Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Other Stuff : is IRC too hard for this forum

Guys,
Countless times this thing has come up and even Bruce has said how sad is it that no guys here will get on and chat. Come on are all guy's too scared to talk in real time. IRC works on dialup even so if you guy's are so full of projects why not banter the night away chatting and meeting new friends.

Either AussieRE which I originally gave the name too, or the otherpower IRC where one can meet some yankie friends. IRC is a way to keep in contact with friends and man it is too easy to connect.

So why are forum members scared to talk in real time.............

Cheers Bryan

There are some instruction for getting started on IRC here http://www.thebackshed.com/Windmill/articles/IRC.asp

I've used it a few times, but I find it distracting when I'm on the computer so I turn it off when I want to get some work done. But IRC is fun, and its a good way to chat to the other forum members. Since I installed Win7 I havn't reinstalled a IRC client, poor excuse I know

Not scared Bryan, but the time difference here in WA and my very late evening computer sessions make this a no can do for me...
