I cant get into DCemu IRC either . Never have been able to because I always get the same msg -

Connecting...

Try a different server. Usually "irc.efnet.pl" & "irc.servercentral.net" work best.

In order to join a different server while staying in the one you are currently in, you could type for example:
"/server -m irc.servercentral.net"

If you would like to leave & change servers anyway, just type the "/server" command without the "-m"

If you are unable to change your nickname, that usually means there is someone else in EFnet with the same username you are trying to use, so try a different one.

That's pretty much all you'll need to know. BTW, color commands are with the "Ctrl" button, but those aren't allowed on #dcemu.

One thing to note is, not everyone is chatting in there constantly. So if you go in and you don't get a reply within 10 seconds it's not because people are ignoring you. :P

[Darksaviour69]

yes, its because they don't like you
