Let this discussion die already. Clearly it's not worth the time. If ASSEMbler and/or the major site-members won't be in the chan, it's just not gonna work.
Someone doesnt agree with you -> therefore it must be because they are "shy nerds" You are a tool, gtfo
We DO NOT have an irc channel. It is outside of my control and has no official affiliation whatsoever. It was started by people who were pretty much kicked off the site for trolling.
I only ever really used IRC to get the latest XBMC builds back in the day. I doubt most people are going to go out of their way to utilize this sort of thing. The chatbox we have now is convenient for everyone and is doing pretty well. It isn't even -that- popular as it is...
I would enjoy an irc channel if the majority votes no, can we at least have any sign or banner on the front page saying efnet #assemblergames? This would cost 0 and we could have our irc #. BTW: a lot of people use irc all the time. I'm on 3 networks at the moment.
The problem with IRC is that most people here are a bit older and have to work all day long while IRC is (or was) frequented by a generation that can just study all day and have it running in the background. Not sure if I'm right about this assumption, but I know that the amount of people I know from IRC channels has drastically decreased once they finished their degree and I don't know if there would be so many active members on an ASM IRC chan... most people only post when they have a free minute or so, but don't have it open all the time in the background like IRC.
So.. if the goal is an unofficial irc channel.. and the one i'm currently idling in on efnet has banned members...would a new one be started elsewhere... i mean, hell- efnet makes everyone sad
I just leave my irc open in the background all day. I wouldn't start an official AG channel, imo. An unofficial one where people actually want to chat would make more sense. No affiliate to AG
I have never used IRC in my entire existence. Also, the chat box seems weird. Does everyone else have to constantly refresh to see new messages?
Refreshing helps. But no not all the time. bwt half hour ago the thing was booming we were really giving it a blast I didnt have to refresh. Sometimes when i pop in everyones go quiet
alright. i rarely type in their A) i never have anything useful to say... ever. and B) i can never tell if it actually works. lol
Oh shes working alright. sometimes i need to refresh or it wont let me type in the box. We're good people. I bought up saveloys once never regretted it. good people
Hex1gon annoys me. I suppose he can't see my posts now. You're right though the chatbox does need refreshing now and then. And that's rich of you Bad_Ad84. That's not what I said at all but I suppose you're allowed.
@Kiwi, can you stop with the Hex1gon BS, we get it already he blocked you, but who cares, you deserved it after the comment you made about him. There is no reason to now reply to 10 different threads all starting with "But Hex1gon ignored me... .... Moan ... Moan ... Moan ... cry" Can a mod sort this out?
