MR IRC Chat Room

SilvorX · Aug 24, 2002, 01:44 AM

anyone here a fan of irc chat? if u are, u should come by on the Mac Rumors IRC Chat room on irc.newnet.net, and the room name is #macrumors, this chat room was basically only popular around mwny, but a few ppl have been going in and out since then, but now its totally dead, i've seen tech sites (even 10% the size of MR) that have a chat room that the members of the site hang out when they have a break from posting on the forum, well come on in the chat room if you want

macrumors chat was popular only during MWNY by design.

I don't have any links to the chat right now... and only when there are events, do I put them up.

Mostly, I didn't think it would be popular, and didn't want to have to try to police it.

I don't think there is any need for the IRC if you got the forums... I only went to the IRC room when MWNY was happening, cause Arn had closed down the the forums.

Oh God! isn't MacRumors addictive enough without a chatroom? I'm against it, for my own sake!

I like the IRC chat. I was there during MWNY and whenever the server was down I would head over there.

edit- arn, if you started to publicize it more I'm sure some of the senior members would be happy to police it when convinient.

I like IRC chat too much, but I haven't been to the MacRumors room. I used to be an op in another room and then I had my own room and kinda maxed out on it all.

Maybe I'll try again...just a little.
