Here's a nice list of IRC Clients (over 40) for the Windows platform.

mIRC is superior in all regards.

True dat.

With that said tho my 600mb mIRC install (Scripts/Sounds ) is sitting redundant and I'm using X-Chat for the time being. Does the job really nicely, everything is custamisable, but theres a lack of scripts (which no-one NEEDS anyway, not the point tho...) as it's really a ported nix client.
Still, it works nice, definately my 2nd favourite to mIRC.

I use BX mostly..

 

[SPeedY_B]

I use BítchX now and then when i can be bothered to login to my shell, it just disagrees with multi-servers now and then, so i stick with a nice local windows GUI app

 

[madmatt]

I like /detach

 

[SPeedY_B]

Yeah, it's handy
The fact you can re-attach to an active irc session from virtually anywhere is great.

mIRC with Acidmax is by far the best IRC client you can get.
www.mirc.com (mIRC)
www.team-nexgen.com (Acidmax)

*****X and XChat are some good cross-platform alternatives.

Hey NetRyder you didn't give mozilla a plug.

 

[Geffy]

Got to agree with NetRyder there. I love AcidMax over mIRC, I have also tried the cygwin irc thinger, thats pretty cool, all text based though.

I would give Mozilla a plug, but I never used it.

 

[Kellog]

for a good alternative to mIRC you should try Klient
www.klient.com
....the sucky part is that it expires after 30 days.....but it's very nice work.

For mIRC scripts i think the following are pretty good:
PnP - http://www.pairc.com/
IrcN - http://www.ircn.org/
aIRC - http://aircpp.sourceforge.net/

 

[SPeedY_B]

Never saw the point in stuff like acidmax, isnt it just a load of scripts pre-loaded into mIRC ?

 

[oO ShifterZ Oo]

speedy_b ... i think so so is excursion its all base on mric i think. but i used acidmax b4 but i dont use it no more becuase i can pM ppl dont know y dats y im changing.

do u guys know any bots? like bots dat idle or greet ppl when they come to channel. u know

 

[Kellog]

Eggdrop bots are the best i think. Tons and tons of add-ons for them, so you can have them do pretty much anything and they're stable.

I would ... but I don't like Chatzilla.
I like the browser, and that's about it.
