Link to irc.stardock.com?

from WinCustomize Forums
For some time now Stardock has its own IRC server. Developers and customers can meet there. You can come there for help or just to chat. It would be great if this channel was better known and a link on the front page which tells one how to get there would be great.

You need an IRC client to get connected. The server is called irc.stardock.com and it is using port 6667.

If you don't have an IRC client yet then you can get there from here: https://www.stardock.com/stardock/chat/

The link loads an IRC Java client and brings you to the #Stardock channel.

Have fun

Add things like search functions and topics. I think that would help traffic. You could add a section that never dies called FAQ that would help to stop the same questions from being asked over and over and over..... There are other FAQ's at other places but it is kind of like README's. You can put everything into them and still people don't read them. About the only thing that helps is to have them everywhere.

I know it would be a pain to add these but have you seen a busy forum that doesn't have these features?

Feline: The channel was there for the developers in the first place. You can imagine the horror when the common folks came along. Now there are even admins there who never seen a compiler.

There are about 20 people in #Stardock during the week. About half that number during the weekend.

The #WinCustomize channel has an avarage between 1 and 4 visitors.

The good news is that Transmutate joined and is an op (channel admin) for #WinCustomize. He volunteered to do the job.
