#Foote_Chat: It's Back, Baby!

Since the early summer, the old official IRC chat room for Buddy Foote's Blog v.2 wasn't touched, and therefore collected dust and was deleted from the SwiftSwitch IRC Network. But starting today, the official BFBv.2 IRC room, #Foote_Chat, is back, and is no longer on SwiftSwitch. The room features scripts hosted on my created Helper_Ent bot about Runescape such as a 330 question trivia game (hasn't been worked on since early summer, thus is outdated) and a 1,700 word hangman game (was just updated today with new Runescape updates, including the hunter skill). The room isn't just Runescape coordinated, however, and being that it's the official BFBv.2 chat, we can discuss the blog, its entries, the members, topics covered on the blog, and any real world (or virtual) discussions that have to...discussed. #Foote_Chat is the place for friends of the members of BFBv.2 to come and meet each other, have fun group conversations, and possibly even play team trivia. One thing is for certain though -- as long as you have Java installed on your computer, you're done with the setup to have access to this IRC room.

Steps to #Foote_Chat:

1) If you aren't there already, go to Buddy Foote's Blog v.2 (http://www.buddyfoote.blogspot.com) and wait for the blog page to fully load before moving the mouse cursor anywhere on the screen. To how you're reading these instructions and not being on the page at the same time is beyond me, but just for the joy of it, hit the refresh button.

2) Scroll down to the bottom of the page until you see this:



Gasp! A portal to #Foote_Chat? I do think so. Enter your name, and click 'Chat Now'!

3) Hopefully a new window will pop up. If not, check your pop-up settings. The window should look like this:



That's your entryway to #Foote_Chat, and now you're safely placed in the depths of the official Buddy Foote's Blog v.2 chat room. At this point you can chat in peace and harmony. But, let's go a step further and look at this edited picture:



Red Arrow = Register. Click this and enter a password (make sure it's unique, hard to guess, different, and easy to remember) and your e-mail. And this point, you have registered the nickname that you're currently using. Want to change your nickname in the channel before registering? Type /nick newnick to change your nickname. Purpose of this: So nobody can steal your nickname and we know who you are (for example, if somebody came in as Chase and Chase never registered that name, then we may think it's fellow blog writer Chase when really it's a guy from Sweden).

Dark Blue Arrow = Identify. Every time you enter the room a different time, click this and enter your password that you set for the nickname that you're using.

Light Blue Cross = Ignore this whole menu.


Now that this is all set, you can now chat! Enjoy yourself at #Foote_Chat today!
