Rants, Raves, and… crazies?

Well, since jumping back into the IRC thing, it has been crazy to say the least. Anymore, you have to fight for a nickname, and basically kill someone to get yourself a channel that has the ability to be build. You can’t just open a channel called #HWLKPS and expect it to grow, have people find it easily on their own, and to continue building with members who find the channel just by accident. That’s why you need a channel that people can ‘accidentally’ find. I have slowly found a couple channels that I will eventually use for the purpose of IRCNewbies.com, but that’s a little down the road.

So I have been thinking about other directions that I can go with this site, and I am thinking about allowing members to create an account, and be able to just post about their day of IRC – and allow others to comment, etc. I think Ican link it with each users profile, so will look into that.

As for me, I have found a couple channels I really enjoy. I have been meeting a lot more people through DALnet, and I am actually putting them on this webpage, and going to allow them to link their website (if they have one). One channel I have been visiting is #CafeChat – it has all the right things, a name people can find on their own. It has just enough staff members, and I happen to like the atmosphere. The one thing I don’t like; being talked down to. I forgot what it’s like to be one of the lower ranking ops in a channel, and was basically told I think about myself more than anything — imagine that one! After being on IRC for 14 years, I will never understand the attitude that some people take when running a channel, I want to scream “relax, if you do the proper things, the channel will grow. It doesn’t happen over night!”

Anyway, moving on – another funny thing that has been happening on DALnet for years. Users that become an IRCOp, and have a complete other side to them. They are flooding channels, hacking nicknames & channels, and do so under other nicks/ip addresses, and then turn around and sit in oper channels, and gain an o:line of their own. Just pure craziness!

So, where am I hanging out these days? Well, DALnet is about it – I can be found in the following channels:

#ChatAway – #CafeChat - #Teen – #TeenFactory – #Cheers – #DALnetNews and sometimes #IRCnewbies.

That’s enough today – you’re gonna notice some changes to IRCNewbies.com very soon! I am going in another direction

Hello June..

As May comes to an end, we’re already into June. I am not gonna make a huge post about updates, I have decided to take time before launching the website completely. I am still looking to make the best team possible, and the team I have in place all aren’t on board. We’ll see where things go!
