Oh look! I've reappeared! by WhiteRaven93 on 2011-06-20 06:57:00 UTC Reply

Wow, life really got in the way. I joined way back in April. I wasn't on the IRC much (just once, and from what I've skimmed just now on the Board, it's not a pleasant place to be right now), and before I could really become integrated on the Board, real life dragged me away to the point where I couldn't even check the site anymore. T.T Anyway, it's summer vacation now, so I'm hoping to be a little more active. I'm fairly certain no one remembers me, so I thought I'd make a little "welcome back, here I am" post. ^_^'

Just one question: What's going on with the IRC? Fights? Just on the Board, I usually got a feeling of unity and carefree joviality (with the occasional dispute). So what's happened? :(

Welcome back. You may still have some from last time, but here, have some special collectors edition 'welcome back' sporks.

I'm remembered! I feel a bit better now. :D

We talked about Pern RPs, as I recall. {= D

The IRC is a long story, but I believe essentially what happened was a lot of uncertainty and inconsistency about the rules in there, leading to arguments and hurt feelings and eventually the second room, which just brought everybody's frustrations to a head. We're discussing how to make it better going forward so we can have that same happy atmosphere in there.

Anyway, welcome back!

Oh yes. I remember that. ^_^ That was fun.

I see. :/ Well, that's unfortunate. It's a shame people can't just relax and have fun without getting into silly arguments. I've seen that happen a lot; it's never fun. I hope it all gets worked out soon.

Hi, have some welcome-back fudge!

I have an IRC client, but I've never visited the PPC channel so I can't help you with that question.

Sounds a bit like me - RL took over my ability to do anything with the PPC for a while.

I have no idea, since I've never even tried to get on the IRC.
