The long awaited Pixar Planet IRC Chat is finally here!
“How do I connect?”, I hear you ask.
For now you can connect through a desktop program, probably the best way in my opinion.
Windows Users: I suggest using Trillian or mIRC.
Mac Users: I suggest Colloquy or Conversation.
iPhone/iPod Touch Users: Colloquy.
Follow the guides for each respective program on how to connect and here at the details.
Server: odyssey.wyldryde.org
Port: 6667
Chatroom: #PixarPlanet
You will want to set your nickname. Your PixarPlanet nickname is requested for easy identification. To set it use the following command.
/nick nicknamehere
After 120 seconds you can register your nickname so no one can steal it.
/msg nickserv register passwordhere emailhere
Now whenever you login to the IRC you need to identify yourself with your nickname. Use:
/nickserv identify password
All of the above forums should allow you to set it up to automate the identify commands and joining of the server and chatroom as soon as you start the program up.
That’s about all you need to get started, do a Google search for more guides if you get stuck.
A web interface for chatting is coming, so fret not if it is confusing.
Happy chatting folks!
