hehe, its funny because its not.
Its just that the trolls haven't found it yet. But there are no ops or anything to keep it noob friendly in case of emergency.

History lesson: #coffeesh0p was the former channel of www.coffeesh0p.com a site created by a member of this community some 5 years or so ago. I idle in there because.. I like to sometimes idle in empty legacy channels for way way too long.
Now its being taken over by friendly people. I approve of this.

what's up with the whole idling-on-irc thing? i noticed that there's even a game built around it...what gives?

It's just kinda dumb. If you idle, you can join the channel and be known as the biggest idler. No big deal.

Hopefully we can get an OP in there soon to enforce the troll-free zone.

I don't like to miss an opportunity for a social experiment on irc. If it turns out to be needed then I'll register or let someone else register and set some ops.
But in my opinion, some of the best channels don't even need ops, even if ops exist almost no one knows who they are and it only gets used in case of emergency every few years or so. Maintaining a pleasant environment is more up to the users than to those that need to punish offenders.


Want to kill a troll? Shower it with kindness. 60% of the time it works every time.

weekend, mmmmmmmmm....
