I think it would be a great if we had an area where we could go for a fast answer or just to chat. :)

[Easiest and quickest way]
Click the following link, enter a Nickname, and hit Go! :) - http://mibbit.com/?server=irc.efnet.net&channel=%233dfxVoodoo

If you do not have an IRC client and the above URL did not work for you, follow these steps.
1.) Go to http://mibbit.com/chat/
2.) In the IRC: field select EFNET [webirc]
3.) Enter a Nick: (probably what you use here so we know who you are)
4.) In the Channel field enter #3dfxVoodoo
5.) Click Go and Enjoy! :)

OR if you are familiar with IRC the details that you would need are:
• Server = irc.efnet.net
• any port other than the default
• Channel = #3dfxVoodoo

Hmmm, would anyone bother posting anything again in the forum ? But at least it would clear out some of the chaff (mainly mine ;)). I think some stickies would also be neccessary for this to work also.
See you there tommorow  :)

Hum... I should be there too  :)

I think this thread should be STICKY'd.

I tried but did not work :-/

What program did you use?  The info Rotten provided is all that you need.... other than your own username.   :P

I tried out a free open-source program called Pidgin (multi-IM + IRC) and it works great!   For Windows, MAC and Linux/UNIX.

http://www.pidgin.im/

Supported chat networks:

    * AIM
    * Bonjour
    * Gadu-Gadu
    * Google Talk
    * Groupwise
    * ICQ
    * IRC
    * MSN
    * MXit
    * MySpaceIM
    * QQ
    * SILC
    * SIMPLE
    * Sametime
    * XMPP
    * Yahoo!
    * Zephyr

I did not use a client. I followed the first part of instructions, I thinked it was enough...

Does it seems I must use a client than? :-?

I just tried with the first part too.  I got in no problem.

first box = EFNET [webirc]       <---- look in the drop down list

second box = your_nick

third box = #3dfxVoodoo

click GO button

To simplify - http://mibbit.com/?server=irc.efnet.net&channel=%233dfxVoodoo

Enter a Nick Name and click Go!  8-)

Thank you guys, but I am unable to join the chat for some reason.

I will try with a client :P

Are you blocking any Educational IP addresses?  I saw with PeerBlock that the server you end up connecting to, is an University of Michigan IP address.

I use mIRC, and have been for years on #Quakenet :)
Although nnscript add on confuses me no end.

There already was a 3dfx related IRC channel. IRCnet | #3dfx

Those who want to use webchat - http://webchat.xs4all.nl/ and use the following settings like in this picture

I think this is a good idea and setup an account with this but realistically, with everyone spread out all over the place, I don't see a need for this really. If there was more then say 15 active members, it would be a great idea. Now though? Who knows.  It is good to have options though.    :)
