Longtime IRC user here

WASD · 2012-01-17 14:02:00

I've been on the ArchBang IRC channel doing my best to make it active every since I started using ArchBang for over 2 months ago. My name is WASDx there since WASD was busy.
I used CrunchBang previously. But tried out Arch in a virtualbox and really liked pacman and how daemons were controlled in rc.conf so I decided to switch to ArchBang

So today I finally decided to register on the forums. I would like to encourage people to use the IRC. I've been the post active user there ever since I joined and helped many new users while making sure the channel stays alive. #archbang on irc.freenode.net. I'm always online there using irssi over ssh on my server. I'm gonna start being active on the forums as well

I'll try out irssi then since I haven't used a irc client before.

IRC is a great thing I prefer it above forums sometimes, hence I waited so long to register. It's also great to have it running on a server so you can follow everything being said.

Great stuff!! I'll try and join in when I can.

Now that you are top dog it would be nice to see you and some of the other Archbang leaders join once in a while so we can say hi.

I don't know if there are any leaders around.
But I just would like to add that I never use chat channels.
The way my life is organized, i want to be able to do things as I have the time for something.
My experience with chatting is that it isn't very productive for me and I feel an obligation pretty soon in a way I don't like.

Tend not to use irc unless I really have too, its a dark place!

I tend to agree based on experiences from past years gone by with different distros. I direct 3 language schools, do full-time ministry and am a husband and father. IRC is low on my priority list of things to do in my life especially with a two year old climbing on me while I'm on-line.

I wouldn't refer to the archbang IRC channel as a dark place (maybe a vacuum though). Not much traffic when I am on. There are occasional questions. Sometimes some miscellaneous social chat (what is wrong with a little social interaction with people that have a common interest?). Not a problem if it does not fit with what you have going on.
