NZFurs Chat forum: New to town

Umm... hai there kiwi furs, quite new here to the NZFurry community. My name is Karl, 18, and I live in the Coromandel, in an area in which I'm the sole furry. Quite lonely in real life and shy too, but have plenty of online friends, and I'm keen on meeting a fur in real life and attending this years FurcoNZ.

If theres anyone who wants to help me fit it, you're free to do so. I would really appreciate it and would be very happy to meet you furs. ^^

Welcome to the community If I was in the area, and not new to the community myself, I would try to help more. We also have an IRC chat, and many of us are on steam. So yea welcome and feel free to join us on IRC, Ask the others for more info, and if you have steam and want to chat feel free to add me: voicedotter.

So yea. Enjoy the community.

Aww thanks for being so welcoming Vance. Its a pleasure to meet you. :3

However, I'm completely unfamiliar about IRC and I cant get around on how to register. How do I do so? Do I need some special program? It would be really good if you could help me.

Oop, time to switch to XT already! (Network gets turned off in a month or so)
But welcome. To get on IRC, grab xchat-wdk from http://www.xchat-wdk.org/home and install, then do "/connect irc.furnet.org" and then "/join #nzfurs". (The network is irc.furnet.org, channel is #nzfurs)

Yeah, guess I gotta get a new phone soon. ^^;

Is it possible to join the IRC on a Mac?

uh sure, try http://colloquy.info/

Says I need OS X 10.7 Lion, but I'm still on 10.6. I've got Windows XP installed on this machine too, so I'll try to use that. :3

*Also hugs*

We are a welcoming group of people.

Indeed you guys are. Thanks.

Uh, you could try 2.3, there's a link to the older version that runs on older versions of OS X on the download page.

Thanks dude. I'm up and running now.

*bigger and better hugs that are around 20% cooler c:*
