Live Chat/IRC Guide for ToonTownCentral.com and VMKForums.com

ToonTownCentral.com and VMKForums provides access to a Live Chat area for our users to discuss game strategies and interact with other users of the forums. We do this through a java client that connects to the Gamesurge IRC network. Gamesurge.net is a gaming IRC network. Because our Live Chat/IRC is hosted through another owner not affiliated with us we continue to have strict policies on content and access. We strongly suggest that you only frequent the channels provided by ToonTownCentral.com and VMKForums.com and if you chose to join other channels please be aware that we do not allow advertising of those channels within our own approved channels.

Accessing Live Chat/IRC

There are many ways to access the Live Chat but for most users it will be thru the Java chat located in the Live Chat box on the home page of each site.

Events are things that happen in the channel besides the normal chat. Events are usually denoted by a change in the colour of the text in the window.

Actions or Emotes

Actions or Emotes are shown in purple colored text. When you type something to explain that you are doing something rather than speaking that is considered an emote or action.

For Example:

To pretend to hit someone with a trout type:

/me slaps Pudgey around with a large trout

It will produce this:

silly_zanny_boing slaps Pudgey around with a large trout

Joins, Parts, Quits

People entering or leaving the channel will be displayed as

Pudgey (~pudgey@203-30-124-238) has joined the room

Pudgey (~pudgey@203-30-124-238) parts the room

Pudgey (~pudgey@203-30-124-238) has quit

Nickname Changes

Nickname changes are also displayed as green text. To change your nickname once you are in a channel, type /nick .

For Example:

Pudgey wants to change his name to Daffodil. He would type:

/nick Daffodil
