Yea, lets get the IRC channel back on board. Get some Ops/Bots going to protect the channel and that will be HOME for some of us.

 

 

16 favorable votes after 9 days isn't exactly the enthusiastic response I was hoping for.  Still, there seems to be at least a small contingent who are interested in this project.  It seems the popular consensus is that we start with just re-establishing an IRC channel and then take it from there.  I have no idea how to go about doing that.  Anyone with more experience want to spearhead this first step?

There is really no energy to have it running. I use to have bots running when I had my Jetski channel but it has been so long I forgot most of how to get everything going. I probably can read up on it this weekend if time permits.

 

 

Information dispersal is always a good idea. The forum usually does have all the answers somewhere, and usually via a tome of reading, unfortunately.  A question, being unfamilar with IRC channel, is there any bandwidth issue for those of us out in the sticks with only dial-up or satellite internet service?

IRC is text based chat so it uses very little bandwidth. I used it all the time on dial-up without any issues. Channels can also be logged and that log placed into a searchable index.
