#WebsiteBaker on IRC

Hello!

Well after having some chat session on my not-very-stable FlashChat I think IRC, especially on the well-known freenode.net, is the best.
I have made it sticky, and wrote a news and a FAQ in English and German about it. I think it has to be done. Wink

I think there will be more news about IRC, but better have a beginning than just chatting around for endless times. cool

The FAQ is that:

Question: What is the WB IRC chat??
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a form of real-time Internet chat or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication and data transfers via private message. [Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat]
WebsiteBaker has a permanent channel at freenode.net, thanks to tomhung!

The datas are:
Server: irc.freenode.net
Channel: #websitebaker
Default Port: 6667

But how to get there?
Well, it's quite easy. You first must have an IRC Client. If you use Opera, you already have a built-in client, for Firefox there's the Add-on ChatZilla. If you don't like them or use another browser you could either use the "all-in-one" instant message clients Miranda IM or Trilian, or pure IRC clients like X-chat or the (not free but "everybody has") mIRC. Look at wikipedia - there are many comparison sheets if you are unsure which of them fits your needs.

Well - why do I have to get there?
You can easily chat with other WB users, get in contact with the developers, and the WebsiteBaker teams also have meetings there. But don't expect hundreds of skilled WB users waiting to solve your problems - the chat is only an additional part for making organisation and user contacts more efficient. Please don't think "Oh, there's another user, perhaps he can solve all my problems" and then posting questions like "WB isn't working - I give you admin rights, could you get it going?" or "I saw somewhere a nice template, please do it now for me, I need it tomorrow and if I don't get it I will cry all day." WebsiteBaker is OpenSource- nobody here on websitebaker.org and in the chat gets any money for helping other WB users and many people put a big amount of time in that. So please regard that.
