No one says much in the IRC when I go in there. :< It makes me a sad panda. Is it only active during certain times?

There's a knack to IRC. It mostly involves staying logged in for long stretches and constantly checking the window.

usually the evening block> 6pm central -> 12central is the most active. The night crawler europeans/brits are still on, the americans are off of school/work, and the early bird asians are starting to get up.

Protip though: Roogle has been starting Dokal RPs around 12 central, and if you give him a real name, he'll let you in xD

I'm against a chat box. I don't have any authority, but whatever. I always think it looks ugly and tacky on usually abandon sites that have it. Time and effort should be put into something more productive.

Besides, #eoff exists for this very reason. It's not hard to get on there.

Why use the chatbox when you can just make a thread concerning the topic you want to talk about. It's just frivolous.

Oh, and, we don't want to be like Fool's Gold blah, blah, blah.

I'm for this simply because everyone else is against it.

I actually rather like chatboxes but when we have a good quality chat room I really don't quite see the need for it. It'd be cool for a while but then it would inevitably lose some of its sparkle and age and never be used again. Certainly that's how it used to be with Fool's Gold one, a forum that never really had a good IRC channel.
