Yeah...could we possibly see a chat session w/ FanPro prior to SR4's release?
I doubt it could be a bad thing. |

There will be at least one -- we'll be announcing the date soon.

That would even be worth installing some sort of IRC client to attend.

Now if only my school would allow connections to IRC's ports!

If you used Jabber, there are IRC->Jabber/Jabber->IRC bots that can transmit text between the two services.
I assume the Dev Chat would be on Dumpshock's server, or something more bandwidth friendly if it gets big enough? |

It will be on the Dumpshock IRC server ... we're waiting until the new server is installed and we've worked out the kinks, hence the lack of announcement so far.

Fair enough.
Any chance of getting a Jabber bot setup to transmit between the two mediums? Makes it easier for people who are unable to connect to IRC. |

This sounds really cool. When will it approximately be, American time? So I know when to get up real early or stay up real late, even by my standards?

Tanka -- can you send me some links to the software you're talking about, so I can get a good idea of how long it would take me to implement? PM is fine.
hermit -- sometime during the evening, central standard time. |

Yeah, I just found out, my school now blocks ports 6667-7000. Fuckers. |

I suspect we can open a non-standard port for the chat -- and we do have a webirc applet, as well. |

My sympathies for people in the GMT +6 through +12 time zones. At least it'll only be a few hours past midnight in most of Europe.

Nice. Will standard mirc work? Or an special version of irc will be needed?

mIRC works on any and all servers.
Edit Adam: I talked to the guy who made the gateway we use on his server. He said he hardcoded it in python on his server specifically, so running it elsewhere won't work as near as he can tell. |

I don't care about the time ... I'll just stay up for it. :D
Is Dumpshock going to retain its web-based IRC client after the server change? If so, couldn't those people blocked from using IRC (for whatever reason) use the client instead? |

I doubt it. If a firewall notices something sending through ports 6667-6700 (or whatever is blocked) it blocks the information. |

Would it be possible to just open up port 7001 or something for the night?

Oh well, it was just a thought. I ain't no Hacker, and don't know much about this tech stuff. I just figured seeing as it is web-based (and runs through programs like IE), that it might use different posts (like the ones used for IE etc.). |

Well, it does, but the client itself (cgi, java, whatever) still has to connect to a server which is only open on specific ports (generally, 6667-6669 and 7000), so the browser still connects through the regular HTTP ports to load the client, then the client connects to the IRC ports (which would be blocked by any firewalls blocking IRC ports, 'natch). |

Ah, I see. Oh well, at least you are going to be able to work something out anyway.
Maybe someone could make a log of the chat (I remember that being done for D&D 3 so it should be possible), and post it on the web for those people that can't access it live for whatever reason. |
