Skype Group or IRC?
« on: March 18, 2015, 01:37:25 pm »
Just wondering what you guys think of starting a Skype Group or an IRC channel just for Utterly Mad peeps. Technically there's already a Skype Group, so maybe people can just join that.

Pls dont do skype. It tends to freeze too much, and has many more flaws after the semi-recent update.

I'd say move to the IRC or another means of conversation. Skype nearly killed the computer I'm working on, and its a 50/50 shot for me if it works. Sometimes I'll get a flawless experience. Other times it just dies of a heartattack.

I personally prefer Skype just because is starts whenever I turn my computer on, but I can do that with my IRC client as soon as I get off my lazy ass. So, I'm cool with whichever.

Bear in mind: you can't have really goofy avatars in IRC. Jussayin'.

I may have found a solution... we use the forums and have both a Skype and IRC chat for the people that want both.

We don't do much calling in the skype, if that's any consolation. It's mainly done with text.

I like to call though, I miss our group being small enough to be able to video chat. :V

And hell you and Stopsignal could prolly talk to each other in spanish if y'all are on the call at the same time.

Rezzing this thread, because the issue doesn't seem resolved yet and I finally got around to figuring out IRC.

We'd need a channel, and for that we'd need to choose a network. CDDA runs on FreeNode, I've had a bit of experience in Quakenet, but for the most part all IRC networks are the same with some small differences usually regarding built-in bots.

After we pick a network, we need a channel. And a channel needs a name. #UtterlyMad works fine if that's okay with everyone. After that, we need some kind of bot or someone really dedicated to stay in the channel all the gosh dang time. If a channel is empty, it gets deleted from the list and everything associated with it (chat logs, admin information, probably bans) goes away.

Once that's all set up, we should have a proper IRC channel up and running 24/7. Hoo-raaay.

Ok. I tried to set up an IRC once. Hated it. That's another admin position though.
