Sometimes, admins may have small questions not necessary for the mailing list, want to have a dialogue with other admins real-time, or simply want to discuss various topics they don't feel worthy for the mailing lists. I was thinking to myself earlier today that while it's been mentioned from time to time in other topics that there's a HLDS/SRCDS support channel, there's never been a thread dedicated to it to tell all server admins on both Win and Nix that it exists. Therefore, I'd like to officially declare that there is such a channel!
It's located on *GameSurge at #hlserveradmins *and is run by myself (Atreus) and nephyrin. While it's not currently super active, generally questions people have are answered and will definitely become more popular if more administrators, both those with questions and those with answers, were to join. Take note I'm not "advertising" this in the common sense. Rather, I'm hoping to help -- I personally gain nothing from the channel filling further other than to see it flourish and people have an easier time getting their questions answered. For those who are skimming or using plaintext, and unable to see the bolded info above, it's: *#hlserveradmins @ irc.gamesurge.net*<irc://irc.gamesurge.net/hlserveradmins> Feel free to join and enjoy :) For IRC newbies, here's some recommended clients for... - Windows: *mIRC* or XChat - OSX: *XChat Aqua* or Colloquy - Linux: Haven't used IRC on nix, but I've heard good things about: XChat, BitchX, issri - Firefox Users: ChatZilla My clients of choice are bolded, as I use Windows on my PC and OSX on my MBP Laptop. I'm sure others have recommendations, as can be seen the last time the channel was mentioned. Toodles! -Atreus Note: Offtopic chat is fine when technical issues are not actively being discussed, but being purposely disruptive or rude and disrespectful to others will result in a warning/kick/ban from the channel depending on the severity of the offense. It's hard to get on my or Neph's bad side, but I figured I should mention such. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
