Purlox September 26, 2012 Share September 26, 2012 To encourage activity and to increase the speed threads get responded to, we could make an IRC bot that announces when a new thread is created and in what board it was created with a link to the thread.

Kadoh September 26, 2012 Share September 26, 2012 Isn't this kind of useless, since when you get into the IRC you can't see anything said before you enter, and the thread twitter feed or whatever is on the side of the page anyway.

Purlox September 26, 2012 Author Share September 26, 2012 Kadoh: It's supposed make people currently in the channel contribute to the thread, so it gets responses faster, it's not supposed to be some bot that makes you know of every new thread made unlike the bot on twitter.

Kadoh September 26, 2012 Share September 26, 2012 I suppose it's a good idea then, considering the forums can be a little slow at times, with no one posting My opinions are all subject to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB2 September 26, 2012 Share September 26, 2012 Fantastic idea, do it. The above post does not contain facts. q2's the host, QB's the tulpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purlox September 26, 2012 Author Share September 26, 2012 Also I should add that we might not want to include Off topic threads and progress reports, because those don't need fast responses, those threads usually don't contribute much and would just unnecessarily flood the channel making people ignore the bot, when we get more people making those threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous September 26, 2012 Share September 26, 2012 Agreed. I nominate this idea for the next update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intelhunter September 26, 2012 Share September 26, 2012 I have a feeling that this will sometimes kill the IRC, as people will stop chatting and start reading wall of text's. But thats just me. Ayo grill how you be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous September 26, 2012 Share September 26, 2012 Not everyone will be that committed to replying to a new thread, intelhunter. Besides, as long as off-topic and progress reports are excluded, I wouldn't expect too many walls of text appearing that often. Anyways, I think this is an excellent idea.

JayAli September 27, 2012 Share September 27, 2012 I think getting that logger daemon that Pleeb mentioned implemented would be a more productive step, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
