Hey there!

I'm not big on Klik, but I've noticed that there has been a lack of good IRC channels for some time now. Most of them are pretty barren with only a few oldbies dropping in from time to time, so I figured that it would be a cool idea to attempt to get some Klikers together in a new channel. Apparently there is a client called Gwerdy Chat (I checked it out briefly) which also seems pretty active, but I prefer IRC over custom-tailored clients, and I am guessing that some of you might as well.

If any of you are interested in dropping by, the channel is #klik at esper.net. Nothing big or fancy, but yeah we'll see how it goes.

Thanks.

All new channels are going to do is dilute the userbase further.

By throwing out the idea of an active IRC channel? I do not really see what you are getting at.

EDIT:

Elaborated.

I do like the idea of having an IRC channel - it seems more appropriate than having a separate chatroom (as the chatroom tries to emulate IRC anyway) though the Gwerdy Chat client provides two advantages:

1. It can be tied right into the forum user database without the need for IRC bots.
2. The maker can show off to new people by saying "Look, this was made in MMF2 Dev".

ANOTHER IRC klik channel? There are, were plenty of klik chans, but most of them dry up after a few months. But oh well, I hang out on IRC a lot. What's the server that esper.net is on?

EDIT: Never mind, stupid question

Heh, seems pretty empty . Why can't everyone just use the same server? Radix has a point.

I was there yesterday. I'm not much on IRC, even though it totally owns MSN messenger.

Well good luck finding an active channel if you're expecting something with more than a handful of users right after its creation.

There IS a good IRC channel - #TDC. No one just bothers visiting much.

Most IRC channels have a very short life.

Yeah.
Especially when there's such a small number of people that actively take part on these forums.
And when there's things like Gwerdy around.

IMO there is no need to create ANOTHER IRC channel which will die within a month or so.

That point is pretty moot since people who can't maintain their interest for longer than a couple of weeks are free to like, not join in the first place. I'm not trying to inspire people who do not care as much as I am trying to start an active IRC channel because I want to frequent one.

Really, do what you want.
