IRC channel changed (again)

Penguinboy
They're mine, not'chos!

I recently noticed that the old #twhl channel has become available, meaning that we can migrate back to using it over #twhl3, which is what we were using before. With TWHL4 approaching, #twhl3 makes less sense than it did 2 years ago. Anyone who regularly (or irregularly) joins/idles in IRC should note that the channel has changed.

For people who have never used IRC, give it a try! Firefox users can download the ChatZilla add-on, Opera users can use the client built into their browsers, and everyone else can use mIRC or a client of their choice. Drop in every now and then and have a chat! (and hope that you joined at a time when there's a discussion happening :P)

To recap and embiggen: THE IRC CHANNEL HAS CHANGED.

Coming soon: #twhl4

To prospective IRC users, note that active times in #twhl is pretty much only when Australians are around. Which is at stupid times, because they live in farawayistan. If you find yourself in a completely inactive chatroom, don't be alarmed.

HAHA, Farawayistan :D

What ZL said. Sad, but true.
Oh and why did we migrate to #twhl3 in the first place? I forgot.

Long story. Anyways I kinds missed it just being #twhl. The whole reason for the number in the first place was dumb.

Blah, you leave me no choice but to dig through all those old logs :-(

Wasn't it because some banned members were spamming it so they moved to #twhl3?

I will be idling at #twhl a couple of hours everyday. :)

It's because Nickelplate registered #twhl and he was a mod there or something something uninteresting.

ZombieLoffe says: 22nd December 2009, 18:37 PM

Nah, Nickelplate never owned #twhl, but it was owned by some inactive users, and the new mods (Ant, Penguinboy, Strider) wanted channel ownership, so they made #twhl3, the name coming from the prospective TWHL version 3.

For any IRC-fags who don't want an (usually) inactive chatroom, I can recommend #failreactor , created by me, Nickelplate and some other old-timers.
