Holy amazingness, batman! We got pinned! And I thought this chat wasn't "official." Seems someone changed their minds! =D

[Zeddy]

It's in the off-topic so it officially has nothing to do with GMC! : D

[Sir]

But it's officially pinned! Booyah!

This is a public service announcement.

Sometimes in the channel we see this happen (edited so as to not point out anyone specific):

15:48 * ***** (this!is@an.address) has joined #gmc
15:49 <******> Ohai guise anyone here?
15:50 <******> Guess not
15:50 * ****** (this!is@an.address) has left #gmc

Do note the timestamps that show the event to take place in less than two minutes. IRC (and, indeed, all instant messengers) are a sort of hybrid between forum posts and a phone call. On a forum no one should be surprised at a person taking several days to reply to something because they might have other things to do, and while someone might be logged in to an IRC channel all day long, they're not necessarily there at the moment. They might be making a sandwich, taking a leak or making an informative forum post for people.

A bit ago I saw someone log in, stay for two minutes and log out just like in the example above. I saw this 3 minutes after the fact and would've greeted him if he'd do us the kindness of staying for it. So would others, presumably.

This has been a public service announcement. We thank you for understanding.

Yeah, Battlezone has some of that too. It's a relatively small community, and it has a chat lobby for chilling out between games, chatting, or whatever. I see a few people who just pop in, say hi, and then leave. It's equally annoying there as it is in IRC, you can't always be there to greet them, and they can't expect people to stare at their screen to instantly reply. The game doesn't even use much RAM because it's an old game, and an IRC client doesn't use much RAM either. There's no reason one cannot just leave it running and hang around for more than 2 measly minutes.

My crappy IRC bot, GLaDOS, had to have her SEEN LOG erased to fix a glitch of some kind where she ignored all messages typed by "Big_J". Now it will take a while to become useful again.

Not that anyone cares... I care though, now I can't find out the last join or quit of anybody before now. "Niggerbot" still has the "last words" though. Very handy.

Hey none of the links for the chat works....

All three links in the first post seem to be working fine here.

[theweirdn8]

Well the link keeps flashing the screen. I do not know what is going on...

#gmc ヽ( ｡ ヮﾟ)ノ
#gmc at irc.twigathy.com if you have your own client,
or #gmc at irc.boredicons.com if that doesn't work,
or #gmc at irc.lessthan3.net if that doesn't work either.

When I click any link there, it opens Mibbit.com, an in-browser IRC client, and prompts me to choose a nickname. I then click "Go" and I'm in the chat.

Since I use my own client, here's a screenshot of my "BoredIRC" network list, I had to add it myself:

I told you in a PM. It was meant to be a prank.

So...hopefully some idiot reports my prank to IGN. Then I can have a laugh.
