I desperately need help with getting to the Home Theater Forum chat room


I really want in on the upcoming Warner chat, but I didn't have an IRC client (I can't access the chat room through the hyperlink anymore).

Anyway, on the recommendation of a fellow member of this forum, I downloaded and installed IceChat. Now I'm trying to figure out how to join the HTF forum.

I know you need to use the join#(fill-in-the-blank) command. I've tried that, and I've never landed in the Home Theater Forum chat room. There are several chat rooms on there called HTF, but I don't think any of them are this forum's chat room.

The chat is two weeks away, but I need help figuring out the IRC connection as soon as possible. I haven't really been all that good with technology, so I can't figure out half the jargon.

Sincerely,

John Kilduff...

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I'm kind of in a rush right now and have never used IceChat, but mIRC is great and easy to use.

Kyle's right, mIRC is basically the standard. In any event, make sure you're connected to the server "irc.shadowfire.org" before you try to join #htf. There should be some settings somewhere (properties, etc) where you can set the server.

I downloaded mIRC and I tried to get into the HTF chat room. I still wasn't able to access it. Do I have to enter a password to get into the room? If so, where do I get the password? The FAQs aren't much help and I would enter my error text but you can't cut-and-paste.

What exactly do "ChanServ changes topic to 'Welcome to the Home Theater Forum Chat Room (ParkerClark)" and "ChanServ sets mode: +pntr-o John Kilduff mean" and why can't I access the room?

Sincerely,

John Kilduff...

My time's running out.

I guess why I'm concerned is because I'm the only one in there. Is the chat room only used for studio chats or is it used for regular chatting as well?

Sincerely,

John Kilduff...

Maybe that might provide an explanation.

HELLO EVERYONE, may I ask a favor of you all? I will be gone during the Warner chat and have wanted to ask Warner a question for some time now. If anyone reads this and gets in, could you possibly ask about the 1974 movie MAME for me to see if they plan to release it, when, and will it be in stereo for the first time? I very much appreciate it. The musical is my favorite (the Broadway version), and aside from the awful casting of Lucy, there are some great musical moments in several songs that Lucy doesn't sing, so I am excited about a dvd version. Thank you.

Theres a chat room!



"Did you know that more people are murdered at 92 degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once. Lower temperatures, people are easy-going, over 92 and it's too hot to move, but just 92, people get irritable."

Only for studio chats.





The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.
