Interesting/Obscure/Just Plain Weird IRC Channels reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FrankieSayRelax · 2013-05-10 04:08 I'm getting back into IRC after a few years away from it, and so far really enjoying it. As of yet I haven't ventured outside of Freenode. What are some interesting, obscure or just plain weird channels out there? I'm interested in most things so topic doesn't really matter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PoshBarbaricFlush · 2013-05-10 05:28 There's an IRC channel dedicated entirely to watching / discussing My Little Pony while getting as drunk / high as possible. That's pretty niche / weird. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- andyzweb · 2013-05-10 05:38 #dontjoinitsatrap on Rizon I think it still exists ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FrankieSayRelax · 2013-05-10 10:30 Haha, nice try. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ketchupboogie · 2013-05-10 12:44 irc.bondage.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- shadowh511 · 2013-05-10 15:22 Sounds normal to me ---------------------------------------------------------------------- shadowh511 · 2013-05-10 15:22 #geek on irc.ponychat.net is pretty cool ---------------------------------------------------------------------- faghat · 2013-05-10 15:25 \#DontJoinItsATrap is still a channel but trapbot has been disabled for about a year now :[ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PoshBarbaricFlush · 2013-05-10 15:30 Well if that's your style, we're at #mylittlealcoholic on p2p-net. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RoadieRich · 2013-05-10 16:24 irc://irc.foonetic.net/xkcd-signal - [if you say something that's been said before, you get a temporary ban](http://blag.xkcd.com/2008/01/14/robot9000-and-xkcd-signal- attacking-noise-in-chat/) irc://irc.foonetic.net/xkcd-noise - the opposite. There's also a number of other xkcd-related channels on foonetic, but I don't bother with most of them, for reasons you'll soon discover if you visit. irc://irc.foonetic.net/applestoapples - [Apples To Apples](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apples_to_Apples) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2013-05-10 19:47 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RylaiIsMyWaifu · 2013-05-10 23:05 NOOOOOOOOOOOO ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2013-05-10 23:15 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Franciscouzo · 2013-05-10 23:15 Jokes on you, I did /list #dontjoinitsatrap before joining. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- faghat · 2013-05-10 23:29 RIP tripbutt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nonplayer · 2013-05-11 01:41 Oh the good memories... first time I got there I was kinda pissed with the idea of a server doing that with its users. Few days later the channel was on my autojoin. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- noisypoppy · 2013-05-11 02:26 #sexylosers on freenode http://www.denahomchikn.com/ :D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2013-05-15 13:33 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lnkg564 · 2013-06-03 17:47 irc.gorf.us #chats ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2013-06-17 12:04 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nomanoid · 2013-06-25 18:32 I'm curious as to what that was all about. Missed the boat entirely. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nonplayer · 2013-06-25 20:16 It was a channel where, if you joined, you couldnt leave until you did some things. For IRC users, the simple idea of some server forcing your client to do something you didnt want to was not very welcome... so there was always someone trying to reconnect or talk with an ircop or just raging. To leave you had to either win some game, or use some command that could either mute you or kick you out of the channel. So, as soon as you left the channel, instead of feeling relief there was this feeling of "I need to go back... I NEED TO SAVE MY PEOPLE!". It was fun as hell. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nomanoid · 2013-06-25 20:20 Hahaha! That sounds fun indeed. I miss the good old IRC days in general. I'm brazilian and not many servers are actually juicy these days around here. Not that I'm aware of, at least.
