Move the important IRC channel links to the front page

Postby LASTofS » Thu May 31, 2012 5:00 am

Almost everybody I direct to #aos.help joins #aos first because they think it's some kind of instant customer service chat. However it's not, and I hate seeing a guy spamming, "HELP!!!111 I NEED HELP WITH 'X'" there.

I know tGM has said there is a link in the Help subsection already, obviously it isn't working too well because they've seen the #AoS channel first and think it's the appropriate place to ask for help. Also, administrative team moves the link there, I think you should mention "patience is required" or something along those lines.

What do you guys think? And the opinions of those who join the IRC regularly should be counted first.

Yeah, but usually posting on the forums for help could be a better option :L.

I kinda like this idea. Though, there could be hundreds of IRC channels for people to join.

I did think we could maybe sticky Defaulter's new official IRC thread to the front page, if that could be possible.

People online at aos.help & aos.forums are in #aos anyway.
To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

Sometimes people don't post on the forums for little things. Also, it takes longer for people to reply on the forums.

Nah, that's not the point. His thread has a bunch of unimportant IRC channels, they're not official and we really don't need so many links. I am suggesting that #aos.help be placed alongside with #AoS.

There's no fooling Sherlock here! #AoS isn't a help channel, if I recalled correctly.

I may agree to this, as i only recently found out that pretty much every forum catagory had its own irc(s)

Just like to mention the fact that I've seen at least 5/6 people hopping on #AoS looking for help, but in the wrong place (between the time of my last reply here)
