Move community chat to gitter

[SirusDoma]

You may recognize me on chat.sfml-dev.org since 1 or 2 days ago as someone who always disconnected guy lol. I don't understand why it is hard for me to connecting to the chat while my internet is fine.

I would recommend to use http://gitter.im/ instead, how do you guys think?

Nope. The IRC server has been there for many, many years and people who hang out there use it because it's IRC. We won't be moving somewhere else.

If you have connection troubles, I recommend to use a bouncer, so you can configure the bouncer to maybe deal nicer with longer timeouts, while the bouncer stays always connected to the IRC server.

Ah I see, that would make sense to stay at IRC.
I will give it a try about bounce

But idk why my internet is fine, but having hard times to chat in IRC..

For a start you could also try an actual IRC client (e.g. AdiIRC) instead of using the webbrowser.

I'm not expert in IRC, barely new with this one haha
but it is strange that it seems i could connect to the chat without any problem on IRC Client

however, I prefer to chat over the browser, is there any alternative so i can chat in the browser instead using IRC Client?

Thanks in advance
