Hey, guys!
if you haven't already noticed, excitingly, our #atarnotes Chat button is back!
It may be a 90s throwback, but it's just a generally great place to
procrastinate hang out with a bunch of like-minded
misfits friends. IRC makes casual chats, cheeky banter and closer friendships with AN regulars really easy (including some of the mods, because there's generally one or two of us lurking in the background
). Sick of chatting to someone over PM but don't want to give personal deets? Set up a time to hop on IRC and start a PM conversation with them there. And... life is stressful, so remember we're also always up for a chat if you just need someone to vent to. =]
Just remember that we're busy and don't check IRC much, so you'll probably have to start the conversation by greeting us individually by our IRC handle, and wait a bit. You're all super welcome, no matter how much you've participated on AN and no matter your grad year.
You can go through
this link, but if you're intending to use chat often, you'll find it easier if you install
HexChat and connect to Freenode and #atarnotes through that. Also check out
these basic IRC commands.
So come join in - look forward to seeing you there and getting to know you better!
