I stop by, but I hardly talk due to most of the time you guys are talking about shit I have no clue about. I'm making an effort though.
It's not as bad as I thought it would be.
Whoever derepped him, dick move.
I was on the IRC until recently. I didn't say a whole lot, but I liked to check the logs and see what was said. Sometimes, it was very informative.
In case anyone is wondering (I know no one is, but still), I'm not in there now because I've been wasting too much time lately. I need to get focused and get going on some new things. That's also the reason I've been less active on the forums (even if it seems like my activity hasn't declined).
The IRC can be a nice place, but it can be hard for people to understand what exactly is a joke and what isn't. If a new member jumps in and sees two people calling each other assholes, he can't really tell if they're kidding or not. Shit, even an old member couldn't tell unless he knew both people. But there's an easy solution - don't say anything. If you're confused about the current atmosphere, just stay quiet. And after a while, once it quiets down, say something. Not hard, and there's no rule saying that you can only stay in the channel a certain amount of time.
