Irc??

hi there everybody..

i just noticed that there is no forum dedicated to internet relay chat (IRC)... although there are several threads focused on this, i think it is quite better if there is a forum where questions on IRC are tackled head-on in a purely academic level...

anyway, this is just my two cents...

so long..

is this a Question??? It looks like a suggestion. I think you may directly post this sort of questions in the Suggestion Thread..!

And how would an IRC forum help the general Unix public? It's not even necessarily Unix-centric.

but then, livinfree, irc has been an integral part of the networking community, regardless of OS's installed in their system... Also, IRC has long spawned a "culture" of its own - programming, design, architecture...

for one, everybody could go to the homepage of mIRC for help in using the client Smilie , but that page do not provide technical overview and information on its architecture...

Linux has its own built-in irc client, we can get one also for freebsd, etch... The point here is that an IRC forum could go a long way in not only providing general help in IRC for the ordinary users but also a venue for the development of IRC (for the developers and enthusiasts)- of course focused on UNIX and the other *nix platform...

anyway, i am very much open for critiques... i only want to discuss the feasibility of having an IRC forum in an academic approach...

thans for your responses...

Well, I guess the decision would ultimately be up to Neo, since he is the admin.

In the meantime, google found lots of IRC Forums:
