...FROM IRC??? On the server that lets you get onto the FOG channel, I have been unexplainably banned from it. Why??? (NO stupid answers, please, although feel free to make sensible suggestions).

You can customise it yourself, change colours, add images...but it'll act like any other windows program, so if you get a Window Manager (analogX have some, I think..), you can skin it. Pretty, heh =).

Yeah, it does look rather "dull" when copared to MSN... but I've heard you can change the appearance with new skins downloadable from the internet.

Well I am in and am completely amazed at how busy it is, mind you, it is better when its not completely full up otherwise it would just get too busy. Mind you, MSN still whoops it :P

I would be in there too, if it wasn't for the server's strange "masks" on certain locations.

www.mirc.com/get.html - download mIRC 5.91t, 32-bit version.

Install it, run mirc32.exe, and fill in the basic details in the box that comes up. Ok that, then type in the status window:

/server atlanta.infinity-irc.org
(wait for it to connect)
/join #fog

and gaze in wonder at the idleness..

Download mIRC at www.mirc.com, and that's all you need. And some space on your hard drive, of course.

Yep, that's the one. But why would they do this? *breaks down, sobs and falls off chair*
