I don't see the appeal to IRC. For one, I'd have to have a name. Why would you want that? Then you'll develop some sort of reputation and people will judge you before you even speak because they know you and what you are like. Being anonymous is superior, because every thread is a blank slate.

Then you have to deal with live chatting... and if you want to be accepted you gotta stroke the regulars' dicks... and everyone is always so damn proud of themselves...

And I always hear about petty drama going on. Why would I want anything to do with that? Every aspect of it makes me sick.

But what's the point in talking to someone if you have no idea who they are, you have no way to identify them? It's kind of hard to do so when you can't tell anyone apart. Of course, IRCs seem to attract some of the most annoying pricks around, but IRC isn't the only method of communicating.

You don't go on an IRC channel and make internet friends. You make internet friends and build an IRC channel.

thing is a comunity always have rules, unspoken or otherwise. it's all about the atmosphere. it doesn't have to cover all 360°, but you'll have to be fine with all it covers, or there'll be asspain at some point. Of course this applies to everyone part of it.

You guys are making IRC channels waaaay too confusing. If you're joining a social-focused channel, of course people won't be all super friendly at first. You're better off just avoiding them all together.

Most IRC channels are organized around games so all you have to do is befriend guys on the games and then you can talk to them on IRC easily.

It's better to make friends on game focused irc channels and then add them on instant messenger or steam or whatever.

I think email is a great tool. Providing you don't simply say "hi". It's like writing a letter, you'd have to introduce something to discuss, and the other person will other discuss it, or propose to change the topic.

I think it'd be great, because you have time to think about what you want to say, and can say something more meaningful because you have time.

If anyone here isn't really that confident or interested in joining an IRC or similar (such as myself) and just wants to meet people on a more personal basis, I more than welcome conversation with people that share the same interests as me.
