#Dreamhart IRC

Welcome to #dreamhart, an IRC channel for, by, and about otherkin.  Our scheduled Weekly Otherkin Chat begins at 8pm Eastern Time on Tuesdays, but the channel is open for use 24/7.

If you would prefer the convenience of a dedicated IRC client, you can use any IRC client to connect to irc.mibbit.net, channel #dreamhart. If not, a webclient is available on the chat tab above. If you would like a full-screen webclient, click here. An alternate full-screen client is available here.

If I’m in channel but not responding, try saying my username (jarandhel). I have an alert setup that should help get my attention, if I’m at the keyboard. It’s also possible I’ve stepped away for a few minutes, such as if I’m making dinner… be patient, and I’ll probably reply. You may also see another user, Faunus, inchannel. Faunus is not a real person, he is a bot designed to perform certain functions for the channel, so please don’t be offended if he does not reply to you. A reference to public commands for Faunus may be found under the Bot Commands tab above.

If you’re new to IRC, you may want to familiarize yourself with some IRC basics. If you’d rather dive right in, here’s a few tips:
To register your username (so that no one else can use it) type:/nickserv register apassword youremailaddress
The IRC server will send you an email at that address with a link to confirm your registration.
To identify yourself once you’ve registered a nickname, type:/identify yourpassword
To gain op or voiced status in #dreamhart, you have to have both a registered nick and have identified to it
