I was just wondering if there is an IRC channel that a lot of the VOGONS and/or VDMsound people hang out on a lot. I think it'd be cool to chat with some of you sometime.

Not really, nope. 😜

Yes, it’s my fault.

I dunno.. I'd like to put it on a nice small network that's tied to my hosting company, like IRC.EV1.NET.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Snover, could you set up an IRCd or something on one of your servers?

Hmm sure start up a server for just 1 channel, noone's gonna bother connecting to that.

EFnet is pretty emulation-centric, as far as servers go. Lots of popular channels, including #retrogamers...

The smaller the network, the fewer the spammers and other lamers. Also, it's easy to connect to multiple networks at the same time in a lot of IRC clients. Plus, a lot of people would probably prefer to just use a web-based Java client if Snover put up a link to one, and those almost always are hard-wired to only let you connect to one channel on one server at a time anyways.

Too much work. Let me finish the new design first. 😜

Yes, it’s my fault.

I was just thinking that it might be cool to make a VOGONS and/or DOSBox IRC channel somewhere and hang out... Any ideas/thoughts?

I got banned from #scummvm because one of the ops on the channel took offense to my use of bold ANSI codes for some reason.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Snover: I got banned from a LiteStep chan for that once. I never used Litestep or any related projects since. Stupid anal IRC nazi fuckers.

QBix: Thanks. I don't really see any familiar names there though...
