How to create an IRC backchannel?Wednesday, October 10, 2007 by Dave Winer.
But it can't be that hard, right? Let's see if we can figure it out. If you have a clue, please post a comment here. Okay, here's a clue from the mirc faq: "A channel is automatically created as soon as the first person joins it. If you join a channel and you find your name as the only one there, you just created that channel. Channels on IRC are dynamic in the sense that anyone can create a new channel, and a channel disappears when the last person leaves it." Okay, so I logged onto a channel whose name I made up. |
