title says it all. how i just want a channel for me and my buddies

I don't think it can be done

i went a server and it said:We now have our own irc channel!

I don't think it can be done
It can.
I believe if you attempt to join a non-existent channel, it will create one.

To join a channel, open a pm window and type /join ChannelName.

I am not sure whether this has been patched, but I believe it worked last time I tried it.

Code: [Select]
      else if(getWord(%message,0) $= "/join")
      {
         //nope.
         return;
      }
No, Ephialtes didn't want it to happen/

This is still possible, yes.

You're looking at the wrong code.

Aren't we talking about the RTB's IRC client?

Yeah, its possible, but you wouldn't be able to do it on the RTB IRC that's built into RTB. The IRC wasn't made by Ephialtes, he just made the channel #RTB on irc.centralchat.net
You can make a private IRC Channel if you use a different IRC Connector, like pidgin. You used to be able to make a private IRC Channel with the chat command /join channelname but Ephialtes removed that command from the Blockland IRC.

Bottom line is: You can make one with something besides blockland IRC like pidgin or trillian (i prefer trillian). Oh, and no one can join the irc channel unless they use pidgin or trillian or something like that.

Aren't we talking about the RTB's IRC client?
Yes, we are. We can no longer make private IRC Channels nor join other ones with the /join channelname command because Ephialtes removed that from RTB's IRC client.

Start a private chat with someone, then type /join #channelname
This will take away #rtb's window, however.

Oh, really? Wow. That's a bug. But i don't see why Ephialtes took away the /join command in the first place. Someone said that he told him he took it away because people kept joining #admin. I really didn't see a problem with having a private IRC Channel with RTB's irc client.

Ephialtes has either purposely left it in or has just not fixed it, nor will it ever be fixed until a new chat is made:
