Alright, I've noticed a complete lack of life in RE's IRC channel. I logged in pretty much close to every day and saw no life since Alkarii's internet died. I was wondering if people forgot it existed, or if people just aren't interested.

Our forum was a lot tighter when we all logged into IRC, so I've tried to keep up with it, but guys, are we wasting our time keeping the channel?

I know Darthy is the person in charge of the channel and all, but I'm asking this as a member to other members, I really have no control over what happens to the IRC channel and whatnot.

I guess I'm just trying to remind you guys that it exists still, and if you show interest I'll start logging in there again...

Is lonely in there...

Roffel House!

IRC was buggier than a turkey vulture for me, so I kind of threw my arms up in the air at it and gave up. Is there another alternative to IRC out there? One that isn't so coding heavy? I felt like I had to memorize another Webster's dictionary just to get it to work.

If you'd like I can poke around for a new program during this week.

I just _____ in the _____.

I was just too lazy to bother setting up an account.

I figured we could use Xfire if we ever needed each other for anything. It allows for everyone to get together and even use mics.

And yeah, I totally miss having conversations with all of you at the same time. My nefarious plans go unspoiled to anyone!

I mainly didn't use IRC for it being unnecessarily difficult to use. I would definitely use it more if it was simpler to work, but... Well, I signed up once, but looking at it again I have no idea how I ever got it working.

So, yeah. If anyone comes up with anything that would be even a bit simpler to use, I would be completely up for it.

Yeah, my account went fubar, and I always was too lazy to fix it. That's about it really...

Remember CheetaChat? Man, those were the days...

IRC itself isn't buggy, but it looks like you have a few problems with PJIRC (the Java applet you're using to connect to your IRC channel) - everytime I try to access it I get an "unidentified string" message. I'm using PJIRC on my site and am quite familiar with it, and could set yours up so that it would automatically connect so you wouldn't need to mess around with the /server or /join commands. Let me know if you're interested and I'll put something together (I can do all the necessary code on my end, so all you'd need to do is upload the files). The only command you'd need to remember is /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password> to identify yourself, though if you use a client like mIRC you can have it set up to do this automatically too.

Another thing is that you really don't want muting/manual voice approval. I came into your channel a few times but wasn't able to say anything as the moderator was AFK, and it was quite frustrating just leaving it open in the background waiting for someone to arrive.

Yeah, I miss the days when I could chat with you guys. Remember those interviews we did with our characters? Good times!

But yeah, I never like used IRC because it relied too much on coding experience. I wished there was always something more simpler.
