Chat tip: Stay logged into the channel
Don't "hit and run". I stay logged in whenever my computer is on, and
scroll back to see what the current topic is about before diving into the fray. People will often be afk but logged in, either working or playing but with the chat window pushed to the back. The trick to chat is to just start talking like you've been there forever. No need to ask to ask, or to see if anyone's actively listening. If you're using the web link to join chat, make a new web browser window just for that so you can leave it running while you do other stuff. |

Chat tip: Stay logged into the channel
Anyone mind if I cut and paste a log of yesterday's IRC chat? Might give a
bit of flavor to what others are missing, and an understanding of the "flow" of the channel, how it's something to idle in, not flicker into for a minute. Perhaps the channel operator could add some code to copy the IRC log to a web page automatically. I've seen this done for some busy channels. |

I'd be happy to read it - and more importanly - see what time its happening! I suspect i"ve logge don when most of you are sound asleep.

I'm new to this chat stuff and appreciate the advice. Bobble |

Well, it sort of bothers me when people stay signed in and I'll tell you why. When I sign in and see people I think, "Oh good, someone to chat with!" Except that's not always the case. So I'll ask this favour of you: if you're afk (away from keyboard) change your nickname temporarily to yourname_afk so there isn't any confusion. It's easy enough to do - just type "/nick yourname_afk" (without the quotes) in the text box. Thanks! So far it's been a lot of fun! I've had to sign off and shut down my computer a few times due to severe thunderstorms and I'm sorry about that. Jill |
