Excellent client. Wouldn't use anything less.

Agreed. This version actually performs extremely well - probably the most important feature for me.
Tony said 5:15AM on 6-05-2008
Agreed. Linkinus has come a long way since I first tried it a while back.. it's still the only one with proxy support which is a 'must have' when I'm on IRC at work.
I switched the embedded graphics off after a quick play last night - they're OK on a controlled channel but they can only be enabled/disabled globally and it it only takes some idiot to post goatse on a public channel and that's your lunch ruined :p
Loving the split screen though, and this version is much more solid, and fast too.

This is the first 3rd party software that I have bought in a long time, it is quite a nice client.

Interesting, they seemed to have ripped me off.
This is the theme I build for Limechat:

Pretty lame I'd say.

I don't know if I like the Whisper functionality of loading images
unless of course, they don't load unless you click something
Unless of course I could go into a room and find some links that will get you arrested, then post them, so you all have illegal images on your computer.
you dont have to use the theme
and I tipped them off, sadly they didn't name me
actually
the creator of whisper got mad at you
he didnt create it

I don't know why I'm called a liar. I made the theme for Limechat some time ago and put it up on their theme page at http://groups.google.com/group/limechatosx/web/themes on April 26th.
And this is not a rant about Linkinus, I actually bought it when it came out and found it a very good client. And the changes in 1.3 are pretty nice, too. I don't understand why they haven't contacted me, I would have given them the theme!

I personally think Linkinus is the best OS X IRC client. Sure, it costs $20 but our alternative is Colloquy, which while good, it's not great. Plus it just doesn't feel "finished".
Oh, and P.S. I have a Campfire theme you guys can grab here:
http://consumeroo.com/see/campfire-linkinus-theme
It supports embedded images and audio, although I've been lazy and haven't wrapped up video support.

thanks for the article, i didn't know this client, and although others are free, this one is the only one that really looks cool and "mac-ish".
So if i ever will have to use irc again ill buy this one.

At least Colloquy supports dcc chat which is more than i can say for linkinus, and yet I am supposed to pay for linkinus!!! What are you talking about Travis Bell??? Do you work for linkinus?
Colloquy is fine for casual users like me or sometimes I open irssi for some old CLI goodness.
@Jannis Liedel thanks for that post I have just checked out LimeChat which seems an attractive slim client. I will follow the progress of this one.

Tom said 4:50AM on 6-05-2008
Are you kidding? Yes it has DCC support.
afro frog said 5:20AM on 6-05-2008
No it does not support DCC Chat. Look it up Tom. :(
Peter said 5:38AM on 6-05-2008
It does, however, support DCC file transfer. I'm sure some people would want DCC chat, but filetransfer alone is good enough for most people I would think.

I have been using Linkinus for a while now and love it. I love the new features that were integrated. Highly recommend this application you can't go wrong for $20.
There are also SDK's for styles and plug-ins.

Linkinus is just awesome! I used X-Chat Aqua, Colloguy and other but Linkinus blows those other clients away :-)
