<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Um, no, it may easily mean that there's a firewall that isn't under their control blocking a needed port. Or that they're accessing S-C.net using a public computer that doesn't have IRC software installed. Or . . . Well, you get the idea. It really, really annoys me when people assume that the only reason someone isn't using IRC is that they can't figure out how--there are *VALID* *TECHNICAL* reasons why it might be impossible for someone.Originally posted by Reikou Hitakana:
And if ppl can't use IRC, that just means they didn't try hard enough to figure it out. I'm always willing to help ppl to learn.
(And no, I'm not going to discuss why I don't use IRC myself--suffice to say that, given that I could *write* an IRC client if I wanted to, it doesn't have anything to do with not being able to figure out the software.)
(All that being said, Crisis et al. have a right to release things in any bloody way they please. They're the ones doing the work.)
Yow. That is bad. I remember my high school technically had the same rules. We just ignored them and they never actually enforced them. Probably because those of us who did it knew way the hell more about the computers than those who were supposedly supposed to enforce the rules [img]tongue.gif[/img] As for the 33.6 issue....I used to download anime on my 33.6 and that wasn't pretty, so believe me, I understand.

Hello! I'm a very new member, and the only reason I signed up at this time (I had been wanting to for some while) was because I wanted to figure out how to use IRC. So many manga sites have switched to using IRC only, and when I saw that S-C.net was also getting in on it I knew I had to learn. When I tried to download Mirc though it kept giving me some sort of error. Would it be okay to use some other client and still be able to get to your server?? Is it even a server I'm trying to get to?
Anyway, I'm sure it would help a great many user if you did help us a little to understand IRC (I know its not your job and there are sites explaining it, but to me (and others I'm sure) it's written in some wierd computer language!)
Thank you so much for all your hard work! I really admire people like you.

Somehow, for some reason, I first read your nick as Grey ASHtray and my brain keeps trying to revert to that... I'm sorry! Poke me if I type that by accident sometime, just warning you in advance that my mental wiring sometimes does weird connections like that and doesn't want to let go. (I also tend to swap the words purple and green sometimes; don't know why... but I'm fine with directions so you don't have to worry if I'm driving you somewhere, in the somewhat profoundly unlikely event that might ever happen... ^^;;; [img]wink.gif[/img]
Hmmm...that would completely change the meaning, but I can see how it could happen! Grey Ashtray sounds like a K.D. Lang song...
