little chatty?

irc.freenode.org allows you to create chat channels. So why not have a team-bhp irc channel where we can hang out and chat. Need not be moderated. Just go to irc.freenode.org and say /join #team-bhp in your irc client

Is it irc.freenode.org or irc.freenode.net??
Because I tried "irc.freenode.org" and it doesn't open.

Sorry for bumping up this thread. I came across it when looking for an IRC channel for team-bhp.

What happened to this idea?

Oh, and if you don't have an IRC client, you could just go to webchat.freenode.com

I'll try popping in now and then.

#team-bhp

That's the right channel right?

I'm BlitzHere on the channel

EDIT: also, can the mods please change the title of this thread to team-bhp IRC channel? "little chatty" is a little non-specific, wouldn't you think?

I read here that most members are already on MSN

http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/collec...tml#post124398

But that's from 2005. I'm not sure that's still applicable. But in any case, all of us aren't one IM provider - whether it's MSN, gmail or yahoo. So, I think something neutral like IRC chatrooms will be a great idea. Also, there's no need to have a separate IRC client either as this works just fine.

freenode Web IRC (qwebirc)

Also, a lot of phones have IRC apps designed for them. So, I don't think it's a problem for mobile users either.

So, what do you people think? Would it be possible to make #team-bhp the official team-bhp IRC channel? Are there any problems with that?

EDIT: Sorry for the double post but I just came across that second reference to IRC channels and I thought I should post about it and the edit time's over...
