What is Happening to the Community?

[Project64mugen]

I've been noticing that the IRC chat has been getting very dead lately. What's happening? No one is barely joining anymore..

Well, I'm at school most of the time when you guys are on, and I never see you on the weekends.

For me, IRC is not practical. It takes more time. And I'm no good with multi-tasking so, building and talking Rigidchips at the same time is out of the question unfortunately.
I've got a fulltime job, a girlfriend and build real model boats and airplanes.
Looking at all the new stuff here takes only one minute.

[JHaskly]

Fully understandable.

Rarely online, I'm mainly out at my job. I get 2 weekends off a month. Recently busness is quiet so boss is letting me off once and a while, which he says he likes. "I became way to busy for the men we have available..." I nearly laughed, we've been getting new talent, and I'm back to school in Septmeber. I go on IRC randomly. Though when I see no one on, I just sign off. Sorry!

[JHaskly]

Nothing wrong with being busy

[T-Bouw]

No apologies needed.
As long as the love for it is still there right?

Even when I'm at work I think about Rigidchips and sometimes design or ponder for/on something RC. There's notes with computations everywhere...

[Timothy Ashtön]

Well said T-Bouw. Couldn't agree more.

I used to idle alot, but then almost no one ever came on, so I stopped even keeping xchat open lol.

[Chris220]

Well, I idle in at least 3 development channels, as well as a load of others.
So I'm generally on, just don't talk much (usually have it minimised when I'm programming or playing GMod)

[lolrigid]

I'm usually online to see some of my topics but if noones online I go to another website (ex: YouTube)

[Timothy Ashtön]

Not to be a party pooped but bringing topics back from august 2010 isn't a good thing to do. Just start another one, there's no harm in that.
