The Bell Tree IRC: Beginner's Guide

[KarlaKGB]

Best command ever: /whois Jubs

I notice some people connect via server@BellTreeForums.vhost

How does one go about getting the @BellTreeForums.vhost bit?

Is that not the web client?

 

[Jas0n]

Is that not the web client?

No, the belltreeforums virtual host is for staff only.

You can get vhosts. I suggest you do your own research on how. I've specifically told geekshed staff that if anyone not approved by me requests a vhost with the belltreeforums hostmask that they will be rejected though. As Jason said, it's for staff.

Nah, I wouldn't ask for one. No need to worry about that

Hey Jamie have you ever set up a BNC

Mirc doesn't handle BNC's very well. Usually you have to use a 3rd party client to get it working. I used ZNC.

 

[oath2order]

And ZNC works as an irc client too right?

 

[Caius]

I'm actually not sure anymore. It's been around ten years, and most bouncers don't work with mac, so I can't really walk you through it

HI, I've always enjoyed reading the forums but never really engaged. Everyone here seems quiet lovely and trustworthy. I've been playing since gamecube and play NL Daily. I have just started the hybrid farming and I'm interested in trading (Blue, purple, roses, blue pansies - and looking to buy or trade for purple pansies, black cosmos and carnations. The think is, I'm not sure, as much as I've read up, about how you do things here. I'm not interested in using irc I'd like to do simple buy/trades where you visit each others town (I assume my signature will be on this reply with friend code and town, won't it. Would that be the way to go about it, and if so, which forum? You have currency we aqiure through this site but can't we do regular exchanges or trades? Thanks for your time, Cubby (London)

Nobody really uses the IRC for Animal Crossing stuff. It's more of just a general chatroom to be honest.

You'll want to use the appropriate boards on our site if you want to do trades(Train Station for trades). If you buy or sell any of your flowers you'll want to use the Retail board.

Someone requested an IOS guide on irc. I have an Iphone 5, and the app I use is Limechat. It works on Iphones and Ipads if I remember right, and I don't believe it's free but it's super cheap if it's not.

Hiding under a spoiler because these are huge.

Spoiler: Limechat

Here's my homescreen. Limechat is the green icon. Tap to continue.

So here's the main server page. I deleted geekshed already to get this rollin. We'll just ignore the other two servers and go ahead to the top corner and click "New Server"

Fill in information. Click "New Channel"

No password required. Click to continue after filling out #Belltree.
You're gonna want to go to Advanced Settings if you're using a username that requires a password.

You can fill out your username and password here. It's easier if you do.

Slide the slidey dohickey to start connecting. It takes forever to get on geekshed, so be patient.

Once it's connected, click the channel name and you're here. Happy mobile use.

What are all the commands?

 

[Caius]

There are no commands on mobile.

[Caius]

Well what commands are you looking for? Mostly all the general commands are in the thread somewhere.

Urhh I did all the guide at mIRC session but my connection still failed as it stated as (dns pool) and (timed out) ><

 

[oath2order]

I DID IT.

My BNC is finally working

DNS Pool means the server isn't accepting your port. You may have to forward your port. (6667)

I left my channel (#cewlkidsclub) to check the BNC and I lost my OP status when I left. Is there a way to get it back?
