i've been thinking about all this...
i think if it's posted on the front page, people may think it's an official channel. they'll think it's some sort of live tech support or sth (as some people may think the mods are tech supports).
if it is actually posted on the front page, then it should be stated clearly that it's not an official 3DS channel, nor is it a live tech support. just where the members hang out.

Yes, and then it would also be bound by the same sort of rules as the TOS here.

The freedom from a lot of the restrictive protocols of the forums of one of the channel's strengths already.

Let's leave it an unofficial channel, I say.

Well that isn't our fault.....now is it??

Just kidding, glad to see you decided to stop by. Hope to see you on there sometime, when I am not sleeping of course


As far as the idea of posting something about the channel on the frontpage of 3DS, I don't like the thought that people would come in only to talk about problems. I enjoy our conversations all the time, even if they are pretty dumb most of the time . But they are fun none the least. I don't think bringing serious hard core problems in there would go over too well. I like sitting in there just to relax.

Yeah... that's true. I would imagine a lot of newbies would come in and start asking away. So let's just limit that to only me who's allowed to bug ya with my computer problems in the channel.

We've allready been visited by quite a few "characters" in there without having the channel on the frontpage, just imagine what would happen if we did put it there

PS. Last night Phantazmm actually took his mask off. I almost fainted

Hehe... Last night, quite a lot happened.... And I don't think that chat session would've been appropriate for everyone...

So Let's keep the channel of the front page...

.02$

yeah that was funny last night....

Its okay every once in a while, but not all the time. That would just get way out of hand :eek:
But your problems are always welcome

Now I am mad that I missed out on that conversation. I am there for a bunch of them, and YES they are usually pretty good, now I'm gonna have to ask one of you next time I see you on IRC what it was all about, if you don't tell me then unch:

/edit: well it appears that the punch icon doesn't work. Maybe look into fixing that.

tell you what, i'm ALWAYS missing the conversations. since the time difference is so great, i'm getting used to seeing everyone sleeping or going to klass!
i think the time difference between Siam and the UK is about 9 hrs. and 12 hrs with the US...

If you've got a permanent connection, just stay in the channel and log what happens...

If not, get an eggdrop bot and get it to log everything that happens in the channel... (Note, you'll need access to a server to do that)

Argh! Come one guys, I always log on in there and there's noone there that's actually is there! We need publicity on this thing

Ok, so where do I go to get on this IRC channel anyways...

I'm curious to see what you guys talk about!

This is how you do it! If this doesn't work, let me know and I'll explain it again, maybe in a little easier detail. And if all else fails, reread this whole thread. There have been quite a few questions about this.

Thanks poertner_1274! I'll have to get mIRC first and try this out in the next couple of days.

You can get it from www.mirc.com

Gonna do some stats on our room - I'll try to keep it up to date.
It's right here -> IRC Stats Page (unofficial of course)

I only have a tiny drop of a log file that I could use because I wasn't keeping time stamps before. I will be from now on.

LNCPapa

I'm gonna have to get connected once I get back to the UK
Can't leave LNCPapa talking to himself as it seems on the stats page

Please do - the conversation just isn't that interesting anymore. I seem to know everything everyone has to say even before they type it.

LNCPapa

LNCPapa was kind enough to make a stat bot logger(I guess that is what you would call it). Anyway for those of us that are on IRC and talk if you want to look at interesting stuff about how long people have been on, random comments, mosts comments, and other stuff go here
Nice work Papa
Glad someone finally decided to do this, enough talking about it

[SIZE=1]It appears that I don't know how to view the forums properly, and LNC already posted about this, so I am gonna go crawl in a hole now [/SIZE]

LMAO
Nice small comment Poertner
