I have tried (every year for the past ~20 years) to get IRC to work. I never have seen it work, and I am a tech-savvy person. There is always _something_ that prevents IRC from working. For example, I tried that link you provided, I press "Login", and it just spins endlessly, saying "Waiting for irc.openstreetmap.org..." Could it be a corporate firewall issue? Or is the server down? Why is there no timeout? Who knows, it is that user-unfriendly. > might lack some advertisment (and maybe an modern styling). It lacks the ability to let people connect. IRC is a non-starter. -Ben _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
