Some of us at /r/teenagers have started our own network for young people, come check it out! (also, suggestions and opinions are welcome!) reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nicd · 2012-06-24 07:15 What's the point of having your own network? Why should someone choose your network over just having a channel on some other like QuakeNet? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TehZomB · 2012-06-24 07:32 Cool stuff. Joined up :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hintss · 2012-06-24 08:10 ours is more awful. duh. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-06-24 11:52 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- daggity · 2012-06-24 18:05 Ageists! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheShadowFog · 2012-06-25 01:37 I'm connecting for the hell of it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aevum1 · 2012-06-25 01:47 so, its a network for pedophiles to come hunt for teen girls ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ravia · 2012-06-25 05:33 Ageist crap. Reminds me of people who were all about the "youth" in the Arab Spring (know summer nightmare I guess). Meanwhile some 60 year old guy is more forward looking than most of the "youth" and gets beaten by police in prison for days. Is he part of the "youth movement"? No? Why not? Maybe "youth" is a dumb category for organizing things. 99 percent of teenagers that I see are like 17 going on 47, shutting down one region of being after another... Good luck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- keve · 2012-06-25 11:44 We have a lot of teen girls, but also strict [rules against harassment](http://awfulnet.org/user-policy/). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Neoinr · 2012-06-25 11:45 A) we're only teen-oriented, everyone is welcome B) It's so ironic. We've had a bunch of teens complaining, talking about how "teens can never be good operators". So, we have older people complaining about how it's oriented to young people, and young people complaining about how it's run by young people. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Neoinr · 2012-06-25 11:46 You were young once! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-06-25 11:49 You just can't please anybody these days. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-06-25 14:39 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ravia · 2012-06-25 16:10 Well, I have to say I thought "IRC" meant something different entirely! I thought it was some sort of world improvement topic, for some really weird reason. As for IRC, as in Internet Relay Chat, the teens are welcome to it. No one on there knows how to have a decent conversation, in the main. There's quite a lot of sitting there in a zone saying nothing and bsing and of course a ton of talk about gaming and what not. I guess that's pretty negative on my part :-/ I'd probably be all "get outta my yard!" and annoy people anyhow. Good luck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NeedAGoodUsername · 2012-06-25 22:33 I'd add some nicknames to the erroneous nickname list as I was able to nick to AwfulnetStaff/awfulnet-staff/staff and any new user might believe these nicks to be genuine. Also make a section on how to appeal klines (or glines (they are K on freenode)) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- keve · 2012-06-25 23:57 Will look into all of that! Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-06-26 05:19 [deleted]
