Welcome back.

I know I mostly lurk these days, still I missed lurking

I think Mibbit might suit... see here. I've seen several people on the irc using it.

Yeah, that's what I use. No plug-in or shit like that to worry about. When I was using it extensively, I did discover it didn't like Opera very much, kicking me out whenever I went idle for a bit.

Hey C_R I use Opera's inbuilt irc client. Did you know it had one? I ask because I only sort of found out by accident.

[CheeseRedux]

Yep, I know about the Opera irc thingy. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but when I first started the thing, it wanted some sort of registration or account setup. I try avoiding that sort of thing whenever possible, so I just abandoned it and stuck with Mibbit. (Not that I have any clue about how Mibbit hold up against other irc clients. It was the one I was steered towards, and it has the overall structure or umbrella or whatever the technical irc term is for the chatroom we we using at the time as default. {Which means that in order to get to #oolite I must either click on a link for the chatroom and then tell FF to parse the link through Mibbit, or go directly to Mibbit.com and then change something which I've not bothered to find out how to change, because going directly from Mibbit.com to #oolite leads to a decidedly empty place.})
