Irc Chat Vs Site Chat?

Is it possible to join in on the site chat using an IRC client? I regularly use Chatzilla and Hexchat, and it is much easier to multitask using IRC as opposed to the Board's chat room. For example; when somebody types in a new message, the client icon is highlighted on my taskbar so I can see that there is a conversation going on. Also, whenever somebody types my name in particular, the program chimes and flashes to let me know that I am being addressed. It isn't a huge deal, but it certainly makes chatting easier for me, especially when I am doing several things at once.

 

One of the phpBB's I used to visit had this option, so I thought I would ask about it here. :)

I don't think this is possible because the chatroom is a separate app software IP Board created. I'm not sure what channel you would go on to access it through IRC. Sorry.

I've tried this a few times before and had no luck, but there *could* be a way somehow, but not too sure... Chauncey would be the best person to ask :)

To the best of my knowledge the IPB Chatroom is not compatible with IRC. If we're able to find an IRC based chat that can easily integrate we may switch, but at this point that doesn't look to be the case.
