Due to recent events, #banana has been removed from the webchat, and is no longer officially affiliated with Msgplus!. Now, with all of this being done, is there going to be an official chat channel created? As to say, created by someone who will run it responsibly (NO, I'm not saying Underlord didn't run his responsibly, he did!)?

.. So you're suggesting yourself?

Did I say that? I don't believe I did.

I guess the answer would be NO! It will still be the same people going inthere..i don't see how people can get into so many arguments on irc tbh. I rarely had problems myself.

I wonder when people will realise that forums aren't irc and irc is nothing like forums....on irc you deal with diff characters, that's how it always has been and always will be. Don't tell me you know somebodies character from posts onhere...if you think you can you'll be very surprised when talking face to face to the person.

Guess in #msgplus we will stick to helping out and that's about it..no chatchan to join for them.

Thank/blame those bringing irc matters onto forums for that. Wich resulted in people joining in who knew jackshit about what has really been going on on irc..starting the flaming.

Edit: honestly i don't know if i should be happy or sad with there not beeing an official chatchan anymore..it means we have to deal with people overly chatting in #msgplus again..*sigh*

You implied it.. already owning #chat that is.

[edit]

If there is to be a chat channel - it would be best to be left to be ran by the opers. That way we know exactly whats going on and can deal with things in a more "professional" way.

why do you even need it ? you have msn, a program designed for chatting

The issue is: you'll never be happy unless it is Patchou running the channels on IRC, making it a wholly official channel; then, and only then, would you never have grievances. Another problem is that you take 10 people from the forums who you say are "mature" and they will have no idea how to run an IRC channel. That's the nature of the beast. Sunshine hit the nail on the head, they are totally different environments.

Edit:

mwe99: 200 people in a mass convo on MSN? I really don't think so. Try IRC, you'll soon learn how utterly different it is from any other "IM" medium.

imho a chat channel isnt really needed, i estimate we got about 1/10 people in #banana who actually wanted to chat, and even then it was about 1/100 that stayed for longer than 20 seconds.

And 1/5000 become regulars.

Very well put, Sunshine.

Although I don't see why there's such a big fuzz about it. Just send anyone who wants to chat in #msgplus to #banana (state that it "isn't official" or something that makes most people happy).

Cheers!
