IRC? What IRC?
I've only ever once or twice been on an IRC. Not my taste at all. So what's the fun about it then? A mass msn-like chat or such?
What was spoken about then bytheway? Mapping subjects or just anything?

I used to stop by and hang out and I ended up getting to know one or two pitters much better.
But alas, I can't connect to IRC here at college, because of something they've done with the network.

It's like a multiperson MSN chat, mixed with the General Banter board. You can talk about anything. It's much more fun when more ppl are on.

As I said before, I'm quite literally blocked off of, specifially, Quakenet because of my ISP postfix on my IP. Pretty stupid ... I guess a lot of people are spamming through comcast.net email addresses or connections or something. (And there's no way to port that server thing in chatzilla that I can find)
I could try with FF though.

Didn't work. And the indentity server they suggest they wont respond to ... I don't think there's an easy way for me to get in unless I install a completley new IRC client ... which I'm not doing.

I'll try to sign on sometimes, but I don't really have long periods of uninterrupted time for chatting anymore.

Real time chats tend to also attract real time idiots. Trying to have an adult conversation is nearly impossible most times. Cutting loose and enjoying oneself is a good thing, but stupid is universally frowned upon and I have a fairly strict sense of what is and what is not stupid. I prefer forums. The post is usually around long enough for multiple people to read, and remembered. Especially if its stupid. People can usually run those types off. Chats, if you do not have someone willing to kick them, the chat sucks.
Anyway, I prefer forums.

I didn't even know the snarkpit had an IRC channel. When I'm in IRC my handle will be "naklajat"
cheers

It is possible to have an adult conversation. But only when most of the idiots went to bed
