Well it is the dawn of a glorious battle between the various scions of Phade for the right to ascend to become the one true ruler of animemusicvideos.org.

Would they now? My exprience usually finds that with new IRC channels you'll have a certain population who will just stop on by to check things out and then a larger portion that will sort "stick it out" for awhile. If they start dropping off, for one reason or another, then the channel is on a downhill roll.

I'd say *IF* the majority of them stick it out for say, oh at least a good 3 weeks it *might* develop into a popular hangout. But the likelyhood of that is very low. One of the reasons why the AIM chat room is popular is simply because of the fact that there are no rules. If the IRC chat has rules though, then really, it's not any different from chatting on the board, which most people are already familiar with and used to.

I'm curious, what exactly would you say that the new IRC channel has to offer that the boards don't already have?

Oh noez! There's no chatroom I never visited in the first place and I don't like AIM! The cummunity as we know it is daed because AD now controls the chat room I never visited!!!!!! :(


:roll:


So essentially what you're saying is that since you've never been to either chat room they somehow don't count in relation to the structure and sociology of this community?

Huh, you certainly are high on yourself, aren't you?

Perhaps, but then which environment is better suited towards off topic conversation, one in which there are no rules, or one in which there are rules?

The idea of an off topic environment with rules outside of attempts to destroy the environment is somewhat contradictory in terms.

AIM Chat Room rules


There's a big difference between having rules and enforcing rules.

Ah, but you never said anything about the rules being enforced. :roll:

Besides, I have gone to the AIM chat for more than 2 years and it's a shadow of its former self. It used to be every night from 8 PM to midnight EST and beyond you could find at least two or three back-to-back lively conversations with 15-20 people. I'm not exactly sure when it started but may 9-12 months ago, those conversations started drying up and although there might be a lot of people in there, no one's talking. It's kind of depressing. But perhaps I'm missing the "primetime hours"?

ya, its actually a law that if a law isnt inforced, you can break it. its just that if they start inforcing it, they can also get u for the rules u broke when they werent enforcing it... pretty pointless law :?

It seems to be jumpin with conversation every time I show up...of course I suppose that it's possible that's just a result of me, although I don't know if I'm enough of an egotist to really make such a sweeping claim without definitive analysis.

the AIM chatroom was notorious for having random 10-20 min dry spells where no one talked for what ever reason and just idled there. Other than that it was pretty lively.

The IRC channel actually has some interesting and entertaining stuff going on in it? I visited the aim chat room occassionally over the time it was around. I could never stand it. Lots of mindless drivel for the most part. I've actually been talking in the new irc channel more than I do on any of my other channels.
What does it have to offer that the forum doesnt? Well, perhaps its a bit too obvious for you to notice, but its a *CHAT*. The board is not a chat :roll:
