Do you guys, or have you ever, had an active and regular IRC channel?


If not I would seriously suggest doing so because they can really help out the traffic to sites (especially if you put it on a server with high videogame/anime music downloads but that is still a manageable size, like xelium)

If you set one up and any of you admins is used to hosting files and having spare bandwidth you could also set up some fserv and/or dcc bots in order to give a lot more people a reason to come into chat and consequently maybe join the site (the only drawback is that you get a lot of leechers who don't do much talking)



If you guys are interested yet not to familiar with IRC i would be more than happy to get you up and running and show you the ropes, then relinquish control of the channel to the proper admin. I'm also fairly mediocre at scripting in case you need something special, let me know in a pm or just respond to this thread i guess!

We have had a good IRC Channel before.
With curtesy (SP?) of our good friend AgentIns back then. But it wasn't that big a succes but once this site is becoming more active I am sure we will get an IRC channel once more...

Good Idea btw...

Well you might want to consider that a channel would help make it more active, instead of just waiting until it gets active and THEN making one

As MXN pointed out, we did have one, but it never did well, even when there were moer active members. It's a nice idea, but I honestly don't have much time for that kinda stuff nowadays. Not to wane the idea, but I'm gonna defeat it before I even see it. Sorry.
