Cookie: yet read through yesterday's log; John Anderton, mwe99, lordy16... were they abused? Were they <insert whatever pointless accusations you have cited here>? And look at the regulars we've had join the channel lately... hexel, Haz, rix - they have fitted straight in. These are not-so-regulars accepting the channel.

It should never have been official. EOF. It should, as was intended, just been an outlet for the helpers in #msgplus to chat and have the anarchy that should not exist in #msgplus. Simple.

Idling has everything to do with it. If you don't take an active part in the channel, you're not a part of the channel's "community". Greenboy never says anything yet his client has been in there for months; does that entitle him to an opinion? No way, because it just idles, he takes no part in anything. Just because #banana is on the Plus IRC server, a server which doesn't actually belong to anyone in the community even, doesn't associate it with Plus by default. Just as I could register #cheese on the server and it would be nothing to do with Plus. The association with Plus was forced upon the channel by the webchat button; something the regularls never wanted, never embraced. So, in spirit, the channel is not an extension of Plus.

"And FYI, I still idle there instead of parting it, because I care about what happens in an official (or much used) channel, just because of the image it represents officially or not."

So why are you not in #msgplus on EFnet? It represents the image of Plus, it gets people who need help in it and it is known as the alternative to the Plus server should the server ever experience downtime. You're not an official representative of Plus so why are you projecting this image that you have to look after everything Plus related. Just part and save us regulars who enjoy how the channel is the hassle of your derogatory opinion. It's not official anymore so there's no need for you to lord it over Plus' precious image.

The 35 regulars in there would not have become regulars were it as bad as you lay claim to it being.

Yes, we prefer proper grammar or spelling because it makes life so difficult trying to understand various versions of txt message talk. That truism holds sway over a lot of IRC channels on a lot of networks. It's a small courtesy to type full sentences and full words; take enough pride in yourself to use decent, readable English. Don't just do it on IRC even, do it throughout every typing pastime you partake in.

Haha @ joelm's signature. That's the most amusing thing I've seen in a long time.
