[edit] Commonly vs. Sometimes
I was quite puzzled about this myself, but after asking the devs the official name is apperently X-Chat and not XChat, however the website says XChat and their internal documentation is never clear, sometimes one is used, sometimes it's the other.
While X-Chat is as i have been told XChat or xchat is a much more common way to refer to it, so i'm writing commonly here and not sometimes. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 17:35, 2004 Jun 12 (UTC)
- While I always spell it "X-Chat", you're absolutely correct about the spelling of "XChat" (though I've never seen it spelled "xchat", except maybe in lowercase filenames or similar). GPHemsley 04:29, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
[edit] "XChat" to "X-Chat" Move
Not that I object to it or anything, but I was just wondering who made th decision to do it. GPHemsley 08:21, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I took it upon myself to do so, although there was a brief but general concensus on IRC beforehand. As "X-Chat" is indeed the actual name, and is used as such in the article text itself, I didn't imagine there would be a problem. (Yes, it's commonly referred to as "xchat" conversationally; the same goes for "email"—it's a casual convention, but this is an encyclopedia.) Austin Hair 09:19, Jul 18, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Unofficial build homepage
The homepage of the unofficial build of xchat seems to be down. Anyone got informations on this? --Conti|✉ 19:48, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
- It should be known that silverex.(org|info) will go down periodically (if that's what you meant by unofficial – there are a number of sites offering xchat variants), but the host says it shouldn't usually last very long: minutes, not days. I think the machine is used for a multiple things and tends to attract the kind of attention that can knock it off once in a while. It's up now, though, and I call attention to it whenever I find it down (fwiw). — b0at 20:28, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- It's been pretty stable for a while; the above notice is probably obsolete. b0at 04:44, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Windows Builds (GPL) - Link down
The link X-Chat on Windows Build Lineup appears to be thoroughly down. If the article has a maintainer, s/he should check up on it and remove the link or replace it with something else.
The only existing arhive.org version of the page can be found here. -Mardus 03:08, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
