<span class="lnr"> 8 </span>Whereas:
<span class="lnr"> 9 </span>
<span class="lnr">10 </span> * #madlug was cool; and
<span class="lnr">11 </span> * #newlug was also kind of cool; and
<span class="lnr">12 </span> * pretty much everyone who was in #madlug was in #newlug, and
<span class="lnr">13 </span> vice versa; and
<span class="lnr">14 </span> * it's tedious having the same freaking conversations in two
<span class="lnr">15 </span> channels semi-synchronously; and
<span class="lnr">16 </span> * #wilug has existed for a while; and
<span class="lnr">17 </span> * we can force people to go to #wilug; and
<span class="lnr">18 </span> * the value of a good thing is greater than the sum of its
<span class="lnr">19 </span> parts,
<span class="lnr">20 </span>
<span class="lnr">21 </span>I placed a forward (/mode +if #wilug) on #madlug last night. Anyone
<span class="lnr">22 </span>who attempts to join the channel will be automatically forwarded to
<span class="lnr">23 </span>#wilug, the pan-Wisconsin LUG IRC channel. It's basically just
<span class="lnr">24 </span>#madlug, plus a few losers from Up Nort who we tricked into putting
<span class="lnr">25 </span>a forward on _their_ precious channel[0].
<span class="lnr">26 </span>
<span class="lnr">27 </span>Merging the channels means that questions about Linux, or The New
<span class="lnr">28 </span>Nintendo, or webcomics, etc will receive better, faster and more
<span class="lnr">29 </span>witty answers from a widely diverse group of Wisconsonites and
<span class="lnr">30 </span>ex-pats. You'll get fresh perspectives from Sheboygan, Green Bay,
<span class="lnr">31 </span>and Manitowoc on issues relevant to the Madison-area Linux user.
<span class="lnr">32 </span>And, most importantly, you'll find that no matter where you live in
<span class="lnr">33 </span>Wisconsin, stealing a few minutes at 10:00AM on a Tuesday to say hi
<span class="lnr">34 </span>to other people stealing a few minutes at 10:00AM on a Tuesday is
<span class="lnr">35 </span>sort of fun.
<span class="lnr">36 </span>
<span class="lnr">37 </span>Check out the brand new, totally-like-it-used-to-be-but-with-a-few-
<span class="lnr">38 </span>more-people #wilug. It's sort of fun.
<span class="lnr">39 </span>
<span class="lnr">40 </span>To join:
<span class="lnr">41 </span>
<span class="lnr">42 </span> In your favorite IRC client (irssi, ircII, gaim, xchat, ...),
<span class="lnr">43 </span> connect to the freenode.net network:
<span class="lnr">44 </span>
<span class="lnr">45 </span> /connect irc.freenode.net
<span class="lnr">46 </span>
<span class="lnr">47 </span> Then hop on over to #wilug:
<span class="lnr">48 </span>
<span class="lnr">49 </span> /join #wilug
<span class="lnr">50 </span>
<span class="lnr">51 </span>[0] #newlug is now occupied by me, a robot, an ex-pat, and
<span class="lnr">52 </span>soekris_boy. I can hurl all the insults I want, whenever I want, and
<span class="lnr">53 </span>no one can do anything about it. Awesome.
