Any Irc users?

[evanrousso]

does anybody here use an IRC client, if so what is a good one to use for mac. I am using x-chat aqua right now and I am having a little trouble figuring it out.

I'm using Colloquy as my irc-client at the moment. It seems a little bit too simple for my needs, but it isn't bad. At least it's easy to use. I would appreciate some info of other irc-clients, too...

I use it daily and while it doesn't have all the usual whiz bang features implemented in the same way as other irc clients, it does what I want and more.
It's also updated frequently.

Colloquy is good, especially for newcomers to irc.

I am trying out colloquy and I have a question? How do I add servers to it. The servers that it offers I dont use.

 

[twistmac]

⌘+N, then type the server name.

use irssi,

to change windows (rooms) hit esc+num. so on linux when you are using irssi and you have 5 channels open, you would hold [alt or ctrl; i forget) then 1-9, etc. etc. But with irssi running in os x's terminal you just hold esc for 1.4 seconds then hit 1-9, etc. etc. to change channels. irssi > *

or use the whole /window thing in irssi too.

I use X-Chat Aqua and BitchX. The rest are a bit of a pain to use, IMO.

I'd love to see a good port of mIRC to OS X, but I doubt it ever happens.

Using Colloquy right now. very simple to use and free! Snak is also simple to use but is shareware.

I use BitchX as well

I used to use BitchX, but irssi is better, more scripts and things like that.
