Join the IRC!
Well, as everybody knows, we have a shoutbox. What a lot of people know is that there's never anybody on the shoutbox. What ever few people know is that the reason nobody's ever on the shoutbox is because we use an IRC channel instead. It's a irc.otherworlders.org/#mythweavers. If you don't have an IRC client, we have help here.
Some of you might as why this is better than the shoutbox. I mean, we already have a decent chatroom of our own? So, in the past ten minutes, I whipped up this handy table to prove why IRC is better.
So, of these nine things (and there's more small things), the shoutbox has
one advantage over IRC, while IRC channel has eight. Rigo plans on adding more features to the shoutbox, but for now the channel is much more useful.
EDIT: To register, type in /nick yournick then /ns register yourpassword youremail. Then nobody can use your nickname without it being clear that they're faking it.
So, join in! We'd love to see your there!
