For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

Are you connecting to the server first? Because you need to be connected to the server to send messages to the nickname server.

I think i got it to work. It was something with the serves i believe, so thanks for the help.
Anyway, I seem to be in the right chatroom as there are some recognizable names in the right menu bar.
Are the names there even if the user isn't on?

No Cataclysmic Crow. You have to stay connected for your name to be there. However a lot of people (Vreeg, SDragon, others) just leave there computer online and rarely log off.

Eladris

Looks like you were in the right place, CC.  I see you entering and leaving in my logs (I was asleep and am one of the aforementioned idlers who occasionally leave their computer on).

Nomadic

Well good to hear you're able to get on.

What do we do after the 30 day trial expires for the MIRC version that is provided for download on this page?

Or do we just register it (for free?)

LordVreeg

Old, evil, twisted, damaged, and afflicted.  Orbis non sufficit.Thread Murderer Extraordinaire, and supposedly pragmatic...\"That is my interpretation. That the same rules designed to reduce the role of the GM and to empower the player also destroyed the autonomy to create a consistent setting. And more importantly, these rules reduce the Roleplaying component of what is supposed to be a \'Fantasy Roleplaying game\' to something else\"-Vreeg

Registering costs money.

You can however continue to use it, it just means you have to wait two minutes (one minute each, for two screens to click a button on each) before mIRC is started up.

Nomadic

You don't have to wait two minutes. Yea mIRC is nagware but you have to wait 15 seconds for both button clicks (not 2 minutes).

Llum

I thought it was a minute for each.
