IRC What did I miss | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Hello there! Perhaps some of you recognize me, but im sure most of you don't! Anyway, I've been around the VU irc now and then. Decided to join once again today and I noticed... It's almost empty! What happend? | ||||
Everyone realized IRC was a technology outdated in the early 90s | ||||
In most games that don't facilitate ingame talking, IRC is still the predominant p2p chat. You'll find huge communities on other servers, i.e for starcraft, counterstrike, etc or shitty games like runescape. | ||||
Regarding the 90s comment. In terms of functionality, IRC still provides everything required. Chat, voice chat, webcam interaction, file transfers, private rooms, etc. But it requires effort and intelligence. Something VU sorely lacks. | ||||
I do use irc, all the time, 24/7 in fact :). I have just not been idling in the VU chan that much because I havent played in a long time. However last time I was there, like 6 months ago, the vets from years and years back were still there. And now, there is NO ONE :o. I was shocked. Hopefully a few are still idling around there, and I just chose a bad time to log-on... But somehow I doubt that. Oh well... Edit: One more thing. The VU irc aint really promoted anywhere on the site. If that was to change maybe it would help, somewhat :). There is a chat button, but for those of us who'd like to use a stand-alone client there aint any clearly visable instructions on what network it is, nor what chan. | ||||
Skype is bettar! | ||||
Erh. Using skype instead of irc? Yea right :p | ||||
Well ZeTa did used to promote the VU channel on here. But because he had no control over it, he wasn't happy.And so he removed the link and made his own shoddy replica of it. lol. | ||||
"Skype is the choice of 16 year olds prepubecents (and I can
understand why, if you gave a little kid a choice between the two). Lonely peoples still go with IRC." | ||||
More people on VU use Skype than IRC* | ||||
Good thing most people hit puberty at 13 or 14... because if they didn't your statement would be very valid Petite. | ||||
And besides.. this is a strategy game. How freaking nerdy can you get by needing to voice chat over it like it's some tense first person shooter or something like that? Lol. | ||||
| ||||
I can tell IRC isn't suited for you Vuggy by your previous forum posts. | ||||
I disagree. It's not stupidity that compels me, but ignorance. | ||||
No no, you're stupid. One of the new breed of VU'ers. Scrub-nubs who feel compelled to share their inane opinions. | ||||
How is that relevant to my skills? And this IS an INTERNET page. So it gives me a right to be whatever I feel like.. an E-thug at times, annoying most of the other times, and times like now where I just say something that sounds smart so you'll shut up.. which really never works.. (reason I do it. I love starting flamers up) | ||||
Vuggy your not ignorant. Your an annoying bastard remember. :P | ||||
Oh man I forgot... xD | ||||
lol Skype for the win! Someone should create a VU room in Skype. | ||||
There are plenty of them.. you're just not invited. xD | ||||
I prefer skype, Irc works fine but Skype just works better so why act like a moron and say Irc is better? you might like it more but thats it... and about all vet's just using Irc... thats the biggest BS i have ever heard... | ||||
I feel small. | ||||
... | ||||
and bashing an old VU player at that LOL | ||||
Old VU players are roxbury, elsin, swifty, ez, etc. Players who have been around since the 2001-2004 mark. | ||||
Ah so sweet. You have no idea how long he has been playing actually. | ||||
You scrubs are laughable. You think anything around 2007~ constitutes an old player. | ||||
I've tried the VU Chat, irc, MSN messenger, and Skype all to no avail. Communication is pretty poor IMO. A few eras ago there was decent (8-10) amounts in VU chat but not anymore.
Maybe I should get in a bigger KD? | ||||
Christ this is my 10th era, and the last time I saw my 13th birthday was years ago. And could you stop using scrub nub.. I don't scrub anything except the floor of you after I kick your ass on the battlefield. And you gotta admit.. that was a pretty clever insult. I thought so. ^^ | ||||
Lol Petite... | ||||
pls get off my game guys. anybody who didn't play before 2004 isn't allowed to post any longer. | ||||
lawl... just did :-) | ||||
Wait... >< is this revengenoob? Omg please no! Fuck off you unholy demon! | ||||
Skype is the new IRC!! | ||||
Don't be so insulting Arthur Bent. I wouldn't wish Rev upon anybody | ||||
Oh, then you're a wannabe? Good *phew* | ||||
Ice Prince is the new village idiot!! | ||||
I actually do you a diservice, Bent. I think I remember you now. Aren't you one of the BoW scrubs? The KD that LGC (most kds did, infact) raped era, after era? | ||||
You sure like nubs that scrub things... | ||||

Petite Penois: | ||||
"you're a disgrace to flamers everywhere" "You a funny man" "go crawl in your hole" "you're a loser" "you might wanna consider getting a life" w2g with the cliché "insults" of the 14 year old keyboard warrior, Flame Boi. Funny how it's the people that never fail to be online at the turn of the hour, every hour, that shout "no life" on forums. | ||||
Hai guize, nice sirius discushun heer! | ||||
Lol Admirable | ||||
What arthur says goes! End of discussion. | ||||
Yeah I think we've kind-of gone off topic :/ | ||||
Ah Ceiling Cat has been at the liquid pleasure :P | ||||
Wow...after reading all of this, I'm reminded of the M*A*S*H episodes with Winchester, Hawkeye, and Hunnycut lol... | ||||
You know, this is the first time I see skype actually even compared with IRC. VU never cease to amaze me! Also, I played this game during beta, so I must be a real pro. Roxbury would vouch for me!1!! Or he'd kill me. I'm not sure. | ||||
Skype is more comparable with Vent/TS, than IRC. | ||||
