Greetings,
I am rather new here, though I have been lurking for a while. I
thought it would be interesting to get to know some of the people in
the DIYbio community, and in another group I belong to, we have an IRC
channel. I think it allows discourse in less topic-relevant subjects.
Looking through old posts, I was curious if there were any active IRC
channels associated with DIYbio. My searches on the google group
yielded #diybio on irc.freenode.net. However, this appears to now be
occupied by a small number of transhumanists, where I am looking for a
group more based on citizen science/diybio/amateur biology.
I grabbed the channel #diybio on irc.darkmyst.org, if anyone cares to
join. If there already is an active channel, can you direct me to it?
Thanks!

The problem with IRC is that only a small subset of the user-base uses
it in the first place. And we need the place to be populated most of
the time so it doesn't feel so useless. I use irc once in a while when
I got some question about programming, ubuntu, or those few times I
feel like playing "magic the gathering". The mailing list seems to get
more faster replies.

I'm not sure I went to the right place but the channel you made was
empty. irc.darkmyst.org #diybio

There's about 50/day active on average and a few years of history of not being dead. There's also #biopunk somewhere, but it's mostly inactive like #diybio.
