New Chat Widget - 11/26/2008 -
Posted by ThiefMaster
Since today we have something new for those of you who do not use a real IRC client or like to connect to GameSurge from school or work:
The mibbit IRC widget which replaces the Java applet on
http://www.gamesurge.net/chat allows you to connect to GameSurge without using any ports but the regular http port (80) which is open almost everywhere.
Just in case you prefer the Java applet, it is still available at
http://www.gamesurge.net/javachat.
For those who want to add the widget to their website: either you can link the one on the GameSurge site and pass channels via the URL (/chat/CHANNELNAME; e.g. /chat/gamesurge for #gamesurge or /chat/CHANNELNAME/DEFAULTNICKNAME) or you can
embed the mibbit widget on your site. In this case you should set the server to
webirc.gamesurge.net:6007 so people connect with their real IP (otherwise they might get glined for excessive connections).
