Bringing back SMP IRC

[DJAlphaWolf]

So this is a pretty old suggestion that resurfaces every few months by various players. But i felt the need to be the one who brings back the suggestion this time. It's been many, many months since the Tgar plugin (i think thats what it was called) went down and basically stopped our IRC to In-Game connection. I think its about time we consider bringing SMP IRC back. Would be nice for me to spy on the SMP community, and give classic players, who don't own the game but who use IRC, a glimpse into the world of SMP.

As a classic regular, I still advocate for an SMP IRC. For both the SMP community and the Classic community to be on.

Reading through many of the previous SMP IRC threads, it seems that the IRC was at low priority at that time. It probably still is, but I'm actually curious how long it will remain there and if we have any updates on it whatsoever.

So please respond with your opinions and any possible updates on its progress.

I believe optical intends to work on this when he gets the chance.

When I'm supposed to be sleeping, I'm pretty much on IRC instead XD so, with that in mind:

It would definately be nice to have irc back on smp.  Makes my life easier anyway when I want to be in 2 places at once.

meh you just wanna lurk on irc instead of logging on 

on topic:

they planned to re-implement it however like you said,  at the time it was low on the list of priorities

Will you get another IRC plugin working? I like to have the chat logs.

Yes but it is not high up on the list of priorities.

however that was back in march, so maybe there's time for it now perhaps?

*shrug* who knows.... i don't use it so doesn't affect me either way

maybe you could consider researching some potentially good plugins to suggest, i'm sure the admins would be more open to it if you saved them a lot of the time/leg work

IRC for SMP would be really cool I could be on Classic and SMP at the same time without the lag

yeah thats exactly what i was thinking igen, not tiggy's lurker theory lol

[mgfrake]

I am very laggy if I try to play smp so would be good to get it back

I love this suggestion, it would be funny if someone was snitching on a player in-game and the other person sees it on chat haha.
