Cantr Chat Channel

The Cantr Chat Channel is an Internet-Relay-Chat (IRC) Channel. A Java applet from the Cantr site is available here.

Alternatively, there are many, free to use, IRC clients available for download. The most commonly used is mIRC, although there are many others available such as ChatZilla(for use with Mozilla), XChat for both Windows and UNIX based systems, XiRCON for windows and ircle for Macintosh.

The server is currently hosted by GNUG. These are the details all the above clients will need:
Server: irc.gnug.org
Port: 6667
Channel: #cantr
Clicking here may also work if your client is set up with your browser.

For those not used to IRC irchelp.org is useful. Just remember to type:
/nick
followed by your desired nickname when you log on.

We will not tolerate excessive swearing on the channel, or any breach of the Capital Rule (See: Game Rules).

For reference, these are the server rules set by gnug.org:

       irc.gnug.org Server Rules -
       The server rules are quite simple.  Follow them and you'll have a pleasant stay.  Break them and you'll be gone. Nothing substitutes for common sense either. 
       The rules are:
       1.  No warez at all.
       2.  No fserves or xdcc at all.
       3.  No channels explicitly for pornography and no pornography in channels that prohibit it.
       4.  No war scripts and no trojans and no DCCing of any viruses or trojans.
       5.  No ban evasion.
       6.  No nick stealing or impersonating others.
       7.  No flaming of others.
       8.  No nuking and no clones.
       ircbot policy.  We aren't against the usage of bots in general.
                       However, please check with an IRCOp before bringing one onto
                       the server.  As a general guideline, no bots should be put
                       in a channel without first getting approval from the channel
                       owner/operators.
