Well, idling/lurking is what mostly happening on IRC. Although the internet is global, and there's bound to be someone awake, online and watching your lines at any given moment, there's no obligation to reply. You'll learn the ways of lurkin' *smirk* (Oh well, for most people IRC is a thing of the past, since DDL sites and BT have become a more common and convenient way of obtaining releases.) Furthermore, at the time of your visit to #a.f.k. it was 7am EST (1pm your local time); most Americans were still asleep. This alone decreased your chances of bumping into active discussion partners. The people you might have encountered on IRC at that time were most likely originating from Asia / Oceania and Europe. Quote:

2. The lack of a.f.k's webpage doesn't make them of a lesser standard. I just like reading up on the people and how they are like. Kiss-sub very friendly people. TRIAD Very strange cynical people. 3. It's possible to get the lucky star eps through mirc? hmm well so far torrents have been my friend and i think they continue to be still. (But i will check the link below out. Thank you. 4. i heard some guy talking on mirc about rss gonna do some research in that. 5. i did expect more people to talk on mirc as the reason i installed mirc was i read that people where spinning circles there in anticipation of the next ep. Maybe they do, but they just don't type about it.

Watching this episode made me realize that I'm not as Otaku-ish as I thought... I had to google/wiki some of the stuffs you guys are talking about @.@
(Although as a diehard One Piece fan I did pick up a Nico Robin cosplayer in the "Tsukasa asking for direction" scene, which many prolly would miss but made me happy) Good episode nonetheless, lots of Kagamin goodness = I'm sold. Although the biggest laugh I got comes from Akira's "appearance" |

Well i got banned on the a.f.k. irc channel
Things i learned about Mirc today. It isn't Mirc it's IRC and some people hate people who call it mirc. Around 200 people sit their in the chatroom mostly idling. They idle in anticipation of an anouncement. Or just to show their respect to the subbing group. One of the operators is named kanna, i saw this name also on the triad forums. Maybe he works in both groups. You should never PM one of the ops. I did cos i thought it would be a nice way to part. But i found out some people can get kicked and get back. And some people just get banned Oh and if you type !list you get lots of friekie stuff. Lucky star 12 had some Raw problems. They wanted some specific raws and they weren't out yet or sth oh yeah this one guy death13 he liked abreviations a lot. like stfu. and g.t.f.o Great teacher for onizuka probably

[16:02:55] * Xeperu (~xeep@cc983728-a.deven1.ov.home.nl) has joined #a.f.k.
[16:03:03] <Xeperu> Evening [16:03:45] <Xeperu> I am here as a representative of #animenfo to ask when Lucky Star 12 will be done. [16:04:04] <@bayoab> delayed till friday now I'm not sure if he was completely serious or just saying so to get the "press" off a.f.k.'s backs. But the fact that Anime Expo is this weekend probably has an effect. < /or so I've heard > |

It shouldn't be permanent though so you might as well try again. Overall though I would just wait for the torrent as you won't have to wait in a queue and deal with kicks, bans and commands. |

OK, Kaioshin, you definitely frequented the wrong channels.
My advice would be to idle for a bit and read the conversations that go on in there till you've got an idea of how things are done. Don't neglect to read the topic for rules. Also, for more IRC practice, find the channel of a webcomic, if you're into those. A small one (less than 20 users). Those are pretty friendly. edit: Oh, yeah, and do not assume that people like being PMed by strangers. They generally don't. Last edited by Anh_Minh; 2007-06-27 at 17:24. |

Yes. I would have to agree with Anh_Minh. I've been using IRC for a while now and I've not had many problems. If you read the topics, rules etc... you should be fine. All the channels I'm an op in I very rarely ban people and I usually try to help where possible. I've also received help from people in my time in getting accustomed to it. A lot of the channels I'm usually in are quite lenient but as ever people do differ and you are right in saying that you can sometimes get banned for looking at someone in the wrong way as it were. Personally I avoid those types of channels and fortunately for me those experiences have been few and far between.

To Outcast_Within, this is probably why you got the ban, it seems extreme and it probably is, but it's also one of the things that are usually listed in the rules. |

There are like, five or ten questions you never ask in most IRC channels (because they've heard them 100000 times and are sick to death of it). Do some googling and wiki on IRC etiquette before entering and you'll be more successful. Also remember that IRC chan are like tribes: each one has its own set of taboos which if violated means they feast on your bits.
That IRC snippet is interesting.... I'm getting this odd feeling that AnimeExpo may spurt out some licensing agreements that leaves sub watchers moaning and rending their garments.

Rule of thumb:
1. Lurk long enough to get the list (!list) of bots that host the packet 2. Request that packet you want 3. Get your file and get out of there soon as it's done 4. Don't pester the chanops or annoy the subbers with requests of when the next episode is done. They're fans and they do have a life outside fansubbing. That way, you don't stay long enough to get booted or worse still banned. If you want to be friendly, there are non-xdcc chans where fans gather to chat about anime in general. |

The philosophy under the hood is probably that if you can grasp the meaning of IRC and get as far as entering a channel, you are expected to self-help and research your way to get what you want instead of blatantly asking. After all, the regular users got there on their own and so should you.
In addition, the upper echelons of a channel tend to think the place as they own little private discussion room, sort of an inner membership that no one else has. Most of them probably aren't too happy to have the channel flooded with people they don't know talking about things outside their interests. IRC is pretty close to real life conversation if you think about it. Imagine a channel as this little circle of friends talking to each other, sometimes while serving other people. They probably get irritated if their customers get too noisy, or if a complete stranger just walks in to them and interrupts their conversation with an irrelevant subject. You probably should stand there and listen to them for a while before actually saying something. |
