Shmitz said:Yeah, an IRC channel, especially when it's young and only has a few people in it, is less like an IM service and more like e-mail that has a chance to spontaneously evolve into real-time conversation.
It helps if people do stay logged in. For one, it reassures visitors that it's not a dead channel, and new people are more likely to stick around. Secondly, if you're lurking you're far more likely to notice when there's activity than if you're not there at all. ;P
I personally try to keep my list of channels visible at the bottom of my desktop, underneath everything, so that even if I'm busy working on some project in another program I can look down and notice that one of the channel names is red, meaning somebody has spoken.
yeah but i just check the channel when im on the net, which can usually be not long especially when i got lots of work to do
