It's been quiet in the channel, and not many newcomers.. wondered why.
sorry, i had to vote no since my main univeristy has a campus wide ban on irc, it sucks i know. so anything on irc does me no good. but don't worry about me i have plenty of other sources of help.
i just started using the irc, but linuxforums is the only channel i have really spent any time in, was quite nice
i voted yes but i think it would be more helpful if more people enter it..
Yes , more traffic would be good. Seems like many LF'ers
don't use irc.
I'm there most of the time I'm infront of the computer, and if somebody asks a question I know the answer to I'll respond. Guess that's how most people behave in the channel.
What with everything else, I simply have no time for IRC. Plus, I neither read nor type fast enough to keep up in an active IRC channel.
I tried on Genoo IRC and those who were trying to help me got frustrated and abandoned me. Of course. It didn't help matters that I was using irssi during an install and had to switch between vc's 1, 2, 3 and 4 to get the info I needed to give in order to get a reasonable answer.
One of these days I'm going to give Gentoo another try. But not without a Gentoo Guru sitting in the room with me to shed some light.
But, I digress. I enjoy offering advice/info and gathering same from others. However, do to the time/skills needed to effectively engage in IRC, I'll have to limit my involvement to the forums.
you have to remeber there is like over 800 ppl in that IRC channel we dont get to much above 20 so it is alot less hectic in #linuxforums :) just thought i would mention that :) i am always logged in sometimes i mite not be talking but im allways logged in
Hey, remember it's summer time (even if teh weather here doens't give that impression ;))
Once we get to fall it'll fall in a few hundred more peole ;) (oh, even some pun in the sentence)
true dat, if i didnt have work i would never be on (youll notice i rarely post after 5 or before 9, and almost never on the weekends)
