IRC Tutorials

Posted by cro on Sunday 25 May 2003

Tonight will see the introduction of a series of tutorials for IRC users, similar to Undernet's "opschool", with the first being a basic IRC tutorial which starts today at 2000CEST/1900BST in #tutorial. These tutorials will also include an interactive Q & A session with the staff members present. We cannot stress enough that everybody is welcome to attend.

There will be various tutorials in different languages and to suit different peoples' abilities. Hopefully, provided we have enough people attending, these tutorials will become a regular QuakeNet event. So, for any people new to IRC and/or QuakeNet, pop into #tutorial and see if we can help.

Please log in to post comments.

Yeah, join us =)

#7 no good Idea ;) How are ppl asking their Q\'s there ??? (Thought I knew much about Q-Net but wow ;))

TDK|Terminator said on Sunday 25 May 2003

Great idea I think, it makes it much easier for people getting their questions than normally in #help. Also the way of helping is kind of easier I\'d say.

[PDK]Naz^^^^^^ said on Sunday 25 May 2003

hé hé :D type /list #tutorial (2000 user in #tutorial !!!)

BruXeLLeS said on Sunday 25 May 2003

BruXeLLeS said on Sunday 25 May 2003

hm nice idea :) could you set on, when a chan is +D that the useres can see how many ppl are on the chan in the status? and what is fishbot, what could he do, and in how many chans was it? :D

HollinG said on Sunday 25 May 2003

HollinG said on Sunday 25 May 2003

HollinG said on Sunday 25 May 2003

To help people which are new on QuakeNet is a very nice idea :) I\'m actually in #tutorial too and I must say that such a channel is a very good thing!

Great job helpers and staff. Quite some tutorial :D

surafisken said on Sunday 25 May 2003

How exactly can one ask a question whilst it is +m? Or am I missing something basic as I often do?

Trafton said on Sunday 25 May 2003

Invite only :-/ damn shame to miss this, and btw i have no clue what time that will be at in french local time :/

Scope|Swat said on Monday 26 May 2003

When is the Q - Request ready ?

SoX said on Monday 26 May 2003

*sigh* whats the point with a tutorial channel if its invite only :S

SsE-Stitch said on Monday 26 May 2003

Tutorial today?

BruXeLLeS said on Monday 26 May 2003

@ #26: Maybe todays lesson included chanmode +i :D

Kessok said on Monday 26 May 2003

Hm... nice for all people unable to use google... and that is really complicated!

CaBa said on Monday 26 May 2003

@ #26: LOL

CaBa said on Monday 26 May 2003

I hope for your sake you are all joking : the tutorial was yesterday (see the date, it says sunday) : perhaps you should pay a little more attention than just diving on in with criticism :)

Kryten said on Monday 26 May 2003

Indeed, it is a shame when people try to act clever and put down a good thing. I think it\'s a very good idea, and one which has proven to be successful on other networks. Good luck with it.

Mentality said on Tuesday 27 May 2003

[16:33:39] *** [#tutorial] Cannot join channel- You must be invited (mode +i) - Press F10 to keep trying to join

FST said on Tuesday 27 May 2003

I think it\'s a very good thing QN started working on. Though there are still some improvements to be made, well done staff! Too bad none of my questions got answered though...

dopeh said on Tuesday 27 May 2003

mhh I guess u won\'t have said at which time u can request Q ... wenn we need \"him\" =))

[leer] said on Wednesday 28 May 2003

Ok, I haven\'t checked it out, but it seems pretty obvious that it isn\'t open 24/7, and when there is NOT a tutorial going on, it is set to +i (invite only) - So why don\'t people use their common sense, rather than constantly pasting the \'invite only\' error message? :)

Mentality said on Wednesday 28 May 2003

Good idea! When is the next \"lesson\"? I like, even if I am a \"skilled\" irc-user. =P

r3Fl3X said on Wednesday 28 May 2003

Hmm...*I like IT* =)

r3Fl3X said on Wednesday 28 May 2003

I hope that a script lesson cames and somebody explains how to automaticly devoice/kick/ban users which use HLSW or away scripts ;)

TT|MarkTaylor said on Wednesday 28 May 2003

Sounds good even if I don\'t see the point of it. Hm actually, I see it but isnt #help made for these thingis.. And r3Fl3X you are not a skilled irc-user. ;-)

[OpTi]Ingerfara said on Wednesday 28 May 2003

#help has other functions. This is for the newest of the new users. Help people befor the ask the questions :)

Shorty said on Wednesday 28 May 2003

Wouldn\'t it be better if all Telekom users would be banned from this channel, cause their spamming, bots etc will disturb the audience...

BoBaFFeTT said on Wednesday 28 May 2003

Apo : 1. you don\'t know any T-Online user /me thinks . 2. You were never in any #tutorial lesson. 3. Else you would know that the chan is moderated and you ask Qustions via a Bot (called Tutor)

TDK|Terminator said on Thursday 29 May 2003

what kinda tutorial was this? kinda introduction in QuakeNets rules, services etc? or some advanced things? btw: does this login cancel the 40 days period of not using my Q account?

alder said on Sunday 01 June 2003

It was a tutorial for new users, teaching them to use commands like /whois and /mode but also telling them which channels they can join for help. About the login thing, I don\'t know if this counts as logging in.

Voronoi said on Monday 02 June 2003

just look for the Q and dont keep your bussy on shit like thate channel god damn it!

socke- said on Monday 02 June 2003

DAMN invite only :((((

[DCT]Curtis said on Tuesday 03 June 2003

commander_keen said on Wednesday 11 June 2003

It will be announced on the main page.

Abdul[Bp] said on Wednesday 11 June 2003

Hmm.. Anybody who knows when the system will be 100% finished? You know.. So i can change my Q-password from this page and so on...

Mejer140 said on Thursday 12 June 2003

I doubt anyone knows how long it\'s gonna take yet/what\'s gonna happen to everything. Just be patient, everything will be fixed somewhen.

dopeh said on Thursday 12 June 2003

NaiseR said on Saturday 14 June 2003

Thats cause they want to keep the room ;) It will be announced in the news when there will be a new Tutorial and then the chan will be aviable again ;) (atleast this is what I think)

TDK|Terminator said on Sunday 15 June 2003

X9-Spectre said on Wednesday 02 July 2003

this is a brilliant new feature, just hurry up with the logs of the channel so that a valuable source of RTFM is available.

keot said on Wednesday 02 July 2003

I think this feature is pretty good, tho it\'s not new since a lot of the other older nets have been using this for ages. But it had to come and it came and i hope it has helped some of the people attending them :)
