how do i keep the IRC screen up when ingame? I connect then it dissappears..

You should see the # sign in the upper right hand corner, just press that and the screen comes back up. When you want to minimize the IRC window again, just press the #. Easy peasy :)

Hail there anyone. Question ? What does " IRC " stand for ? And the above links chat rooms ?

Internet Relay Chat. It's a chat room for SR2.

I thought that's what it was when I used the ' link's ", what I wasn't shure of, if there was some kind of Giant sand box that everyone could fight.
So it's only a chat room/ meeting for what ever . Thank's vaaish

Discord server would be another good option next to IRC ...

it works in any HTML5 ready browser and overall it's better choice than Mibbit

IRC is an open protocol implemented by many different clients. This is what lets us connect to the same irc channel everyone else does from directly inside Star Ruler 2, for example.

Discord is a completely proprietary system that makes everything go through their servers, I'd be very wary of setting up anything on that.

while that's true (I'm BBS and telnet veteran, thus also IRC is in my blood)

what I mean is that You may setup community server on Discord just for chat
it's simpler and has better interface than IRC for normal users

God... that post makes me feel SO old.

I really really dislike Discord servers.

But yeah their IRC channel is dead it seems no idea why. Was on it about 5 or so hours ago. No longer connecting, and no one is in the linked IRC here. Tried the old IRC from original star ruler without anyone there either. Was really confused why the client IRC they're supplying in game was just closing immediately when it was just working. Even reinstalled the game a couple times.

nvm it is up now guize. we're good.

IRC servers crash sometimes, it happens. Should be back up now.

I've recently posted a link to a server in another thread: https://discord.gg/sUJKJDc

Technically it's just for one mod, but between #general-chat and #matchmaking-othermods there's plenty of room for the rest of the community... and I personally find it more convenient. (IRC doesn't store chat history as far as I can tell, and I can't keep the PC running 24/7, so...)

I will join, one day when Discord removes the 100 servers limit, because my list is full atm.
