Title: IRC channel for chat
Post by: z.s.tar.gz on April 12, 2010, 03:58:19 PM

I've made one on irc.newnet.net called "sorchat"
Will anyone actually use it? Who knows.
Newnet has a nice java based client here (http://www.newnet.net/newnewnet/jirc/chatme.html) if you're interested.

Hope to see you there!

Oh the irony! Now that there is a better chat system nobody knows how to use it!

And yes the SoR chat is still up, but nobody ever goes in there.

Then why do you think they'll go IRC?

I admit the chat is a bit strange - would be nice if you could get a pop up if someone wrote something to you, as there is no fun in sitting in an empty chat room and since folks here come from around the world, they are probably on at different intervals - I think ICQ and similar IMs may be much better alternatives for that reason, but it's been years since I ditched ICQ, overloaded my PC and I always had to be in "Ninja mode" to not get flooded by total strangers wanting me to solve their entire lifes (or close to at least).

I didn't. I actually don't.
Can't hurt to try though.
