i finally started to deal with the world of irc recently.
i have tryed m(IRC) before and found it to be a huge and ugly peice of software.
i needed to contact someone on irc recently so i needed a client.
i found that i already had BitchX (http://www.bitchx.org/) on my firewall (a linux box) so i started using BitchX (http://www.bitchx.org/), and found that it is amazingly 'geek chic' and gorgeous.

BitchX (http://www.bitchx.org/) Features
Built-in ANSI color.
Ease of use. BitchX adds dozens of useful command aliases to reduce typing.
Built-in notify, protection, bot, shit, and user lists.
Built-in mass commands and tools.
Extended set of DCC commands and built-in CDCC/XDCC file offering.
Extended scripting functionality, including functions found nowhere else.
Huge installed user base, an abundance of scripts.
Built-in screen client, allowing you to detach and re-attach to an irc session.
I was wondering if anyone else had experiences with this app?
or if some of my research would be appreciated if posted here?
i am sure that i will be able to interpret some of the howto's here for use with BitchX (http://www.bitchx.org/), but as most of the posts are specific to m(IRC) sometime this can be difficult and confusing.
