If I'm on #altgothic, its usually the evenings. On IRC in general,
randomly throughout the day and definitely the evenings.

No. :< But, I got pretty awps in other channels. Whee! =)

Hrm.. I can be really talkative.. really. ;) But, if curiosity gets
the best of you, feel free to msg me. I am usually quite receptive to
messages.

As a regular on EFnet's #altgothic, I hear some of
the other people who have been there for a while
getting frustrated with the number of people who
have started coming there lately... it's been *really*
crowded, sometime to the levels of #gothic.

It isn't that we don't *want* them, it's that we don't
know who they are! Also, a couple of us are curious
to see whether some of the people who come in
don't read a.g. at all; this might be the case. I don't
really know why someone who didn't read a.g. would
*want* to hang out on the #, but we're not going to
ban them or anything. I also know that some old ng
regulars come to the # when they don't have time to
read the ng but do have time to chat while they're at
work or something.

So I thought it would be a nice thing to do a headcount
poll:
(obviously, if you're reading this, you read the ng ;)

1) Do you chat on EFnet's #altgothic?

2) If so, what handle do you normally use?

3) What time of day do you usually chat there?

4) Do you have ops?

5) Is there anything you would like to add, to help
everyone on the # to get to know you better, esp.
if you're something of a "newbie" there?

My answers:

1) yes
2) Thessaly/ThessAWAY/Ghislaine
3) I pop in sometimes during the afternoon, but generally
I'm there in the late evening and early morning hours.
Sometimes I forget I'm online and fall asleep.
4) yes
5) Idling is nothing personal. I get cranky if you ask me
something I think you shouldn't need help finding the
answer to. I don't like regional political or "planning"
discussions on the # because it should be an international
place and stuff that belongs to one city needs to stay
there: if it belongs on your local mailing list or on the
phone between friends, and probably would get flamed
on a.g., it'll probably get flamed in the # too, tho we tend
to be nicer on the #. I've only ever banned one person,
and those of you following the newsgroup lately know who
that is. I very rarely /kick with any degree of seriousness.
I'm malicious and devious in my use of the "gossip"
command (but I'm as mean to myself with it as I am to
everyone else).

Umm... that's about all! So stand up and be counted, peeps!

Hmm. I am really open minded to a lot of things even though I really do not
always come off that way. I am a really good listener and I love tori's meow
mix song. I am easily thrilled by people making the bot sing specimen,
pitchfork, qntal, and madonna.

It totally depends. I'm never consistant. And I only pop in to say
howdy every now and then.

Nope.

If I leave the channel abruptly, don't be offended. I do that all the
time. Sometimes, i really didn't plan on getting involved in a
conversation, and I got into one. Once there is a lull or something, i
will leave, because I feel it is MY duity to carry on the
conversation, and I've just run out of things to say.

And alot of times, I just like sitting on the sidelines and watching
what's going on. I really don't like being in the forefront of
conversation.

Indeed I do...also in #gothic most of the time too *ducks and runs*

>2) If so, what handle do you normally use?

markus_, cuz some damn bot has markus so I'm stuck with the damn

>3) What time of day do you usually chat there?

pretty much from when I wake up (anytime between 8am to 1pm) to when I go to
sleep (midnight till 6am)...previous statements rendered void on
weekends...I'm hardly ever on then.

>4) Do you have ops?

Yeah, I scammed 'lume into giving them to me ;-)

>5) Is there anything you would like to add, to help

I'm basically an IRC addict, and I get bored when no one talks, and
sometimes I'm not in the mood to initiate conversation, but always feel free
to talk to me. Some people actually think I'm interesting :-) Also, yes, I'm
on #gothic, I have ops in #gothic, and I have friend on #gothic, but I like
to think I'm not as openly hostile as some on that channel can be. I also
like changing the topic a lot and affectionatley kicking people, you'll very
rarely see me ban someone...I leave that to ppl who know what the hell
they're doing ;-) Oh yeah, and I quote song lyrics incessantly...heh, that's
enough babbling for me now...

ciao,

As Thess said, idling is nothing personal. It gets so damned crowded
in there that the screen scrolls too fast and I start twitching ;P.

So I'll pretty much stick to messages while I'm doing other things.

If you think I'm not responding, or you want to talk, just message me.

Carrie, still trying to figure out who nearly half the people on #
are..

they ignore newish people? i'm not new to alt.gothic or IRC, been on both
for more than 2 years - so say hi to me :) i'm nice and very helpful about

My ISP flakes sometimes, and spontaneously boots me.

My typing isn't extremely fast, so the more crowded and more talkative
the place gets, the less I tend to say.

I'm never very silly or flirty; it's a wonder I go there at all.

All day. Being a CS major, I spend approximately 70% of my conscious life
sitting in front of a cathode ray tube. The other 30%, I just talk about
programming. Whenever I'm working, I leave an irc client running and
glance at it occasionally.

I tend to lurk quite a bit, even when I'm actively following the
conversation. I generally will sit in the background for a long time and
then suddenly make a brief appearance to make a snide comment or
something. This is known as "meekay tada". I do this in Usenet as well.
Let's face it, 90% of all human conversation is boring or irrelevant; I
try to catch the good parts.

I'm the one who interrupts all music-related conversation with comments
like "all current goth and industrial music sucks!" and "why don't you
kids listen to some *real* music??? in *my* day, we didn't have 'goth' or
'industrial', we just had 'alternative', and we *liked* it... mumble
grumble...". I also like to taunt Grimm, AppleBoi and that Rat Bastard
guy, and flirt with all the pretty girlies.

1) Yes.
2) Adric
3) No set time, but usually afternoon or nights.
4) No.
5) Yep, just started chatting there. I've tried playing with IRC a couple
of time in the past, but always found it too chaotic and with too little
actual content instead of everyone just hugging everyone else, or being
rude and kick/banning people. So far, #altgothic seems to be better on all
those points...

I'm there. That's about all I can think of. I have 4 years of extensive
IRCing under my skirt...run a bot, a channel, and I frequent two different
nets (EFnet and IRCnet). Uhm...I spend too much time talking to you freaky
people. Really, I do. I am not goth dammit! Oh, and there is gossip about
me on Thrall...remember...it's JUST gossip. Not a skip of it is true! I

here are ways to avoid pissing me off:

1) asking for ops
2) asking stupid questions (ie about mm :P)
3) (unless you're ladyrhye) insulting nyc
4) associating yourself with _him_
5) age / sex checks

Heh heh, I wonder who you could ever be talking about. Actually Thessy did
kick my ass back in November? Which did NY a favor. There were a lot of NYC
people coming in, and I was held responcible (I just have that magnetic
personality). SO she kicked me a bunch of times...and told us to form our own
channel. I still frequent #altgothic and have ops and such. But thank you
Thessaly *hugs* being kicked was one of the best things you could have ever
done. She is good at it too...you should have seen her kick ban *****. <g>

Our local #nycgothic channel has brought a lot of people in our local scene
closer together. We have met some people that do not come out as often and
have gotten closer to the ones we already know..it is easier than talking in a
loud club.

I'm really very new at this... I will admit to knowing absolutely nothing (yes,
I'm reading the help and introduction).

And my sudden disappearing acts in the middle of a conversation would be due
to my computer freezing. It seems to have something against me communicating
with the outside world.

Dante (woah, who'd have guessed), or Narfukit

> >3) What time of day do you usually chat there?

Well, all times of the day and night really. I work with net access, so I can
keep a session in the background, and when I get home, I'm doing extra work, or
uni assignments, or watching TV, and since when my poota boots it connects to
the net automatically costing me the price of a phone call, I may as well use
it :-)

No, I'm not a "regular" per se, but I do like to drop in when I can and am able

I don't like giving my autobiography away for two reasons:
- It makes it possible for other people to know me better than I know them
first :-)
- In a conversation, you "learn" things about the other person, and that is
a much better way of getting to know someone rather than putting all your cards
on the table and saying, "This is me, if you want to talk to me because
something in this description is interesting to you, talk to me." I dunno..
sense of the unknown thing happenin'. We have evolved with a fine sense of
"curiousness". I was "born" with a blatant overuse of quote marks :-)

I dunno. Talk to me, ask me some questions, if you're really
interested. I'm really quite friendly :). I idle a lot, though. I
usually read ag and hang around on IRC at once. I don't do both at
the same time very well, though :).
