Move IRC Channel to WorldIRC?

(1/4) > >>

Kornel Kisielewicz:
Recently there was a discussion on the #DoomRL IRC channel, wether we should move to WorldIRC network (currently we are on quakenet). The reason behind this is that the majority of roguelike channels are on WorldIRC anyway (#tome, #angband, #bay12games, #rgrd). So we decided to make a poll!

I especialy would like to know if there are people that:
* visit the channel but won't, once it moves
* didn't visit the channel, but will visit the channel if it moves

If you don't care about IRC anyway, please don't vote. But please all post your comments if you have them :).

LIke I said on IRC: I won't argue the positive points of moving but I won't be moving myself.

No real opinion - it doesn't matter to me where the chanell is - if it helps get it more lively I might even start appearing :P

The majority of the roguelike channels are on WorldIRC? That's bullshit!

If your "roguelike channel" means all channels that have something to do with the roguelike genre, you don't seem to know the amount of roguelike channels on IRC. Check the QuakeNet's roguelike channels for example, there are roguelike channels there. Then check a few popular servers more. You'll see that there are many large and active channels scattered across IRC. It's not just WorldIRC. Who likes Angband and its successors anyway. (The last sentence is not a flame bait, don't eat it!)

I'd like to hear some good reasons before moving. Is there something on WorldIRC that QuakeNet can't provide? Of course moving is a good thing for those who hang on WorldIRC, but there are those who don't want to add new servers to their favorites. I know I didn't want it before #RGRD, but I couldn't change that.

I guess I'd keep visiting #DoomRL even if it moves, but I don't see it as a positive thing. Maybe I'd boycott it for a while if you can't think any good reasons to move. I didn't like adding a new server to my favorites when #RGRD was formed, WorldIRC, yuck. Who suggested this anyway?
