irc wouldn't require any server space, so that would be good for SSA,

out of the top networks it looks like efnet might be our best bet

I would say let's set one up on efnet. #SSA.

What can I help with? And how do I get set up?

I don't have time at work right now to go through the setup, but it's pretty easy. If no one has done it by the time I have time tonight, I will go ahead and get it setup.

I'm in the channel right now...

download mIRC and go from there...once it's installed there's a bunch of fine tuning to do

i can't really remember all of it off the top of my head because you set it up once then forget it

if you get mirc open...type

/server irc.SHOUTcast.com

once you log in you type

/nick (your desired nickname obviously)

/j SSA

I need some screenshots to understand

I tried setting up mIRC a while ago but never figured out the config process...maybe this time I'll get it.

damn...that takes effort

i'll start a thread in VIP, i just feel that this shouldn't be in here, might get SSA in trouble, so if anyone wants needs access that doesn't have access to VIP just hit me up on AIM

Been awhile since I posted in here.

I just burst out laughing when I saw your ava

I will post a how-to if I get time tonight.

And for those interested, don't download mIRC. Google SysReset. That is assuming you wish to share your files as well. SysReset uses mIRC but comes with additional configuration options that will allow you to share your files with others.

vladd: Consider adding a password?

Why don't you guys just use Pirate Bay?

I think we need a way to cover our own asses personally. I'm all about contributing and helping but for the sake of the site and the members here, we need to be very careful as to who gets invited and what not. Don't want to end up like oink or tv-links

Guess I'm missing something.

Mark,

The reason I don't use Pirate Bay is that a lot of DMCA notices come from there. PB also has limited selection (compared to what I'm looking for) particularly when it comes to lossless audio. Now, we could upload our stuff to PB and just direct members here to the torrent files, but I personally don't care to use a lot of my bandwidth on uploading to people who aren't in SSA if I don't have to.

Guess I'm missing something.

What part?

Just read the blurb on OiNK... and understand now..

On a semi-filesharing note, I got my Zune today that Lukas sent up for me. 30GB for $100 is a steal of a deal for this piece of equipment. Sure wish it supported lossless, though.

I guess you guys are aiming more at tunes than anything. When I go ARRR! hunting its usually for movies, but Miriam pulls down the odd song or two..

What is "lossless"?

there is now a password as well

"compression" format that is not lossy, in other words, does not remove any information from the source.
