My apologies for not showing up more often. ( I realize that my absence is more pleasurable to some so its not a total loss )

The years I spent in [DRS] ruined me on real time chats.. I spent literally hours each day I was home sorting out clan issues and arguments galore. No offense to anyone here, but I really cannot read all that chatter anymore. My time here would belie that, but I can read each post when/if I feel like doing so. Real time doesn't really have a "when you want to" or an "as fast as you want to" option.. you screw around and what you were reading goes scrolling off the top edge. smiley

Still, I would join sometime if something important needs addressed.. *shrugs* no one seems to PM anyone about that though..

/ rambling





The best things in life, aren't things.

? quoting Myrk-
Well if we are going about this, how about we change the snarkpit server over to gamesurge? The ops commands are actually memorable on that server, and theres loads more people on it than Quakenet, or at least it isnt filled with mindless fools.

Gamesurge. Gamesnet. Gamesbanana. Will it change it's name again? Will it ever be anywhere near as popular as Quakenet? Will it have held the #snarkpit channel for nigh on 4/5 years?

Do what you must with channel ops, but don't move the channel. It's just stupid.

I used to be on IRC all the time, but i found that everyone was at gwil's complete mercy, and he temporarily banned me for disagreeing with him. I found it rather ridiculous, so i stopped going. Also, Hugh googles on #triv.

Now that you've mentioned the IRC channel so openly EVERYONE is gonna join

we will ahve plenty of assholes to ban.

That isn't actually the whole story, and you didn't stop going anyway :P

Err.. long time no see

Reno, the only reason you aren't an op as it stands is because you are one of the "I lost my Q auth..." or "ah, I keep forgetting to add auth to perform" people, and we deliberately removed snark ops to make things neater about 4 months ago. Sort out your Q auth and away we go <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

The channel was only an 'all op' channel from the days where the max number of users was 5. This changed as soon as the channel became more popular... Not to be an ass, but most people weren't responsible enough to not op their noob friend who just came onto IRC, and it seemed easier to have less ops then to come to the channel one day and find somebodies noob friend had banned everybody, set some '1337' chanflags, or, more commonly, changed the topic to some lame url to an upside down christmas tree eating a goldfish or something (removing the useful information put there by reno / gwil / etc).

So in summary, ops have been a bit lacking since Gwil went on his big trip, and I was thinking the other day about adding a couple of ops, but as for mass ops, I vote no.

Sorry, I just noticed what Nickleplate posted and I have to say, WHAT??

1. Gwil thing was a joke you never got, and you came back after that.
2. You can't google, in #triv to give you an advantage as it is a test of quickfire memory from the last time the question came around.
3. IRC channel was not, nor ever has been secret, there have been numerous threads about it any some members, including my good self used to pimp it in their signatures to GET people to join.

0/3 correct: Go sit in the corner.

[/end 3 day late reply] It just bugged me.
