Hello all.
I've search the answer on this forum but can't find anything.
Thank you.

You are on the official unofficial forums.
You can probably join most of the actives users here or on (irc) freenode, #allegro.

The official page; AFAIK: http://alleg.sourceforge.net/

But no Facebook, no twitter account.

Some years ago we shared Facebook's accounts names. I still have some in my allegro list.

Anyway, welcome, and good luck !

I'm not that new actually (joined February 2003)
...but i was wondering about the best way to reach Allegro community with modern tools...

I didn't know about the irc channel.

Thank you!

The irc channel is the way to go. Don't forget that most of the users here have at least -6 hours of time difference from France.

Pas de problèmes, ça fait plaisir de voir un autre Français parler ici ^^

EDIT: BTW your depot entry is missing the Dll's which make it unplayable for those who don't even know what a dll is. That aside, a nice entry for a 45 hours compo.

You should start an Allegro group. I would but you need to have names to add to the group right away and I have no Allegro members on my friends list. But if you do, create a group, name it "Allegro Programmers" (Allegro is taken) and add some names to get it started, perhaps make it public and post the link to the group here as I am on Crackbook... erm... Facebook all the time. :)

I'll have to check out that IRC. Man, it's been like... 10 years since I last chatted on IRC, what software do you use to connect to IRC on Windows 7 these days? I used to use MIRC back in the day. Would love to get back into it again.

During the last speed hack, I saw someone using some web front end, so they basically had a tab in their browser.

I used Chatzilla, which is an add-on for Firefox. Didn't like it too much actually.

I actually like Chatzilla a lot, it was one of the main reasons I never switched to Chrome ;D

Use HexChat (unless someone knows better). I tried mIRC yesterday and it wants you to register/buy it.

I'm not really sure what the allure of IRC is these days though. A bunch of anon people talking about everyday stuff. It feels less personal than, say, ICQ, where's it's one-on-one.

Man I miss those days of being a kid and looking into a 60 Hz CRT and realizing you're talking to people all over the world. It was so magical. Like a BBS but in real-time.

I did what Neil said with the list I had.
Elias pointed an already old existing group ^^

I used to use ICQ (my number was 6 digits long for it), but kept getting spammed so dropped it. I'm honestly surprised anyone uses it still.
