IRC Channel

[segosa]

You guys going to make an IRC channel somewhere?

[vurlix]

The website/forum is much more convenient for the developers. If there is significant demand for one, an official IRC channel for community use could be selected. Keep in mind that the channel would be registered to at least one µTorrent developer (to make it an official channel) but would be maintained and run by selected and elected members of the community.

I invite users to post here if they like the idea of a community IRC channel.

[Spanky]

I would like to see an IRC channel

[grimman]

If it catches on it'd be a quicker way to communicate, give/get support etc... but forums store the data better.

I'm for it though!

[fudg3tunn3l]

IRC sounds cool. Undernet anyone?

[Broodhill]

Would be kewl with a IRC channel. The network doesn't matter for me

[segosa]

If there was to be an official channel this early on then I don't know if Undernet would be a good idea. You need to have 10 active people to 'agree' to registering the channel before it's done.

Quakenet is similar, you need to have the channel populated for a few weeks before it gets registered.

EFnet has no services at all.

rizon and freenode seem to both have Services, which would make channel management pretty easy.

[fudg3tunn3l]

Well I'm already registered at Undernet and don't mind "starting it off", as long as we can get people idling we'll be cool

[segosa]

Well, it's up to vurlix and ludde. You'll need to get their permission etc.

[Broodhill]

Quakenet is similar, you need to have the channel populated for a few weeks before it gets registered.

You just need four or five people in the channel for ~two hours to get a L-bot which marks that you have registered the channel, so it is not week, if you don't want that special Q-bot. atleast it was for a few weeks ago

Oh, it must have changed. Last I heard it was a few weeks. Quakenet is more for games though isn't it?

I've seen freenode used for more development related things, so I think this place would fit in there quite well. I don't know much about rizon, it might be similar.

[ludde]

I only visit Efnet and Freenode, so if you want me in there, you have to pick either Efnet or Freenode.

It is just like 50+ users for two weeks, but yeah more for games. I'm hanging at Rizon but that is only a cheat channels, I know there is alot multiplayer-cheat channels there, but that is all I know about it. No idea about freenode thought

I suppose it'll have to be freenode then? EFnet has no services, so unless you want to set up a few eggdrops in order to keep ops in the channel (big inconvenience) that won't be a good choice.

Broodhill: yeah, freenode sounds like a better choice.

Edit: #utorrent freenode...

Damme_ is n=Damme@h83n5c1o285.bredband.skanova.com * Daniel Wiegert

Damme_ on #utorrent #reactos #openttd #fluffy

Damme_ using irc.freenode.net http://freenode.net/

Damme_ End of /WHOIS list.

That guy's there and he hasn't got ops.

[Broodhill]

Sure for me, lets wait and see what the vurlix and ludde says about it.

There is not anyway to force op if none is op on a channel?

[grimman]

I'd be happy to help start a channel up.

[chaosblade]

freenode would be fine. we need to see about that user though.

[segosa]

Yeah, the more people that idle there now, the worse. We're never going to get ops unless that Damme_ guy cooperates, and everyone who's in there being active.

[Hajo]

Damme_ is alive. and somehow related to utorrent. but now you've disappeared

[kryogenix]

I'd like the channel to be on Undernet.

[grimman]

Any progress?

[Rokushiki]

if u guys could make it integrated into utorrent itself it would be even better,something like the IRC plugin in azureus.that way users can chat while downloading and also ask for help.

[chaosblade]

so far we are on #uTorrenttemp on irc.freenode.org , #uTorrent will be registered by ludde soon. You should all hang out on the temp channel until the main one is registered.

[Hajo]

ludde siezed control, #utorrent on freenode now.

[vurlix]

µTorrent is a BitTorrent client. It downloads files with other BitTorrent clients. It is NOT a chat client. There are plenty of suitable chat clients available elsewhere.
