    I just wanted to use it as comparison anyway. Happy IRC-ing then.

    Sure, Skype is way more demanding as being compared to webchat or even any IRC client.

    Fwiw, if you're going to be running a webchat IRC in the background, don't use Firefox because it has a bad habit of leaking loads of memory (which can, over time, lead to you not having enough RAM to run your games smoothly).

    Just use http://www.adiirc.com/ if you are on Windows. It has an extremely small footprint and is constantly updated (once a week or so) if you opt into Beta in the options. Hell it even supports mIRC themes and scripting now.

    ^ What that man said. I actually swapped back to adiIRC for just this reason.

    Safe, yes. Or we wouldn't be recommending it on these forums.

    Easy-to-use? Well, I figured out what needed doing with only a little fiddling around, so I guess? It's not an exact one-to-one translation between adi & xchat, but they have the same basic function so it's not that hard to work out what's what. If you decide to use it and run into serious trouble feel free to ping me.

    Did you make your own theme noburu? If 'yes' what are the differences?

    Yeah i have my slightly tweaked theme. I dont IRC as much as I used to though and it could probably be made a lot better.

    Heres is a download if you want to use it as a starting point:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38009065/NoburuAdiTheme.ini

    You will have to probably copy/paste the text into a text file.

    P.S. That link w/ my name was just a silly thing the dev made for me. I help test things out and report bugs.

    the first post in this thread has plenty of information, if you need any more help ping me on irc

    pinging someone is typing their full irc name, it'll send a ping sound to their client
