Alternative IRC

[tramsan]

Back when the purchase of HZ was first announced I created a Horizons IRC channel on a separate network, in case the official one was discontinued. This channel is unaffiliated with any party, completely neutral and entirely unofficial. It exists as an alternative to the official channel and sees a lot of activity around the clock. A lot of the folks that were in the old official channel are in this new one. I thought it would be prudent to bring this up now that the old network is shut down.

The connection info is:
Address: irc.netstable.net
Port: 6667
Channel: #horizons

Feel free to come join us. We're a whole bunch of people now. Remember, though, that this channel is run by yours truly, so only my rules apply (which aren't many - don't worry 'bout that.)


Edit: If you need a primer on IRC I posted one on the GN Unity forum back when: This link will take you offsite

That channel is also great if you ant to \bucket someone or ask a question to the \8ball

It is a great channel, lots of fun

Kudos to Tramsan for hosting it for us, thank you

The big plus' about this IRC channel to me are:
1) that pretty much any topic is open for discussion.
2) everyone is given a voice, not just forum admins.
3) you dont have to worry about being muted... even if EII staff shows up(which Ive never seeen happen)
4) you are respected for who you are and what you have to offer.

There are many more, but thats all I can think of in a brief period of time.
