most of the modding community chats on IRC, so it'd be kick ass if everyone that isn't already there would idle and/or talk in the #qc channel on irc.gamesurge.net.
see you there. |

I'll be back on IRC once I get internet back. The school here blocks IRC out and the flooding took out the internet connection at my home.  _________________ When my computer inevitably explodes and kills me, my cat inherits everything I own. He may be the only one capable of continuing my work. |

I don't like the distraction. #qc is nothing but small-talk anyway. _________________ F. A. Špork, an enlightened nobleman and a great patron of art, had a stately Baroque spa complex built on the banks of the River Labe. |

I agree, and it's sad really... Off-topic chat is nice, if it doesn't take over the entire channel. I remember once when I brought up qc talk, including code samples, people said I should move that somewhere else, to not pollute the channel. I was completely dumbfounded by this, and wondered how it could possibly pollute a channel if someone for once was on topic... Put in other words: WTF! _________________ Look out for Twigboy |

yeah the off-topic talk was rather boring to be honest
i don't really bother going into IRC anymore because of the distractions and useless blabble that goes on.
i may make a return one day, or at least a little bit before qexpo, during, and a bit after.
don't know, see how things turn out.
i'll be most likely relocating and i don't know what dates that will fall on as of yet. _________________ Unit reporting!

Oh come on! You can't talk about QC 24/7! #qc is a place for QC coders to chat, but not neccesarily about Quake.
That said, I have never seen anyone get shouted down for discussing QC there, and I have often done so myself. |

I don't visit #qc anymore. I've never been actually yelled at for bringing up actual Quake topics, but all too often ignored until I go away. I go to #darkplaces and #prydon because I can often get questions and comments that are Quake-mod related there. And I can make small talk, too.
You can't talk QC code 24/7, but it wouldn't hurt to do it a little. Just a little...

I like #qc because its friendly people. But Its not a really good location to speak about modding. So I use more forums. And I am not much IRC fanboy. But as always, #QC guys are nice by default |

I'm not saying it's regularly happening that coding talk would be looked down upon in #qc, and I'm not surprised that it hasn't happened to you. It just did to me, once, but once too many. The whole idea of complaining about that, IN THERE, was just outrageous to me.
I'm also not asking anyone to talk qc 24/7, that's ridiculous... But, I think Wazat nailed it again, it wouldn't hurt to stay on topic just a little... The amount of actual qc talk in #qc is so low it shouldn't be called #qc in the first place... #retiredquakemoddersrus sounds more like it. (yes I'm aware of the active modders in there, being one of them) _________________ Look out for Twigboy |

Well maybe if everyone complaining about #qc not being qc enough were to go there and converse on the subject then we'd discuss it more frequently :p |
