IRC channel/chat for mikrotik: Back to life?

RouterOS General

Hello.

I think, it would be nice to have an irc channel or chat for mikrotik. (I know, it’s not the right thing for everyone, but maybe usefull for some people, who are using mikrotik.)

Solutions or remaining problems could go into the forum or wiki. (IRC shouldn’t be a replacement for the forum, but you could just ask a question or discuss something in a different way.)

I found hints to talk.mikrotik.com [1] and #mikrotik on irc.freenode.org [2], but it’s quite empfy there.

Is someone interested to put life back into chat? (Myself, I’d prefer IRC on freenode.)

it’s empty for a reason … it’s not like we took it down.

even when advertised, hardly anyone wanted to use it because suggestions would go away. in forum they stay, and the answers are fast because somebody is always here.

I understand: It’s empty because of “evolution”. (Survival of the most used. The forum survived.)

Never thought that, because talk.mikrotik.com is online.

So, reader in the future: If you find a completely empty talk.mikrotik.com or #mikrotik on freenode for some time: It’s just possible, that it died some days before.
