Kashiwaba Tomoe Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Using IRC involves a process known as idling. That means sitting and WAITING for a response. Sometime it's quick, sometimes it is not. The following (note the timestamps) is an example of how NOT to use it. [20:20] -->| fragsnippy (mibbit@27ea28c2.2b6f2293.d1cf996.31a16b5dX) has joined #loverslab [20:20] damn why is this chatroom always dead [20:21] |<-- fragsnippy has left irc.irchighway.net (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
Kashiwaba Tomoe Posted May 7, 2012 Author Posted May 7, 2012 Yet another example: [03:06] can anyone answer a question about pregnancy ng? please [03:08] |<-- luinil has left irc.irchighway.net (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) If you ask, wait more than two minutes before getting off if you expect an answer. For all you know, several people are there, they are just AFK or otherwise not looking at IRC for a few minutes.
Kashiwaba Tomoe Posted June 23, 2012 Author Posted June 23, 2012 Public notice: Wait more than 13 minutes to disconnect in a huff. [16:14] -->| Soulslayerzx (mibbit@322bbfaa.24624475.ca.frontiernet.net) has joined #loverslab [16:14] lol ima stay on here[16:14] so then more ppl can comes lol[16:27] holy crap[16:27] no ones ever on[16:27] god fuckin dammit[16:27] |<-- Soulslayerzx has left irc.irchighway.net (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
creeposaurus Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Lol'd. I think I've waited like 4 minutes max and did that "MAN ITS DAEAD!"
Kashiwaba Tomoe Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 [12:30] -->| caperpp (mibbit@20db5883.2486bca.home.cgocable.net) has joined #loverslab[12:30] any mesh editors online? [12:31] |<-- caperpp has left irc.irchighway.net (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) This is an example of how to NOT use IRC. If you can't wait more than sixty seconds for a response, then quite frankly you do not deserve it.
Ark of Truth Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I don't see the purpose of this thread. People will use it the way they want too. Just posting all this into a thread just seems a bit useless as no one is really going to give it much thought.
Kashiwaba Tomoe Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 Its a way to point out folks should wait more than 5 seconds before getting off in a huff
Kashiwaba Tomoe Posted July 3, 2012 Author Posted July 3, 2012 [04:12] -->| xpariah32 (mibbit@2f2211d7.3d6b14e3.c600.guam.net) has joined #loverslab [04:12] anybody here? need some help [04:13] |<-- xpariah32 has left irc.irchighway.net (Client exited) [04:13] if you'd hang around longer than 60 seconds ...
Queen Bee Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 It seems a bit trollish to post people's user names in a thread like this. If you're going to complain about this, the least you could do is omit their names.
gregathit Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I would agree that it needlessly points fingers at folks. Give them the benefit of the doubt, something may have called them away like in post 8. The point was made by making the thread. I don't go around posting user names for people that complain of CTD because they have messed up their load order and not followed directions. Honey catches more flies than vinegar ya know
Guest Donkey Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I don't go around posting user names for people that complain of CTD because they have messed up their load order and not followed directions. Honey catches more flies than vinegar ya know maybe you should.. Maybe then we would get less spam posts like this.

Honey catches more flies than vinegar ya know maybe you should.. Maybe then we would get less spam posts like this. Yea, I thought at one time about making a top ten worst load order list. Unfortunately, I would have had to put my name in the top three for my horrible load order back when I first started out many years ago.....
