- Consider for a moment. If you are an IRC newbie (me) and you happen get
- logged into a server for the first time(Undernet), where do you go? Well,
- since i happen to own an amiga, and i dont know where to go i type in
- AMIGA!!!
- Nothing secret about that. Amiga is certainly not a secret word to me, It
- is the obvious choice for clueless users who are just discovering IRC. It
- does not promote good intentions when the first place i successfuly enter
- kicks and bans me for asking a question about an amiga app. DOES THIS
- SOUND LIKE AMIGA USERS WHO ARE TRYING TO KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE? not hardly.
-
- Oh , and about the lists you mention, there are so many channels on
- undernet(5,000+), that i got kicked just asking for it. Because of this, i
- had to guess at what channels were actually there, Hence the Amiga name
- sprang to mind. Too bad it is mostly full of jerks who are not all
- interested in furthering amiga prescence in IRC. in fact, their actions
- seems to discourage interest. IE - Newbies go away! If they are doing
- that, just imagine how many other newbies have given up on the best amiga
- resource that exists , in real time.
-
- But i thank you for the amigacafe name, i will go there, and to hell with
- our namesake channel. Are you sure #amiga is not full of PC ops?
