Title: Amiga.org official chat room?
Post by: Opus on February 01, 2006, 02:49:20 AM
I would like to make IRC efnet #amiga the official realtime chat/help channel for Amiga.org.
We have a strong knowledgeable user base, average about 50 people and looking to have some
moderated chats with some well-known programmers and Amiga people.

Come visit us today and feel the fire!

Amiga.org already has it's own IRC channel.

#Amiga.org on irc.webchat.org

Efnet is skeery anymore. After years of attempted channel take overs. Admin coups and other trauma, it's a war-torn battlefield. Many of the ircops there have dangerous attitudes, there are people with botnets all up and down the place, and bleh.  It's like a wounded lumbering behemoth.  That's right, it's like over 16 years of injuries that have yet to be cleared up. I'd rather stick to the Webchat

well, I didn't see there was a chat CHANNEL for here, I visited it and found only 7 clients there.  
For the last 3 years or so I have been in efnet #amiga we have had 0 take overs or attempts for that matter, in fact, we have an ircop in there to help should we ever fall under attack.

Secondly, doing some research, I find that chat room is not only understood but acceptable.
