Title: Does anyone actually USE the IRC chat ?
Post by: LiquidEvilGaming on Tue, 06 September 2016, 17:02:38: Anytime I have actually tried using the chat not sure I have once ever got a response...no matter the time of day tried. Is it just all Bots/AFKers at this point?

Yep, I've never seen you in there. Same username?

Post by: LiquidEvilGaming on Tue, 06 September 2016, 17:06:21: Yep, was actually just in there sans 5 minutes ago seeing if anyone was alive but not a single response. Maybe people are just on different time zones than I am.

Post by: xtrafrood on Tue, 06 September 2016, 18:27:36: Sounds like most of the IRC channels I've participated in. Every so often someone will type something (30-60min +/-) - but more often than not the channel would be silent for a handful of hours at a time.

Post by: jerue on Wed, 07 September 2016, 17:40:19: I've used it a bit, then people (including me) moved to the CtrlAlt slack. I should pop in again, there are a few members who I've only talked to in IRC. Gotta tell brentarnold about my Del Taco trip! :))

Post by: kravlin on Thu, 08 September 2016, 10:45:30: There's a fair number of us on IRC, we just speak randomly, it's not as constant anymore.

But, there's been a lot of traffic in the last 24 hours.

Post by: captsis on Tue, 20 September 2016, 01:05:00: I use it constantly. For niche forums/topics its really great. Depending on the chan anywhere from 10-200 people in a single room for some topics.

Post by: katushkin on Tue, 20 September 2016, 07:17:29: I used it once and got an insane amount of help with my Dolch PAC. Made me want to go on there again but i've never had the need for a constantly refreshing feed of stuff I never catch up on :rolleyes:

Post by: kiwi99 on Tue, 20 September 2016, 08:32:30: I used to use it a lot but wasn't much activity. There is #mechboards which is more active, but the most active is slack which actually can be accessed via IRC apparently.
