to kick others for silly reasons and complain about the forum/website that the very room they were in was made for. Good job. :)

Loren actually went in there a couple days ago and it was dead empty.. I wouldn't mind going again, if we could keep some of the oldbies who caused trouble out.

Yar, I'm in there generally whenever I'm online and not in college... Muraa is in there pretty much all the time too from what I gather along with the various others that are in there during the various times of the day. With your help we can help keep the oldbies in their place! XD
But since the room is unregistered, we can't really do anything to be honest.
It could still be a decent place to just sit in and chat every now and then if people get interested in it.

We won't let that happen to you anymore, don't worry.. I talked to you about that already. :)
If I can get my MiRC to work, I'll try and get in there again.

Man, reading all your steps for MiRC makes me glad I use XiRCON. It's only like one step getting there with my program, lol.

I used to hang around the NiD iRC all the time, but I haven't in the better part of a year. I'll start popping in again though if I know people are going to be around now.

'nuff said. It was kinda empty the last time I went on. I'm not sure if it's going to reappear on the main site, and I'll edit out the link if I'm requested by the mods or admins.

As for myself, I won't be hanging around there a lot.

Just to let you guys know that the IRC chat was closed and will no longer be affiliated with the site, hence why the links to it were removed ages ago. If you want to create an external chat , then do so by all means, but i advise you keep it well moderated/registered/and so on.

A note about mIRC: although it says you have to register... you don't. Just wait a few seconds after it starts up and the 'Continue' button will become available to click.

Ten: I think the server is irc.gamesurge.net, but I'm not too familiar with mIRC myself and am not entirely sure.

TRiPPY: Rightio~ Shall rename the thread accordingly.

Sairus, props to you if you make a new place for people to chat at. I downright encourage it. Its hard work keeping a chatroom problem free however, so get good mods you trust.

If it takes off i'll endorse it.

My parents are THE EXACT SAME WAY. Every single time they see me on IM or a chatroom, even if I'm talking to my best friend who they know VERY well, they go nuts. I was talking to a guy from a RP i'm in, (actually playing tic tac toe) once, and they became convinced he was some psycho stalker from England. I apologize to English people, I don't even KNOW where they got that from. (He's canadian)

*Enters chat, cricket chirps* ...Mmk, gotta fix that.

For those who don't feel like looking for a billion and one iRC programs, I bring you one I use personally. HydraIRC.

Download Link: http://www.hydrairc.com/index.php?page=downloads

HydraIRC, as compared to MiRC, is free completely. No registration, no trial version, none of that. Also feels simpler to get into the room. Simply..

Ninja edit step:To make a nickname, click options, then preferences. You should see a box pop up with a list of possible main identities, so make one. =P

1.When the program is booted up, click the connect icon.

2.Since Hydra doesn't have Gamesurge listed, we're gonna do things a little differently. Under the URI bar, where it already says IRC://, we're going to instead put irc.gamesurge.net

3.A window will pop up and have a HUGE list of channels, again, we're gonna make this simpler. Click Close on the bottom right corner of this window. On the chat window that has all the scrolling text, simply type '/Join #Nightsintodreams', and hey, you're there.

Slightly inconvenient that it won't memorize the server, I'm still learning with it. Ah well, if all else fails, come back and reference this post. Well, hope to see you guys there.

From the past irc we had with the old site, I was one of the Ops, so if you'd like, I'll perform the task again, unless you feel someone else is more qualified for the task. Anywho, I do enjoy using IRC, so chances are I'll be around that a bit. Come say hey to me every so often. I don't promise I'll be awake all the time, so if you see me and I don't answer, chances are I'm asleep.
