The #mofirc army wants you! Yes, folks - it's that time again. The IRC wing of Monkeyfilter, unofficially known as the "mofircers", wants you! Yes, you! Now! Join, or ... just join!

Imagine instant communication with the people behind the most disorganized conspiracy ever! It's like having friends inside your head, without medication! You might even get to chat live with Monkeybashi (and you cannot beat that with a stick - not even a really big one!) For more information on software needs and how to get connected, visit our page on the wiki: http://wiki.monkeyfilter.com/index.php/Mofirc. It'll be the most fun you can have and still be legal and not having sex. Yeah, I got mad ad-writing skillsz ... they were just hiding today

  • We don't get to have sex in the channel anymore?
  • We are not the most disorganized conspiracy ever. We just haven't reached a consensus on the secret handshake yet.
  • You might even get to chat live with Monkeybashi Oh, I always wanted to do that! /joins
  • #Mofirc cured my rash! But I contracted it there, so really, it was the least they could do.
  • YO, I know i am exposing my ingnoramosity, but i have no idea what this is. Could someone please x-plain?
  • You might even find old timers who don't hang out at mofi much these days (or anywhere, actually) like me there!
  • what Berek said...
  • IRC is like a big group chat. You log on, and there can chat with other members logged on. Mofirc is a "room" where monkeys log on to chat with each other. If you have software for ircing (software noted on mofirc wiki page) you ask to connect to #mofirc.
  • *physically restrains hand from firing up IRC client* I don't have self-control. I spend way too much time on the net already. Sheeez. One day, monkeys. When I have some free time. *logs off*
  • *waves* Hi, Richer!
  • One of the easiest ways to join the 'firc is probably to get Firefox, then get the Chatzilla plugin. There's very little tweaking and commands involved for Chatzilla. After you've installed it, restart Firefox and click on the "Mofi IRC Channel" link that's on the sidebar.
  • Pfft! Some of us have our OWN Cabal and we communicate using carrier pigeons and getting talk-show hosts to broadcast our thoughts in CODE. Analogue RULES - you DROOLS.
  • I've said it before and I'll say it again: There is no Cabal. It's a Cartel.
  • *quidnunc to letterman - give order to kill wendell in coded dialogue with paul shaffer*
  • Give me your address quid, A deal's a deal.
  • No way. The last time I logged in someone tried to ASCII pee in my mouth.
  • I only go on #mofirc when I'm drunk, and I haven't been for a while. Maybe it's time to change that...
  • Come! Join! Share! Now! The Werzog commands you!
  • Is it just me, or does that page not mention what server/network the channel is on.
  • I must irc. Sadly, I do not.
  • Hamhed: irc.slashnet.org mct: awwwwww, c'mon! pleeeeeease?
  • I know, I know. But I can't from work. I'll have to try when I'm not working on the house. Also, mothy, I am happy to report that Italy is a front runner for our Euro vacation this fall.
  • based on my few chatroom experiences, mofirc would suck up a dangerous amount of my time...but it sounds super fun!!! /tempted MCT, GO TO ITALY!! mr. medusa & I were there last fall (didn't realize at the time that's where mothy lives :( ) if you want any ideas or suggestions re places, pop me an email.
  • By the way, dropping by once for a quick visit does not constitute having joined. We expect repeat visits, repeatedly. ie., Wendell, we know where you live ... Los Angeles, I think ...
  • Could be Sheboygan ... I'm pretty sure it's this continent. Definitely maybe this planet ...
  • planet wendell. the saucer is coming. don those nikes!
  • Yay mct!! And Medusa, come back and visit again soon! There are a couple of new people in channel hurrah!! More! More! *claps hands excitedly*
  • Yeah, limited by the fact that this is all work-based. But with me leaving the old place, computer under arm, I may once again have home access. And then I'll start downloading stupendous amounts of pr0n mofircing with one hand.
  • That's the spirit, Capt! And don't worry, there's plenty of pr0n intelligent conversation about pr0n a vast range of erudite topics in the 'firc (sometimes involving tentacles pr0n)
  • I tried to join moforc but I failed. yes, I am drunk but somemonkey help me, I want to firc but I cant make it work :P
  • IF you are running mozilla or firefox, download chatzilla. Restart your browser adn then click here.
  • I have gmailed you, Medusa...
  • We better make sure the place is tidy....
  • It's mostly tidy. Mostly.
  • don't clean up for me....thanks for the hope coriolisdave :)
  • The 'firc is a fine place. Much better than the OC or the 'bu, which are full of 'tards.
  • MonkeyFilter: I want to firc two . . three . . kick . . .
  • We are fircing baby! Right now! Drunk-fircing is not good for your health. But it can be entertaining....
  • gomi dear, you'd think I'd already learned my friends-don't-let-friends-post-drunk lesson with the whole medusarita yes-I-really-peed-in-a-dude's-mouth debacle...but nooooooooo
  • You say debacle, I say tracicle
  • The first rule of firc club is that you don't talk about firc club. Kinda like vegas. Um except if someone posts it to the lj community
  • I feel much better today, hooray! Did you get into the firc in the end, Medusa? I missed you.
  • awww! munkiebashi missed me :) really, I was rather drunk and couldn't type very well but coriolisdave was kind enough to email and offer help. I got it all hooked up but don't know how to setup my nickname or username thingy... and I am suposed to be some technology person!
  • I firced!!! only dusty and (sort of) elise were there to welcome me, but i'll be back to waste time with you all after burning man!!!
  • Time to bump this to the sidebar again, given our 8000 members and de-lurking lurkers. Come chat with us in #mofirc! If you've never used IRC before, don't worry, it's really easy. One of the most user-friendly ways to do it is to get Firefox, then download Chatzilla, then use the Mofi IRC Channel link on the front page sidebar here. If (when!) you log on, don't be put off if we're all being quiet. There's a lot of lurking in the 'firc - in fact most of us are just logged in all the time even if we're temporarily busy doing other things - but please hang around and chatter will happen soon! Also, long-lost fircers, we miss you! Get your arses back to channel! You know who you are!
  • and if you are disinclined to download software google for the following words "irc slashnet java" and you can access us through slashnets java doojobby. and i'll second the call for absent fircers to come home
  • What do I download if I'm on Mac? Donwanna download no Firefox.
  • Try Colloquy, Capt.
  • Get a PC!
  • I always thought "mofirc" was some kind of mock meat, like "tofurkey."
  • Umm, I downloaded Colloquy, but I don't know what to do from there. Forgive me, I was an arts major.
  • There's a tutorial here. You'll see that there they have you using irc.freenode.net. You'll want to use irc.slashnet.org. Once you've connected to that server, you'll have to join a room, which in this case is #mofirc.
  • All #mofirc all the time! 24 hours a day!
  • One of us! One of us!
  • I think, although I may be wrong, that once you have Colloquy installed, you just click on the MoFi IRC Channel link in the sidebar, and it should do the rest for you.
  • LOLchA+X0Rz!
  • Come into #mofirc and say that petes!
  • Yeah, you mofircers! I am planning a playlist and jingles for Radio Mofirc, honest! My broadband still sucks though. When's a good time to broadcast?
  • I tried to sign in last night, but it took a long time and I did something else instead. Too bad for YOU guys!
  • Please try again Nickdanger! Don't give up! muteboy, I'm not sure what state the radio is in at the moment, I think there were some royalties issues, but I'm not sure. Come firc anyway :) And it was lovely to see TUM, and minda25, and HawthorneWingo, and bone, and mct and everyone else! Come back soon now, ya hear?
  • mothninja is the #mofirc marketing director. (Doing a good job of it, too.)
  • New-customer testimonial: "#mofirc is the most fun you can have with your legs crossed!"
  • And Thursday is No Pants Day! woo!
  • Oh snaps i forgot... /me removes pants.
  • Color me red. I thought every day was No Pants Day.
  • Oh! I thought it was "Mo' Pants Day" and I put on an extry pair!
  • english pants or trousers pants?
  • We've decided it's both or one or the other whichever you prefer. And oddly enough Lara is right, every day is No Pants Day but Thursday's are officialy No Pants Day.
  • which day is lederhosen day? speedo day? i need specifics!
  • I'm in the middle of No Pants Life.
  • We're big pants people! /Kevin Meany
  • Hah?
  • Nothing better shows my taste than what I wear below my waist! Pants! Pants! Sing the praises of pants!
  • She was a dirty girl Some say she was a flirt All the boys loved her For her mini-skirt But the thing that made me Want her, made my manhood dance Was when she slid into A pair of leather pants (pant, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants) One day she asked me over I'd didn't know what to say If she was wearing those leather pants I'd lose it right away When I walked into the kitchen She gave a little dance And said to me slowly "Baby, help me lose the pants" (pant, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants) I'd give you all the details But a gentleman never tells I've give you one little hint Yes, I'm going to hell We tried to keep it quiet Not to cause any rants But I heard a little rumor That the neighbors heard our pants (pant, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants)
  • Come play werewolf with us! Cortex has a werewolf irc server, and you can play through your browser! It's teh awsom! CLICK HERE NOW!!!
  • Actually, it's now on hold. A bug has been detected and we're waiting on a restart. But keep checking in, because it's seriously fun.
  • I've been chatting on IRC in various nerd groups for a decade, and have no idea what a werewolf server is. Please to explain...
  • OK I just joined. Except I don't know what werewolf is. Help?
  • Werewolf is a game that involves werewolves and villagers being eaten and lynchings. I've been killed three times today, once by werewolf bite, twice by lynchings (though one of them was justified). I think the server's still down. The bot that runs the game is basically in alpha right now.
  • It's night time.
  • What happens if the seer is killed?
  • The game continues until either the werewolf/ves are toast, or the villagers are. If the seer is killed, no one knows except for the moderator.
  • That's where it can get nasty too, because the werewolf can claim to be the seer, and blame a villager. That way he can kill two in a single round.
  • Seems like you don't need a dedicated server - just an IRC channel with a moderator and PM-ing ought to be enough, no?
  • Right -- I misspoke there. It's not a whole server just dedicated to the game. It was their existing server, and they're hosting a channel on it just to play werewolf. The game is moderated by a bot they're developing -- that's the part that's in testing now. You have to use the web client because by some weird twist it won't accept remote IRC client connections right now.
  • And cortex informs me it's back up now, so.
  • No workee for me. AhhhOOOOO!
  • I'm either too lazy or too stupid. Not sure which.
  • lupid!
  • stuzy!
  • lupine?? AROOOOOOOOOO!
  • Eh... I get nothing. NOTHING.
  • I don't want to know about this for another 2.5 weeks.
  • The werewolf game is fun.
  • I should add it's not running all the time, as sometimes they're doing other stuff or simply don't have enough people to play. Just stick your head in and see if anyone wants to play. More players == more werewolves == more fun.
  • I reread the werewolf instructions, and I think it's worked its way through my dim brain. I may just try it tonight.
  • Is anybody else having trouble using the client with firefox?
  • At least one other person has reported FF crashes. Dunno what the problem is. Hopefully when they get the bugs out of the bot, they'll put it up on slashnet.
  • Werewolf? I think I saw him over there. *ducks flying tomatoes*
  • Don't be ridiculous. There's no such thing as Werewaoooooolves!
  • Are you guys still doing this?
  • I didn't have a problem with firefox last night.
