Is it me or is the #esf IRC Channel not popular anymore?

[grOOvy]

I'm always there, always will be as long as I have access to IRC.

Pain make sure you do what I did with 1.2's release party: hype the flip out of the IRC channel. It usually brings in a huge influx of players into the IRC community, and out of them 10% usually stick around forever.

You should also make the upcoming trivia a live event on IRC, hype it some more on the homepage and get people there. Also, force other team members to idle there more; fans will come attempting to talk (bother) the developers .

Funny too because I thought talk of IRC wasn't allowed on the forums, and yet, here this thread is <_<;

IRC disputes are seperate from forum disputes, however there is no harm in pimping the offcial channel or discussing suggestions to popularise it in a constructive manner.

 

[Brim]

Yeah...I'm not so active anymore myself, mainly because I rarely use IRC anymore...who knows, I might pop in every now and then

Nothing is set in stone yet, but that's actually exactly what I had planned. Great minds think alike eh?

I would encourage anyone who wishes to participate in the next forum comp to become familiar with IRC a little bit, so you at least know the very bare basics (how to join a channel and how to PM). I will of course explain everything when the time comes, but it would save a great deal of hassle. Again, it's not set in stone, but I'd say the chances are very good that we will be using IRC.

But enough about that >_>
Everyone needs to join #esf and start talking amongst themselves.

I blame WoW.

 

[Skyrider]

I blame WoW.

Yet you play it yourself.

 

[Grega]

Agrees Hsu is as adicted to it as he can only be

[Arthos]

Well, I don't go as often as I should anymore these days.

 

[Skyrider]

Same, I don't go much on IRC lately as well. And i have noticed it yesterday on the ESF channel, only about less then 10 people in it. Its a shame, since allot of weeks ago. It was still over 30.

 

[Adaptus]

I used to be in the channel frequently back when the ESF-League was still pretty active. But.. yeah. I'm very rarely in the channel nowadays.

 

[Prozac]

*cries*

/big Buttsecks


yeah ehm, things die but it will probably be revived at the next release

 

[Zeonix]

Well, it's always revived around release time. Shouldn't the goal be to keep it active even when you guys aren't releasing a brand spanking new version? Just my opinion of course.

 

[Jesus]

work + christmas = life - free time

 

[Zeonix]

Hmm...I have to work...I celebrate christmas...I have a life...and yet I can find the time to pop in every so often (not that I would since there are only a few people idling the channel).

 

[Phobius]

This is good to see why people are not visiting the channel anymore.

I'm also glad to hear that maybe the next competition might include IRC if its for that trivia thing I may script a nice bot for it if you want pain.

Still if your familair with IRC and just don't want to be bothered with it because 1 or 2 people don't go there anymore I think you should think twice about that because who knows there could be someone in there the same as the people you use to talk to but again nobody will ever replace ecchi_Hentai

If you still need help getting an IRC client or connecting to the correct server just toss me a pm and I will be glad to assist you personally.

[sub]

And I just uninstalled MIRC... Meh, i'll download it again and start idling the channel sometime soon.

 

[Big Kyle]

You're morbid.

You're an ass.

Go away.

Magus..

You couldnt accept the truth if it hit you in the face.

Yet you play it yourself.

Did he say it was a bad or good thing?

Dont assume.

Wow > #esf

 

[Ness]

KURT AND CUC DONT GO THERE ANYMORE
STOP LYING LIKE THAT >_<
Cuc has Cuc`jr to take care of now D;
