Deptore Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 It just popped in my head a few minutes ago, seems a few years back I remember something about an IRC chat room that FL players were using? Is this still active? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grosek_ Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 My cousin put it up and I took it down. Too much OOCness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deptore Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Well yeah, I figured it'd be OOC. Just a faster way to talk to each other while in training and doing other things. It's as easy to mod as a forum anyways, ban people who give trouble or just kick them. Giving information about qraces isn't a main concern since it can be done here also in pm.

Grosek_ Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 In my experience, it just isn't worth it. I've never really liked the cliques in game. Virigoth had an IRC channel for the IMMS way back when that I stumbled in to, and even then... it just ended up being a dead room most of the time. Although I can't speak for the imms now, I doubt they will have a problem with it... as it will most likely fade in to obscurity faster than become a cesspool of OOC knowledge at this point.

f0xx Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I think someone suggested an official IRC room long time ago and it was quickly shot down with the "OOC" argument. Then I didn't agree with shotting the suggestion down, but now I can see why most didn't agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yeah, I was going to set up an IRC channel before but I can see why it'd not be the best idea in the world in hindsight. I think a forum 'shoutbox' would be interesting, I know this forum software supports it. Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deptore Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 That'd work great, I just think it'd be interresting for us to have a real time chat also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zrothum Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I think the shoutbox idea is perfect. Could be monitored, logged, and very easily taken away if abused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
