Pirch 98 is my personal favourite out of the
clients that I have listed here. On this site you will find links to pages where you can
download scripts, bots etc., specifically created for Pirch. Lots of mIRC users
have moved over to Pirch98 for its user friendliness, and its nice look. It is a
nice one to start off with, as it is so easy to use.
mIRC is
the most popular of the IRC clients, maybe because it was one of the first ones out there.
All the things that can be done with Pirch, can be done with mIRC also, but it is
much more 'type' based commands.
Virc This is a fairly new client, but is growing in popularity. It has
the added benefit of allowing people to speak to eachother via microphones, but this is
only acheived when both parties are running Virc. A word of warning with this one,
it really takes up quite a bit of memory, so you need to have more than 8 megs to run it
well.
Ircle This one is for the Mac' users amongst
you. I don't know much about it, with using a PC myself, but a few of my
friends use it, and like it.
ICQ (I seek you) isn't
really a client for IRC, but is a very good way to keep in touch with your friends on the
internet. ICQ allows you to see if your friends are online. You can send
messages, have a chat, send files and much more with this program. It is well worth
downloading.
Which ever one of the clients you
decide to download, I hope that you will have many hours of fun chatting and making new
friends, and don't forget to come and chat with me sometime.
Here's how to check if you are a
chataholic. Follow this link to the poem, and see if any of the words apply to you.
