I think Evolution should get a irc/mirc server chat. i Can get you this for free :)

The cost really is: one time payment of US$20.00, and licenses you to use future versions of mIRC as well.

But as i said i can get it free, so if you want it people i can get it...


About IRC

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is one of the most popular and most interactive services on the Internet. Sure, the Web is nice for finding info and E-mail beats snail mail hands down, but when you've been wondering 'where the others are?', then IRC is what you're looking for.

IRC is the net's equivalent of CB radio. But unlike CB, Internet Relay Chat lets people all over the world participate in real-time conversations. IRC is where the Net comes alive!

Using an IRC client (program) you can exchange text messages interactively with other people all over the world. Some of the more popular chat clients are mIRC, Pirch, and Virc for Windows and Homer or Ircle for Mac's. What program you use doesn't really matter; all of them connect to the same chat networks. When logged into a chat session, you "converse" by typing messages that are instantly sent to other chat participants.

Meeting people. IRC is great fun and you'll sure meet lots of interesting people and find nice spots to hang out! But, IRC is not something that you should just jump into without first reading up on it. You could feel very lost if you do not know some basic commands before you enter IRC, and you might not even know how to get out of IRC after that :o) So, we suggest you read some documentation (help files, readmes, FAQs etc) before you get connected to an IRC server, or it can be very frustrating for you when you get stuck. No worries, all info you need is available on mIRC's web pages and... mIRC makes things really simple!

Stuff from the IRC site...

Trialled IRC a while back, never really took off. Doesn't cost anything to set up a chat room either. Its just /j then anything that tickles your fancy.

Besides IRC is pretty dead. Haven't used it in years.

Irc is quite succesfull in many other big companies...

We're a company now? :S

Get back in line or I'll cut your salary in half :P

As Metallix said, IRC didn't really take off and anybody who wants to talk to anyone usually does it via pm/msn/whatever nowadays. Besides I haven't used it in years either and I'm pretty much over the whole chatroom phase

The demand for such a service is not apparant with our customers.


Uhh .. umm we're not a company, sorry :P

I didnt mean it that way...

I said many companies use it... And many other online communities do too... But its your decision so i guess its a no ;)

Why not "chat" here, make a new forum called chat.

I think that it's a good idea.
It's faster than the forums and the personal messages if you just want to have a quick little chat.
