Disclaimer: This Chat-Room isn't affiliated with Digit or Jasubhai Digital Media in any way. The server on which #thinkdigit channel is hosted also hosts the official Neowin chat-room but we are not connected wiith it in any way.
I had previously seen a few thread on suggestions about startin a Digit Chat Room but it didn't turn out to be much of a success. So I have registered a chatroom on the Stardock IRC server. You folks can join it if you want. Here are the details :-
Server - irc.stardock.com
Channel - #thinkdigit
For those who aren't familiar with IRC and don't know how to use it :-
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of instant communication over the Internet. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication.

Here is a small tutorial on how to use an IRC Client :-
I am using X-Chat as it is the easiest to use client and you don't need to remember IRC commands for it.
It can be downloaded here.
Note :- X-chat is a shareware and is free only for 30 days. So instead you can download a free build(Daemon404 build) here. It is almost similar to the paid X-Chat atleat I didn't see a difference
The program is only 1.5mb and won't hurt dial-up users too.
Now once you have downlaoded and installed it you need to :-
* Launch the application.
*Click on X-Chat in the top bar
*Click On Server List
*Enter the information similarly as I have entered in the screnshot below :-

* Add a Network and name it as digit or whatever you want.
*Then Click on the edit button and enter the settings as I have entered in the screenshot below :-

* Click on Close and then select Digit and click on Connect in Server list and you are done.
Happy Chatting
Those who are facing problem or do not want to install IRC Clients you can directly enter the chat from here ==> *www.digitchat.uni.cc
Once you reach there you will logged in with the nick 'digit-annon'. Just type '/NICK urdigitid' to display your digit id as your nick.
Note :- You need to have the Java Runtime Environment(JRE) installed to use it.
The credit goes to ujjwal for making this Java Applet
P.S. ->
Please do not start a war on the IRC Client. If you like a particular IRC Client better than X-Chat you can happily use it and suggest it here but do not spoil the thread by pointing out cons of a particular client.
If moderators and admins have problem with the thread feel free to PM Me.
