Join in on the fun!!!<br>
For informative and fun REAL TIME conversations with a number of the
<br>
carvers on "The List", come to the Woodcarver chats. We
don't always <br>
talk about carving, but if anyone has a question or comment, we can
get<br>
serious in a hurry. Get to know the people behind the names.
And bring <br>
you carving questions with you!!!<br><br>
We meet on Wednesday nights at 9:30 PM Eastern and on Sundays at
4:30<br>
PM Eastern.<br><br>
If you are NOT using an IRC chat program, I think you will like these
simplified instructions!!! Just click on one of the links
below...either will take you directly to #Woodcarverchat<br><br>

<br>
</a>This may take a LONG time to load!!!!!!! Don't give up.
When it finally does load, you will be asked to type in a
nickname.....then click connect, and wait a little bit longer. The chat
screen will open. Type something in the narrow horizontal space
just below the chat screen and hit you enter key. Nothing to it!
:)<br><br>
If you are using WebTV or still have trouble getting there, one of these
links will work...we just save them as a last resort in case all other
links don't work:<br><br>

http://stopover.ky.us.starlink-irc.org/cgi-bin/irc.cgi</a> (This
one will have the fastest connection)<br><br>
Type in a nickname where it says"nickname"i<br>
Where is says, "channel", type in #woodcarverchat (don't
forget the #).<br><br>
*******<br><br>
If you are using an mIRC chat program:<br>
1. Log onto your ISP.<br>
2. Open mIRC. You should see a box "mIRC Options". If
you don't then click on View then on "Options" Fill in
the information there...you do NOT have to put in your real name or email
address. For security purposes, make them up. Do put in the
nickname you want and an alternative. <br>
4. Click on the button with the sunburst icon, just to the right
of the button that says, "Connect to Server". Where it
says "IRC Network", scroll down until you see
"Starlink-IRC" and highlight that so it shows in the
window. There is also a Starlink network, so make sure that the one
you select has the "IRC" after it. Now click on the arrow next
to the IRC server window. That will list a number of Starlink-IRC
servers....select one of them. The Starlink-IRC random server will
automatically pick one of the servers for you, so you can use that
one. With one of the Starlink-IRC servers in the window, click on
<br>
"Connect to Server"<br><br>
If the Starlink Random Server is not in your mirc program you can add
it:<br>
Click the "add" button.<br>
Where it says "Description" type "Starlink Random
Server"<br>
Where it says "IRC Server" type IRC.STARLINK-IRC.ORG<br>
Port should be 6664,6665,6666,6667,6668,6669 (all of those
with no spaces between them)<br>
and "Group" is Starlink-IRC<br>
5. Once connected, you'll see lots of scrolling text. When
that stops, type <br>
/join #Woodcarverchat in the window
at the bottom and hit your "enter" key. <br>
(you need the / and #, and Woodcarverchat must be
spelled exactly right)<br><br>
