Its true that IRC is not for noobs, but its not for mainstream professionals either. Most of the people on IRC are do-it-yourself geeks in obscure nonconventional technology, which is why you see a lot of open source coders on IRC. Correct me if Im wrong, but there is little to no activity for commercial computer graphics on IRC.

*shrug*

I'm a fan of do-it-yourself geek mentality, heh.

There are a fair few art-based IRC communities though. I'm almost certain there are channels on most servers for 3d art and I think devART has an entire IRC server network for itself.

why did I first notice this now :S

I sure hope I remember all that registering and stuff, its been years since I've been on any IRC channels.

One thing that people seriously need to understand is that IRC is asynchronous in nature. Other people in the channel may be at work, out running errands, or just not available for whatever reason. It's not reasonable to assume that a channel is "dead" simply because you don't receive a flood of greetings and replies when you log in. People who use IRC on a daily basis typically leave it running for long periods of time (read: days and weeks). This is often called "idling." They catch up on the discussion that has transpired when they can. In order for this community's IRC channel to grow, people need to start idling. I would very much like to see this channel flourish, but it's not going to happen when people pop in and out for 5 minutes at a time.

Just $0.02 from an IRC addict..

I'm going to start sitting in the IRC channel 24/7 now, I got on and there barely any people in there.. It's a wonderful thing to have, yet not many people know about it.

So if anyone wants to hop on, you'll see me in there for sure. ^^

kYo · 23-01-2009, 05:36 PM

the cool thing with IRC is its essential for a decent leet attribute but you dont need to be there in person, just put a bouncer on with your nick for the idling 24/7 appearance and you´re set

complx- · 23-01-2009, 06:11 PM

Ill be there just about 24/7 myself, nice to have some game-ppl close and ready to be the answer to all your problems.... or whatever

lefix · 06-07-2009, 06:30 AM
