We had one ages ago but not many people used it. The problem is due to the international time Zones. You see myself being in Japan would be mostly on the IRC when others are not thanks to being GMT +8. Yakumo
i don't see a really big problem... i work one week 6:00-13:30 the other 13:30-21:00 sad people wouldn't use it tought
I think it's on efnet...haven't been there in awhile myself...(like Yakumo said, nobody is ever there)
Heh, I remember getting that started way back when, although I thought it was on a different server to begin with... But yeah, the problem was always time zones - you'd always have people just leaving for bed while someone else is going to work, and the only ones around were the people geographically close to you anyways. The other problem I had that caused me to stop using IRC as a chat route is that my client, mIRC, wouldn't do like current messenger programs and flash the title bar, or give me ANY indication that there was a new message in the room, and it was a huge pain in the ass/waste of time to be cycling between mIRC and whatever else I was trying to do on the PC just to see if there were any replies. That being said, #assemblerirc at efnet is still populated from time to time, so please drop in and see if any of the locals are lazing about.
Ah, the never-quite-entirely-dead-but-only-by-a-small-margin IRC channel returns I remember it lead to some pretty interesting conversations 2 years ago! So I decided to fire up mIRC and check it out after months of absence but I'm the only one now :-( Assembler, mention it on the frontpage, will you? ;-)
