Anyone up for a DU mIRC Live Chat during tonight's debate?

[Born_A_Truman]

In 2004, we had a DU mIRC chat during the Kerry/Bush debate, while still viewing and posting on DU and it was great!!!

Is anyone interested and willing to set up a mIRC DU room?

UPDATE:

mIRC chat will be http://www.mirc.com/index.html

Server: Newnet: various
Room: #DUdebate


Rec/kick for everyone interested.

1. What is this and how is it done?

[Born_A_Truman]

4. mIRC is a chat client

http://www.mirc.com/

I normally use Newnet: random server and then you set up a room.

5. Thank you for the link. Is this like a telephone where we talk, or like IM where we write?

I'm sorry. I probably sound dumb, but I've never done this before.


I can picture it now: I'm watching the debate with Mr. kt and Pitter-pat (we're raiseing our little buddy to be a Democrat,) Moderating on DU, posting on DU and then being on the mIRC. :rofl: I'm getting to be such a techie!
