Does not work

Apart from that, it's great!

Why did you not go for a cd / cat based navigation style?
Wouldn't that have been even more fun?

u/aetios April 01, 2017, 11:20:43 PM

Good idea, we might consider that

awe... i can't post tho. Please fix @Juju

Well it's a fairly new feature, we'll need some time to polish it. It's here to stay, at any rate.

YAY!!!

Ok, once the bugs are kinked out, I have a suggestion:
Perhaps create a new theme for WalriIRC for the theme, perhaps making it a little more terminal-like?

u/Yuki April 02, 2017, 05:13:34 AM

I thought of that too, but didn't had the time yet.

Anyway, I'm back home, glad you liked (or disliked) this, I took all your suggestions and pushed new changes on the site.

that'd actually be pretty cool indeed, having a command-line style Web IRC, listening to commands like /HELP and stuff as well

But a lot of aork as well >.<

u/_iPhoenix_ April 02, 2017, 07:05:46 PM

That depends on how it is set up. I cannot find the source, but shouldn't you just be changing the color of the text, border, and background, then retexturing the buttons? Doesn't seem too hard

Btw even if this is a prank, we should make this an optional theme. All smileys and images should be either disabled or turned into ASCII art, though, for a more authentic DOS experience.

Also when an error occurs it should display something like a BSOD from Windows 98

u/Yuki April 03, 2017, 03:25:53 AM

I could theme WIRC so it looks like irssi or weechat, yeah. Otherwise, you probably recognized the standard VGA font on IBM PCs. If you ever installed Linux, this should definitely ring you a bell. The thing is totally different from a theme, and it uses AJAX and SSI.php, so I can't really make it a theme, but yeah, that'd be interesting.

On a side note, United-TI did a similar prank once, somewhere around 2006-08. They replaced their forum theme with a Commodore 64 one. It was not command line, though.

u/Dream of Omnimaga April 05, 2017, 04:12:08 PM

By the way, now that the prank is over, I moved the new interface link to the bottom of the page, right next to the "Browse website without images" link.
