This is actually quite a good example of the general attitude of the place.
Haha! I actually have to admit that I missed that line. But it doesn't matter. It's not that I dislike the people that run it (though it's obvious that they dislike me). I don't think about them in any way, shape, or form. They mean absolutely nothing to me. :)
That said, there is a reason that this chat room is "UNofficial". Please keep in mind that many of the people that go there have been banned from DD for anti-community behavior. But I can guarantee you that NONE of the people that run the current one will be welcome to run one that ever became official. ;)

Well huh. Did it start off as a nice sweet chat about the webcomics here and evolve into something else over time? I've seen that trend in forums, they start off goodnatured and fun then after a few bad eggs run amok over the normal posters the forum admin gets tired of it and lets things fall apart.
Ah well one good thing about DD irc is the members make some really good graphs. :)
I'd like to ask who it is that frequents #drunkduck that was banned for anti-community behaviour.
Keep in mind that APC has left #drunkduck. For a quick reference please see the ASCII graph below.

First Appearance of APC....................Present Day
.................APC's Presence in #drunkduck
Do I count? I had a mod named 4chan, and "Anti-community behavior" was my middle name. Why, back then, I would walk around TD and tell everybody what big fags they were. We were a randy bunch, with Midge and Shplane and Zero and Kitty and Lefrace and Mishi and NLTC and… and…
OH GOD! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE, TD? WHY!? WHYYYYYYY!!?
I hear the IRC channel has changed recently. It's apparently nice now ^_^ I dunno though, since these day I haven't got time to cra… well, I'm just too busy. -_-
I went in recently, but they wouldn't even let me have my own name. So I stayed in the chat for a while as "Chewbacca", but nobody ever said anything.
That's something called NickServ, which is part of most IRC networks. Someone already has Hawk as a registered nickname, so that wasn't anything to do with the #drunkduck channel or its admin.
I've been an IRCop, admin and Op across numerous IRC channels over the years. Right back when Quakenet had chan services and didn't have Q bots, etc. I'll tell you one thing from looking at this thread, the Top Drawer level of so-called humour I've seen displayed here would get you banned on any number of those channels.
I'm actually less impressed with the replies here by users and (some) admin, than I am with the #drunkduck channel at the moment. I'm willing to give the forum a chance however, even people like Sea Cow.
I have never had to kick/ban anyone in IRC just for the fun of it, that's something I have never agreed with. So now it seems I've inherited an Op position at the Unoffical DD channel, yet apparently according to SpaNG who hasn't even spoken to me, I'm already tarred with the same brush?
I invite anyone who actually wants to come and chat, to actually come and chat to me in the channel like AuroraMoon did yesterday. That's chat, not come to cause trouble because if you bring 4chan or TD humour into the chat, then once my level of patience wears thin I'll do what the admin did here to ApC (which he deserved) and ban.
I also invite a civil reply to this post and not an animated gif reply or a chart.
I'll also note that the first thing that ApC ever did to me when I entered the channel, back in January of this year was to kick me for excessive idling (when I'd gone afk to get a drink), so I am not defending him. I will however say that ApC has not returned to the channel since he was de-opped.
So I take it, this is the kind of thing that Drunk Duck's admin and community actively supports?

It seems that regardless of what currently goes on in the chat, due to what's gone on in the past and perhaps word of mouth from that, there's a bad image that needs to be overcome. I don't think anyone is making personal attacks here, but there are people posting in this thread who have said they've had negative experiences.
Also, do I really have to try to figure out a chat log if I want to get your point? Could you just… summarize? Looks like a lot of stupidity and offensiveness to me, like the Top Drawer in chat form. Why would we support it?
Thanks skoolmunkee, that's the kind of reply I was looking for. In short, some DD'ers decided to enter the channel and spend their time constructively spamming it, TD in chat form is a perfect example.
It's also nice to know that this kind of behaviour isn't supported by DD's admin. I do agree that what's gone on before left a bad taste in some people's mouths, but should the new admin there be made to pay for those mistakes and should they be tarred with the same brush?
No one was banned for the recent actions in the channel, but it doesn't really give me confidence in certain DD'forum users who abused the channel's chat-applet. Now had ApC been there, there'd be a lot of kick-bans…and I have to admit, with good reason.
I'm sure what was posted later on was a violation of Sorcery's AUP.
Maybe it would be good to get a summary of what kinds of things are welcome there, and what activities or types of chat might go on? Could someone show up if they wanted some comments on their comics, or a critique of something they've drawn? It's pretty difficult to get those here on the forums. Is there an art challenge night or any activities like that?
I'd be happy to post a news announcement to draw attention to the chat. I'd like to be able to talk about what's in it for folks besides the opportunity to chat with other DDers though. Also some people have no idea what IRC is, how to connect to it, etc, so some info about that would be welcome :)
Since I've recently taken over as one of the IRC @ (ops/mods) I'd only be too happy to liase. I'd like to see more comic discussion and definitely less of the stuff I posted in the log, which is only part by the way, the rest I didn't bother to post because it gets worse.
Critiques on something they've drawn, advice, ideas and general discussion are more than welcome. As long as the person being critiqued doesn't take it badly and the critic doesn't phrase their crit as: this comic sucks, learn to draw ;)
I like the idea of those other activities too, the art challenges etc. I'm a big proponent of community things like that.
I'll see what I can create regarding a user's guide (beginners) for IRC and post a copy of the AUP for Sorcery.net. Rude, anti-social behaviour is right out…but I can't hope that everyone would get that message (today proves just that) since there are folks out there that live to be like 4Chan.
The idea has truly become the insitution, what was once edgy and daring, has now become big and emulated. But that's my rant, and I'll not go on. People are more than welcome to have a laugh and chat. I'd like to see the bad name of the room become a thing of the past.
We also tend to talk about print comics, TV shows, movies, anime, and games/console games in there, so there's a lot to talk about.

Holy shit it seriously is TD x10. At least TD was funny at times. (excluding zero and nltc because they never posted one single chuckleworthy thing in my entire being there, and were bigger drama queens than even I, queen of drama)
