You say that as if it's a bad thing! 
That channel is rubbish. No-one talks or answers questions or nothing.
Why don't we just create a console specific one called #ocuk-consoles ?

yeah why not actually, is it that hard to do ?, I know nothing about IRC, I browse the channels using a java applet.
It must be easy loads of kids have IRC channels so it can't be hard! We just have to register it on Quakenet etc or just do it the easy way and someone always stays in there I think. Not really used it much for years but dug it out yesterday as a group of us were on IRC waiting for the MGO Beta.

In order to create a channel you simply join it, if it doesn't already exist it'll be created and you'll be given 'op' status.
In order to register the channel (make it a permanent thing) you need at least one person authed with Q (quite easy to do) and 4 other unique users in the room. When you have those things you use the quakenet website to request a Q bot and if you can maintain the prerequisites (5 unique users logged in at any one time) for around 15 mins you get a Q.

Yeah just read this on www.quakenet.org and the channel is empty at the moment. Someone will have to take charge and register it etc (not me!).

I idle in IRC pretty much every day so i've joined the room, if enough people show interest i'm sure we can sort out a Q, doesn't take long and we can just give loads of people admin rights - they're generally only there to avoid room takeovers anyway.

tbh I expected a channel with experts on the various fields covered by these forums, which it never has been on my numerous visits. It's partly my fault for having the wrong expectations of what the channel is about.
One specific to Consoles would more suit my current interests.

maybe we should make one? Get 5 of us organised for a Q bot..
I would be interested in setting up a channel, i have just installed mIRC, im in the channel quoted in the link, but dont recognise anyone. Is this the correct Ocuk channel "/j #overclockers-uk"?
