We practically use these forums that way as it is..

Can anyone suggest a good, easily accessible IRC network we could camp out on?

Is #CanonSLRTalk in our futures?

Trying to configure my server so that efnet lets me log int.
It doesn't like DES encrypted identd responses...
I may get there yet...

Couple cameras, buncha lenses, 2 scanners, 2 printers. It's what you do with it that counts. Think people walked up to Tolkien and said 'Wow, great books! You must have a really good typewriter'?
 
I've been in chats before (not on IRC). When there's more than about 3 or 4 people, it gets WAY too confusing. Too many sub-conversations break out, and you can't tell what's going on (well, I can't).

At least here you can peruse through the threads, which help keep things at least somewhat organized).

The only problem is that some good conversation may never make it here. I still think it's worth a try. Everyone would have to agree on which network it should be on.

Talking about something OTHER than the 10D, meeting people, I'm enjoying it.

Why don't you join us?

It gets too confusing when there's more than 3 or 4 people trying to talk, IMO, in an unstructured chat-like environment.

Been there, done that.

But if it keeps people away from here . . . . hehe

Start a danged 10D channel!

If you press connect is perfectly normal that it takes a little while before you see something, thats the connecting time to the server,

greets,
