I'd like to go on a chat channel and talk to some folc's. Where and when should I go?

thanks,
Nancy

Hey Nancy!

If you go here , You can find the link to get the password for IRC channel #loisclark, where a lot of folcs from the boards hang out.

Hope to see you there!

EDIT: Oh...and as for the time? Hard to tell...just have to pop in and figure it out I guess. Unless someone around your neck of the woods...or time zone could tell you when the peak times are.

For some more information, you can look here . A lot of information about the channel and mIRC is there.

About the hour, Nancy... if I calculated it correctly, the most popular time for the FoLCs who hang out in #loisclark is at about 1 p.m. your time.

See ya!

From roughly 8pm onwards, UK time, you should find someone in there to chat with, Nancy. There used to be a small group who hung out fairly regularly between four and six pm, but I haven't had the chance to visit at that time for a while, so they might not be around any more.

No idea how that translates to Canadian time though.

Speaking as someone in the Eastern time zone of North America... Afternoons are generally the busiest times, because that's when we can get both Europeans (evenings for them) and Americans/Canadians who either haven't got 9-5 jobs, or who IRC from work (hi, Roger! ). We've been thinking of working to encourage a later evening chat, too, but haven't actually done anything about it yet. If we do, we'll probably announce it on the boards somewhere.

I've actually noticed more and more people staying on after 8pm. So there's usually a few people around until about 9-10pm EST. There's usually a few people on in the early EST afternoon, also.

I'm reminded of a line from a movie I actually hate... "If you build it, they will come."

If you hang around, and one or two other people look in, they'll stay... and they'll come again next time... and they'll mention to others that there might be people around... I've been in myself in the evenings US time and am now starting to find several people around after the Europeans are deep in slumber. Long may it continue!

I just found the channel myself! It's *great* entertainment (read: OMG you all are NUTS, I love it!). What a welcoming bunch of folks everyone is, and of course it's great meeting the personalities behind the posted stories
