Real quick announcement about IRC

[Lord Raven]

This isn't official or anything so don't take it as that

Basically, we all know IRC is inactive etc.  Stay around for maybe 20 minutes and judge instead of instantly.  Because then more people come in, think its inactive, then leave instantly as a result.

One more thing:  feel free to alert me if I'm on.  If I'm AFK then I won't respond for a few minutes.  If not, then I will respond within seconds.

Hopefully this can solve the minor issue of inactive IRC.  One step at a time people!

Muhed, is IRC audio or text? I hate my accent.

In 2010 it was text, and that is what I prefer.

[Lord Raven]

IRC will, as far as I know, never change from text.

[NTN]

I am asking this because I went on IRC in this year, and when I posted my message in text, there were no replies and it was ignored. So it must have been audio and actual chatting, without text.

[Turner]

IRC is like multiplayer notepad, it's all text.

I used to idle a little bit but neglected opening my client every day, I'll set it to start up automatically when I turn on my PC.

Oh nonononononononnonono IRC was full of drunks when I got there. Never going back to that place again... they harassed me on IRC. I was called stupid as well as many other names. And you what they did?! THEY CALLED ME FAT.

Are you definitely talking about our IRC? IRC just stands for "internet chat relay" and it's a feature a lot of websites have - if you signed onto ours, the one linked at the top of the site, and people said that to you then this is a very serious issue and we need to tackle it! But if you had that experience on another site then I'd say don't let that put you off all IRC channels, I'd be very shocked if anyone here would say anything like that to you ^^

[Lord Raven]

Just chiming in to say no one was drunk and good conversation was had yesterday (even though I got ranty, I was excited that there were people in chat!)

Let's keep this up guys.

[That Girl in the 'Roo Suit]

I'll be popping back on when I'm not quite so busy. I might pop on my phone momentarily, in which case you need to just be patient, I won't reply instantly

@Lord Raven

Are you really on IRC? You seem quiet. Is it because there simply aren't enough chatters? O.

[Turner]

IRC's activity is normally directly reflective of who's in the chat and how many people are there lol.

If there are like 3 people in the chat, anyone who joins is likely to quit immediately. If we have 10 there is normally a conversation going on somewhere, and the more there are the more active it gets.

I'll try and be more active, I've been neglecting IRC these days.

[Sappy]

Yeah, same. I love this site and the IRC. I remember we had one day of craziness in April/May time ^^

[Liam]

We hit ten people today. If you have the time, come in and say hello. We're all lovely and charming chaps.

[Del]
