Pakistani IRC channels ?

farouq_taj · Jul 27th, 1998, 06:29 AM

Does anyone know of any IRC chat channels where Pakistanis get together for a GupShup. I've searched www.events.yahoo.com and the channel listed there (#paknet) don't seem to exist anymore.

Thanks.

Farouq Taj.

Mukhtaar,

If you don't know the answer to my question then please don't respond.

Thankyou for your parental advice. If I need any I'll ask.

If anyone is interested in time management
have a look at www.tmi-uk.com . I attended the two day course about four years ago and have been using the time management system since.

Azad,

Thanks for listing some channels just what I was looking for.

Fraudia:

I was looking at my ISPs server no wonder I couldn't see any Pakistani channels. I've only just started using the IRC software supplied with my interent account.

I understand dalnet is irc.DAL.net port 7000.

I'll take a look at the channels sometime this weekend.

Ok.. you go look up those channels this weekend!

farouq_taj · Oct 29th, 1998, 04:18 AM

Nasir,

Not sure why you've revived this thread.

I did take a look at the chat channels around the original time of this thread.

I didn't find any of them particularly interesting.

Farouq,

Check
#pakistan
#urdu

in Undernet, Efnet and IRCnet, YOu can also use DALNet, but there are mostly people from Pakistan on DALNet and usually stupid conversation goes on there. I hardly go on IRC now, so I am not pretty sure what sort of people come on now.

This internal server error message was great, Thank God, I didn't try more than three times, otherwise, you would have seen 25 repeated messages from me only.

#Islamabad
#chickspot
(this channel is not really a chick spot I know how odd it might sound but it is Islamabad based and very happening place)
#ISBDons (kiddy I like it but)
#ISBTEENS (new but good)

#pakis-r-us

I only ever used to chat there. It's a smaller, exclusive group of people.

There's also #1pak which many guppies are familiar with.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! Remember those days caty?!

Pakis-r-us is basically a bunch of us hangin out together. Only 2 or 3 members (including myself) are from gupshup... This room has been around since 1998

1pak is more of a general gathering but with some small exclusive groups. It's a great channel to meet new ppl and hang out. Also, free entertainment is available in this channel via arguments

EfNET & IRCNet are the oldest Relay Nets. But the most popular is DALNet.

The oldest public channel is #chatzone

does anyone ever use effnet , dalnet etc? I learnt how to type on mschat when there was one pakistan room. Soon the chat went away and I moved over to gupshup. Dalnet and the rest never really did it for me... too many people and too easy to get flamed. I wonder whatever happened to the mschat program. it was pretty neat with all the wierd icons you had.

The current top 4 irc networks based on the # of users and # oc channels is as follows. Dalnet tops the list.

network users channels

1. DALnet 94055 37577
2. IRCnet 91378 46399
3. EFnet 78091 33976
4. Undernet 71323 3809

EFnet or Eris Free Net is the original and longest surviving networks of all. The main reason its not #1 is mainly due to Khalid Mardam Bay's mIRC. mIRC lists dalnet and undernet servers as defaults and thus new users automatically join those two nets.
Maybe Khalid dude is biased towards dalnet and undernet, who knows

.
Channel #pakistan on dalnet is now the biggest. But yah, efnet #pakistan and undernet #pakistan do exist as well. Dalnet attracts a lot of spammers and annoying "asl'ers".
While Efnet remains a "jungle" - only the strongest survive

Ive been coming to IRC for a long time, since 1996... The most popular pak channel on dalnet has to be #pakistan but then again, its grown so much and no longer enjoyable...

#chickspot -> Islamabad alevel students mostly, from beaconhouse, froebels, altavista etc... I knew the founders, they were from alta-vista Its grown pretty big too...
