N+ Chat Reborn

, , ,

How many of you knew we had an IRC chat? We do! Our fearless leader even wrote about it before, and we have a link on the front page to that post of his. Us frequent visitors to the chat room have neglected it as of late, and let it expire. Remco was kind enough to re-register the chat room for us. Why don't you all pop in from time to time?

If you're unfamiliar with IRC My Opera contains some excellent tutorials on how to use IRC, especially within Opera itself. Of course you're welcome to use a client of your own choice other than Opera. The easiest way is to follow a hyperlink straight to the chat room like this one. If you're using a modern OS (and a browser like Opera) your preferred IRC client should load.

Typically you'll be able to find either myself or G-Off on there, and eventually if we get a good enough crowd we might try to hold IRC-only events. Hope to see you on there.

N+ Chat Gets Some Visuals

Thanks to Remco we've now got a visual social diagram that updates in real time (every 10 seconds or so) of those in N+ Chat and the frequency with which they interact by mentioning names. Seriously, it's awesome.

Thanks Remco!

+Update: Thanks to Remco we've now got a visual social diagram that updates in real time (every 10 seconds or so) of those in N+ Chat and the frequency with which they interact by mentioning names. Seriously, it's awesome.

N+ has been growing quite a bit lately thanks to extra effort by our Moderators and Founders working to reach our 500 Member goal in time. We've been using all of the resources Opera has to offer (until the new MyOpera launches) except one: N+ Chat

Many thought it would be good to have an N+ Channel. So we created it! You can talk to N+ Moderators and Members @ irc://irc.opera.com/N+

This was prompted because yesterday the #MyOpera IRC Channel went live and it's been pretty popular. It's a place to go to get information about MyOpera, and for a little support on your MyOpera profile. Plus you'll be able to chat with some real crazy live Opera Employees.
If you are using the Opera Browser, #N+ will open as a new tab, pretty simple. Of course, you are free to choose your IRC Client. Please visit http://my.opera.com/chat/blog/ for help on creating a username, registering it, and more before posting questions.
