To clarify things right now, I don't expect this channel to be an anything-goes insanity fest like #dragoona was. That's why I didn't name it #dragoona or #norture and instead went with the very generic #evil, even though I welcome everyone and anyone into the channel. I mean, I RP with Moonglow so much I wouldn't mind seeing them in there, or conversely go into a Moonglow channel if there was one.

If I ever need to impose rules on the channel, I will. Considering the only people that really caused rules like that to come into play were myself and Raza, that might not happen.

I did assume that this channel would be the same as the ones in the past, given it was the same people involved. If it is not, I do apologize. In my experience, IRC has always been the "anything goes" type of environment for roleplayers. I would hate for someone to innocently stumble in to something like that and then have a negative outlook on our community just because a few people have a perverse sense of humor.

And Kuja, as for your comment: I don't think joking about murdering infants by putting them in blenders is better than anything. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Have fun.

Admoreth tried keeping #charnelhill at PG13, so not all channels were free-for-all. #dragoona was made as a way to keep #charnelhill clean, actually.

Like I said, I don't foresee this channel will need rules, but if they're necessary then I'll make them.

I find it odd we blame these problems on chat programs rather than people.

As humans we tend to place blame on anything we can, all the while avoiding addressing the problem of ourselves.

Neither ICQ, IRC, forums, Ventrillo, or anything else for that matter are to blame for any issues, just the people, and neither one of these mediums are worse than the other, it's all about the people who use them.

I personally don't use IRC since last time I was in there, it consisted of several older players bashing the RP community and Atlantic community continuously. While I don't know if this is the norm, nor will I make assumptions, it was nothing like the IRC rooms of old, and nothing that I would visit again.

The IRC of old was used much like I've tried to use the forums and how I tried to use the forum chat, as an OOC medium to be used to enhance roleplay. Now that the environment of IRC is simply a chat room, I don't particularly see the need to install yet another program to use it, as Mith stated above, we have plenty of OOC communication mediums now. That's just my personal opinion and personal reasons however.

I suppose I still hold a grudge for being harrassed when I was 12-14, by a bunch of adults. Kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

I do wish you luck with the channel and keeping it clean. I hope you can have positive experiences with it.

And you were right, Kuja. I shouldn't have posted without any prior knowledge of how things were being conducted.

My apologies if I've caused any undue stress.

Not all of them were adults. Most of them don't play anymore. And grudges don't help anyone.

UOAM chat isn't IRC. It actually ends up spamming my journal just like guild chat :/
