Idlers of IRC; why do you idle? reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- voidboi · 2017-02-20 03:34 There is more to life than IRC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mydogbutthead · 2017-02-20 04:14 Is there, though? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- voidboi · 2017-02-20 04:27 Yes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mydogbutthead · 2017-02-20 04:43 Huh. TIL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1percentof1 · 2017-02-20 07:57 because i've been on irc for over 18 years ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sailingonward · 2017-02-20 09:27 To catch missed conversation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Madbrad200 · 2017-02-20 10:52 I think this needs more investigation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TwoFoxSix · 2017-02-20 11:45 Oh man, I bet your history file is coming up on 15MB in size! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- atom138 · 2017-02-20 13:12 Slap me around a bit with a large trout fam. Khaled Mardem-Bey all the way! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kellyzdude · 2017-02-20 17:20 The same reason lurkers are on reddit: Sometimes I just like to read the conversation, and not contribute to it. Many of the channels I'm in are sporadically active, and had I not been present (or had my bouncer present) I would miss most of the activity that happens while I'm out enjoying the "life" that "exists" outside of IRC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kellyzdude · 2017-02-20 17:20 I mean, there's reddit, right? Reddit and IRC, I'm not sure there's too much else. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wantonexplosion · 2017-02-20 17:37 That's some crazy uptime. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sangasd · 2017-02-20 18:20 Voidboi, I see you lurkin'! Get back to work! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iamanalterror · 2017-02-20 18:41 We're just not on IRC 100% of the time, and use an IRC bouncer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iamanalterror · 2017-02-20 18:42 15MB is nothing, friend. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- spling44 · 2017-02-20 19:54 Because [IRC Is Not A Synchronous Medium](https://zenhack.net/2017/01/08/public-service-announcement- irc-is-not-a-syncronous-medium.html). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gatewayy · 2017-02-21 00:12 I've been on longer than 18 years, where did the time go? Also, IdleRPG is a thing that you should try. ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- notoriousOIT · 2017-02-21 01:41 Been logging maybe 15 channels for almost 3 years non-stop. Just now hitting 130mb in total log file size. Ha. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FranzGames · 2017-02-21 11:57 I remain logged in to see what happened before and see if anybody is looking for help and I might be able to help when I get back to my computer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Saber_UK · 2017-02-22 21:28 I ain't losing my IdleRPG streak! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2017-02-25 14:34 [removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2017-02-28 12:37 [removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rockintheairwaves · 2017-03-15 06:16 Our network IdleRPG channel seems to be full of a bunch of anti-social users who never have anything to say...
