    Yes the Feds only go after the users that use IRC......
    When was the last time you heard of someone getting busted for beeing on irc. Or for that matter when was the last time you heard of anyone getting a visit form the feds for using a Fileserver on irc....

    As for getting people in irc, i understand the idea. But i dont think "Bribing" people to hang out in irc is the right way to go. I just look at my self, Im active in most of the irc chans i join by myself, rather than the once that try to get me there by offering me upload credits.
    Dont see the point in having 2000 users on Irc when only 30 of them actually chat.

    And irc is a grate way to get help. Im not talking about invites here, im talking about regular help for just about anything. From hardware advice, software help and all the way to your math homework. You would be supriced the ammount of knolage that you can find in 50 people that got some speare time on their hands.

    You don't need to join irc for help, the FTS community has given me advice about both hardware and software with excellent results.

    I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it. (Terry Prattchet)

    If no one went into the irc channel then there wouldn't be anyone to kick-ban

    I never said that all the advice was good or that the sarcasm isn't waist deep.

    i dont see the point in being there though if all you do is sit there for days/weeks/months and never participate.

    I would rather have 30 active users in IRC than 100 in there just idling to get a bonus and maybe 10 chatting now and again.

    but saying that, we have about 70-80 in Blackcats IRC, maybe 20-30 talk, the others just sit there, and we do not have any bonuses for upload because you are in IRC and we never will either.
