So, i want to create an IRC, specifically a text based IRC for me and my friends to talk. I've never used IRC in itself, but it would make it better for group chats, since skype is gross and resource intensive, and teamspeak isn't quite what i'm looking for. How do i create one? Where?

Thanks in advance, i'll rep anyone who helps!

If it's gonna be a private server for a few people then you could host it from home
You will need an IRCd a popular and easy to setup one is [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You could also install services which will handle user accounts, channels etc. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] those are again some popular and easy to setup ones.

Thought I might add this, you might be better off just joining an existing server and just create your own channel there and put a password on the channel or make it invite only.

I've used MIBBIT, so far, but i don't like the full browser based chat. I use Pidgin, like so

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

But i don't know my info. I have #MNNchat as a room and me registered.

Suggestions?>

Use mIRC if you use windows, it's the best IRC client there is. I'm guessing your new to IRC?

Lol it can be at first, been using IRC since 1998 and been running my own server since 2009
Get mIRC it's great and free and only turns into nagware after the trial ends but you never have to pay for it.
