average admins

I’ve become an IRC junkie lately. The problem is that I have no rooms to hang out in - I always feel like I’m jumping into someone else’s conversation, kinda like the smelly guy that no one likes at the party. As I was getting shunned last night in #fluxbox, I thought to myself, “Self, why not make a #texarkana room, or an #averageadmins room so people can chat late at night when they are bored?” We all have something in common, so at least we would have something to talk about.

This would be an easy, zero-cost thing to do - someone just jumps on one of the IRC networks (irc.us.freenode.net is my choice) and creates the room.

Problem is, I don’t know how many of you care or even know about IRC.

Since I can’t do a poll here, I’d like to see how many responses I get to this, so if you like the idea, let me know. I’ll create the room tonight and let it sit up all weekend, and we’ll see what happens. Chris, if you have any advice on how to do this, let me know.

FYI, here is a quick howto on IRC:
