if anybody is unsure how to join the channel, here are some instructions. this is for those who don't use IRC already; i'm assuming people who do probably have their own clients, which is why i'm linking to an online client.
1. realize that this idea needs some support in order to ever take off.
2. go to [
esper.net]
3. wait for it to start (may take a while depending on internet speed)
4. once it has loaded and you get the server welcome message, type (exactly) "/join #tnext" (don't include the quotation marks)
5. you should then be in the chatroom.
6. if you desire a nickname other than the generic one given to you by ChanServ, type (exactly) "/nick whateveryouwantyournametobe" (again no quotes).
7. that's it! enjoy!
8. if you feel enthusiastic about this idea, please stay connected all/a lot of the time. for this you may wish to download an IRC client. for windows a good one is mIRC, and for mac a good one is X-Chat Aqua. i don't know the links, so just google 'em. Linux users, you're on your own ;-). you should know, anyway.
