Hi Bellsisland, I agree, its fun and has the additional value as a 2nd gathering point for members and nonmembers alike as well as a great way to get to know people. Forums are fantastic mediums for sharing of information and ideas and a chatroom is the perfect compliment to a community like this one.
The chatrooms popularity is growing by 10-20% weekly and now is getting about 75 people joining the channel daily. Which is why I put out a call to anyone with IRC experience that is interested in helping moderate the place. I have been doing it alone but do not have very much time each day to stay there and play host.
Members can send me a message or post here, non members are also welcome to apply and can do so by joining the network and contacting
Aragorn in any channel there.
These are the positions needing to be filled- Channel Helper - No experience required, must be able to spend at least a couple hours daily in the chatroom as a host
- Channel Operator - Experience in IRC is helpful as well as knowledge of commands i.e. Bans, kicks and channel modes. (4 hours a day min.)
- Network Operator - Experience necessary in adding K-lines and G-lines as well as repairing netsplits and use of the DEFCON security system. (6 hours a day.)
Peace
