The Dink Network

please do not quit a few seconds after you join..

it's already rather empty there, and you aren't helping by not staying.

or atleast stay a little longer so that we have time to answer your "hello, ANUBODY THEERE??, NO THEN BYEE!!"

just a tip from your friendly neighborhood 24/7 irc-idler

PS. it's driving me nuts.

eldron, my goth pal, you are always sleeping when I pop into the chat, I notice this after talking to myself for 10 mins. or so; besides why do you always hang out in there? Is that another fad?

>^..^<

We hang out there just to trya ndg et idlers in the chahnel. Forgive us for trying to better the community.

And I love you too WC (WTH did he say??)

>^..^<

yeah umm i know this is prolly not nice but it really ticks me off to try and get someone to answer a question to find that theres 3 ppl in the room but noone of them are there..... =(
guess were just post to use the boards....

AeSwE, I saw your messages after I got back from the store. You know, you didn't stay in there very long. And don't rely on WC - he leaves often. And ChanServ isn't gonna talk to you. You need to stay longer.

Right, I'm gonna agree with eldron now. You guys join and stay for about 30 seconds, then leave. Remember, this is not a completely active channel. I'm sure we don't need a bot to say 'hi' to everybody (though that would be kinda neat).

I have actually set ChanServ to do that whenever you join.. It works for me:

from (chanserv) [#dinksmallwood] Welcome to the official Dink Smallwood chatroom

That's not very personal now is it?

Why not make it send you a random greeting message when you enter the chat room? Not that I ever do that...

Why not take it a step further and have custom welcome messages for users? Then have a welcome message like "Get a life n00b!" if you don't have a message made for you yet. Stupid idea, but I don't contribute good ones for chat rooms that I never visit.

Perhaps you should visit?

umm by the way i stayed there for 10 mins, rebooted my comp and stayed for about 5 more.... i think that was plenty long enuff... i figured it out neways later heh

Generally it can be pretty quiet there - and 15 minutes in IRC isn't that long to be idle, but oh well

it gets realy boring waiting for someone say something when you come in....

it gets really boring to wait for someones throat to slash!..

oh and Kat, try some different and more frequent times ;P, I'm almost always there anyway.

Well, throats don't just slash themselves. You should take some initiative.

Can I have the blood?

yeh, but the throats never visit #dinksmallwood.. GIVE ME TEH THROATS!! ARRR!

You name may be there, eldron, but you are not.


>^..^<

WC, my love...(lol) do you expect me to wait forever? Time is money, and I see you wrote:
Right after these people left, I went to answer them. Why don't you answer us when we are there? a brb..or hold on a sec would suffice.

>^..^<

basically the irc chat is meant for ppl to get ticked off at but maybe ill try and hang around in there so pop in there every so often just to chat, if we get it runnign then some people might start staying in there and we wouldnt have this problem!! hehe but if u notice.... the boards get lots of attention

GRRRR.... Bring back the java chat client so i dont have to ge trillian!

Time is money? What a crock of shoot. Seriously. Currently, the time dimension is on the X-axis (only). What happens when we discover the Y and Z axes? Then can we manipulate our position in the space-time continuum and increase or decrease our financial earnings? No. Therefore, time is not money.

Sorry, they were only available when we were using aXpi.net, which we don't anymore. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm sure you're PC has the little space it takes to install an IRC client. It's a lot more convenient than Java applets anyway. IMO.

Merlin,when I said *Time is money*, I meant I can't afford to be on the internet all day as it cost me money. Why must you take everything I say so literally. How about *Nothing is Free*?

>^..^<

I can name 3 things off the top of my head for that

1) Life is free.*
2) Water is free.
3) Air pollution is free.

*: For you.

heres some stuff i found that u can get for free.

1)idiocy
2)ignorance
3)Dink Smallwood

see lots of stuff are free!

Ps-(heh not trying to dis dink i love the fact that its free !! )

I somehow can't get in with Trillian, because it doesn't connect/oppen the #dinksmallwood channel... in fact, it doesn't open any channel!

you stayed exactly 77 SECONDS! I was in the other room doing something real quick. You can wait a few minutes and idle? Gosh.

Dinkmega: How about you try a decent IRC client. Trillian, HA! Try:

Klient
Chatzilla
Visual IRC (vIRC)
IRSSI
mIRC
X-Chat
