Would you have any interest in a FST IRC channel?

I'd also join the irc and implementing this once and seeing how it goes wont hurt I guess.

P.S:I think the reason why there are less comments is because no one checks these parts of the forum.I accidentally stumbled upon the poll when my browser redirected me to the Home page rather than the regular forum page.

That pretty much answers your question doesn't it?

No. I don't like IRC and I wouldn't use it. But I don't mind FST having an IRC channel if it pleases enough people.

PS: I talked to IdolEyes on IRC once. True story.

I'd hit it.

9/10

EDIT: On a more serious note, I would also idle there, chat when there's an ongoing conversation etc. It would be fun, I don't know why it isn't getting the support it should. I'm on some IRC channels with less than 8 people (doing work/cracking protections) but it does remain active. I don't see why there would be any argument over activity when the demand is present.

If it becomes a ghost town for weeks on end, then sure. But given how active these forums are on a regular basis, and how sarcastic/enjoyable a hypothetical IRC conversation could be with members from here, I doubt many people can actually give a solid "no" unless they either despise the platform, or have no interest in the 1337 community we have here.

This has already been asked and ignored in the past, along with why this place doesn't have a ssl cert so people can search in safety from prying eyes.
IRC would be a good Idea for help and advice and ,well basic discussion, thats what we do on here anyway.
And If the admin of the channel allows it, he/she could setup a bot or 2 to spit out the newest topics/nzb's etc.
Myself i think its a no brainer as too why you haven't already got an IRC channel setup on say efnet or any of the multitude of other secure networks out there.not saying efnet is secure but its the oldest for sure.
