Hey, I logged on to MIRC tonight... but I don't think I'm doing something right.  I got into the Sennadar channel and GreyMist and Spec were there... but nobody was talking and I couldn't get anyone to talk to me.  Am I missing some key information or does everybody on there just despise me?   :P  I was just trying to find out if anyone could post a good link to chapter 6.

You will find that most of us who tend to be on the irc channel dont talk much until a topic pops up, then its hard to keep them quiet, thus it could be hours before some people actually respond

The best thing is to just minimize mIRC, and wait for some lifesigns. It helps if you have sounds enabled.

Yes. ;)

But seriously...
I've got a 24x7 connection to the 'net. So I dont bother shutting any of my PCs down, thus I stay logged into IRC whilever the PCs are online.

So, it's nothing personal -- but you'll just have to excuse me if you don't get a response to a message sent to me at lunchtime, whilst i'm at work :) (australian eastern daylight savings time -- GMT+11)

Hilarious.  Well I guess I was making contact after all!  I've had my FelFix now anyway... just had to wait till this morning for a good link to the chapter.  

What a hoot.

Ah, it's nice to know the reason why the channel is so quiet. I've gone in a few times but it's just been dead.  I HAD known some of you were in different time zones, but I didn't realize how far off they were.

You'll have to change your DCC settings. I don't know exactly how Fel sends it, but in most cases I believe you would have to change your DCC On-Send settings to auto-get. You can change the settings by clicking DCC on the toolbar then settings and it should be right there.

Thanks for doing all this by the way Lochar. If you ever need help working on the site or anything just message me and I'll help if I can.

Merry Chistmas Everyone,
