We need to get a hold of ravensgrace (i believe) over the IRC #lonelygirl15 chat so we can set it up so we can show them we are ready to make it official

you know.... freenode isn't the only irc network. there are hundreds, maybe thousands of others. if you can't gain control of the room, why not just use another irc network? dalnet is one. they also have a web-based java client.

aren't most of our chat rooms based on freenode?
Wouldn't it be more logical to keep it on one network?

it would be more logical to keep it on freenode. however, if you can't get control of the room, there's always the option of using another network. it's easy enough to connect to different servers with the same client and to those who are new to IRC it wouldn't make a difference at all. but hopefully the c's will listen to our pleas to take the chat over to irc and ravensgrace will show up and hand over the room so we can keep it on freenode.

Code: Select all

 -ChanServ-      Channel: #lonelygirl15
 -ChanServ-      Contact: ravensgrace, last seen: 11 weeks 2 days (14h 33m 29s) ago
 -ChanServ-   Registered: 33 weeks 6 days (12h 36m 22s) ago

Our chances to get a hold of that guy might be slim.

And DALnet doesn't exactly have a "smrt" reputation...

So I decided to go and ask the experts on how we can take over the channel:

Killthesmiley> An official web site is currently looking into usin IRC for their chatroom instead of their flash program. However the channel name is already taken by a former fan, and all the Operators have disbanned and have stopped returning to the chat room. We are in desperate need to take ove rthis IRC channel though. Is there anyway to make operators without the original op's, or are we completely stuck?

Njan>Killthesmiley, if you've got a claim of some sort to the name, you can file a Group Contact Form and gain control of the channel that way.

[16:58] <njan> Killthesmiley, You'll need to talk to a staffer either way, though, and freenode has a 60-day-idle-period for channels too, it's just enforced in a strange way.
[16:58] <njan> http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#gettinghelp

So what it comes down to is either the Creators file this form for us, OR we abandon those chat rooms (#lonelygirl15 and #lg15) for 60 days

OPEN LETTER TO GREG:
Even if you guys don't like the IRC idea, can you please still file this form with them? We do need to get operators in the chat and there is no realistic way possible without this.
