    Here sth for the IRC lovers to think of (escpecially the rizon ones)

    "In the late of November, nearing the new year, Rizon underwent a massive attack directed at taking down our network that was loved by many users. People believe it was out of pure jealousy, but that is more than expected from running a network that everyone loved. The attack was so catastrophic, it left our network at a standstill for about 4 months."

    No matter if u are on the PC 24/7 IRCs are damn vurnarable and not really GREAT. I like this forum and don't need a chatter tool. BTW why do u guys not simply create your own irc channel and go there playing babysitter 24/7 for all the sick idiots out there....
    Call it #idiotscare@liketodosenselessstuff.net or whatever....

    IRC is a truly dark place, and frankly an outdated one. I remember the joys of Mirc in the 90s...now looking sadly dated and haunted by ne'er do wells. If you want real time conversation...well...erm...have one with people! Forums are more laid back and less prone to general freakery IMHO :bigsmile:

    backing you up 110% with the no-irc policy.

    I used to admin an irc, and my server got hacked into. IRC is time-consuming, sluggish, and insecure. Pros: none. Its not like people are going to respond to you faster than on a forum. only so many people post every day.

    There is a reason you have personal instant message accounts that are linked to your public profile.

    Just a suggestion

    Hey Hilbert I have been reading and visiting your site for the last several years and what can I say you guys are awesome, but I was wondering why don't you include a BF2 benchmarks in your video card reviews.

    I'm in a small comunity that hosts FPS (Q3A, OpenArena, UrbanTerror, sauerbraten, Q4, teeworlds) servers and got 2 clans and such. We use irc and our site mainly for comunication and so far, its been realy good. Aside from a few spammers, we never had any issues with irc. There are also a few mappers that can spread their new maps using dcc realy quick for testing to people that are actualy there and dont have to wait for something to get tested.

    I love irc and my community and it is my belief that if the comunity is filled with ppl you can trust, bad things dont happen very often.
