Metachat IRC? So kellydamnit mentioned here that we really need a MeCha IRC channel. I think it's a great idea myself. How about it? Does anyone know how to go about setting one up? I am an IRC n00b.

but i'll happily believe everyone really sounds like dodgygeezer

it's just a matter of picking a channel name and agreeing to a server. You don't really need your own, you can always use something like efnet

what kellydamnit said. pick a server, name a chan.

So what is a good server? Maybe we could set up a scheduled chat time or something?

How about this. I'm on efnet now, in #metachat, if anyone else is bored and still awake.

posted by kellydamnit 09 July | 00:35

And I'm in.

oh, and efnet sucks. all the big nets do. irc.metafilter.com #mefi is MUCH better.

posted by quonsar 09 July | 00:55

they should just join #gaydads4sons on efnet

I once joined #daddyslittlegirls, but it wasn't anything like I thought it would be.

I just joined #metachat on EFnet, and everyone was asleep.

I thought sleep was verboten on IRC.

Oh, no. People are awake, nevermind.

Mudpuppie, I know you're up.

posted by taz 09 July | 02:55

You know I love the shoutouts. I'm easy that way.

Awesome. We have a new toy. Fun night, everyone. :)

no one home - i guess i'll catch you all later

That was great fun, though I had to leave before the party was over. Friday nights seem to be pretty good for night-owl USians, early-rising Europeans, and mid-morning down-underoos.

What did I take away with me? Many secret confessions, and the term "cockbunnies".

posted by taz 09 July | 08:06

Damn, I missed the party. Give a holla next time you want to do it.

posted by matildaben 09 July | 09:41

i missed it too...next weekend?

posted by amberglow 09 July | 13:22

I visited #mefi a couple of times lately. saw one or two names i recognized, nobody was very talkative. probably went at bad times tho.

I plan to pop in regularly to see who is around since I'm a complete IRC junkie.
But yes, drinking and IRC, and suddenly you all know my darkest secrets.
(and yes, I'm on again. But this time I'm sober).
