IRC chat

[Flygon]

I'll cut to the chase.

I think Sega-16 would benefit from an IRC chatroom. I'd like a universal way to talk to people without this AIM/MSN nonsense.:daze:

[Baloo]

I like that idea. I frequent chatrooms and think it could really benefit people that want to talk to a certain person, or just want to talk about video games.

I just posted the DC-Talk chat. You can use that one in the mean time if you please. They are Sega fan / tech guys there too.

What a shameless plug^

I am behind the Sega-16 IRC chat though.

I know im new here but the Flashchat engine is kind of better than irc. you should check it out.

[Flygon]

Bumping to generate interest. :p

To be honest, our community is too small at the moment for a chat room. Remember, even if your community is large, chances are the chat room inner-community will be small.

Also, trolls like to lurk in chatrooms and harass people that come in, and I feel that would damage our community.

And last, Chat rooms cost money for bots if you want them to be permanently there.

I think we should wait a bit and see if our community gets larger before getting a chatroom.

large community chatrooms = crowded chatrooms aka places which suck, such as #retro in irc.badnik.net :P

Nothing's worse than a medium-to-small size chatroom where barely anyone talks, and what chatter is there is directed towards harassing newcomers :/.

Chatrooms are dank and dirty places, stick to MSN people.

I feel a well moderated chat room could work wonderfully... I wouldn't really mind if it was small, all you need is one person to talk to start a ball rolling.

Plus this community is more mature than Sonic Retro. There, I said it.

BUMP.

I'd visit from time to time. Just tried #tavern on EFnet and it's empty...

I'd like to see a Sega-16 chatroom.

I don't see what the big fuss over large chat rooms is.

TASVideos manages a perfectly fine 100+ person chatroom on FreeNode (Terrible server, don't use it, netsplits, urg) without too much drama, it doesn't even need many active ops on duty.

[Sparksterz]

I'd go to it. It's a rare occasion to be able to just talk about specific Sega games/oddities etc. I think it would be fun!

So I changed my opinion. Bite me you fucking banned moron.
