why arent chat threads allowed

[Blocklandian¹]

Are you asking why topics that serve absolutely no useful purpose and are just for making completely offtopic chats that don't contribute in any good way aren't allowed?

This is ruder blunt way of putting it, but yes, basically.

Define contribute...? Contribute to what, the off-topicness of off-topic? .-.

Really now, is there not a Blockland IRC channel? This is a fairly active forum, so I'd be really surprised if there weren't.

We had one, it was fun for like a week but then it died.

That's really disappointing. But I guess it can't be helped; While this community seems fairly active, it also looks very divided and people seem to rarely leave where they post frequently.

well anyway
im just saying i think itd be fun to have a chat thread where we dont have to be super duper serious or stay on one subject the whole thread

That sounds too likely to develop into a spam thread deserving of the nonexistent "Incoherent Babbling" category.
"Posts lacking intelligence go in here."

>off topic is serious

[Soukuw]

Well I was going to re-register #blockland again on irc.esper.net but it would appear dargerel has gotten to it first.

it's useless. we have RTB

[.::Taboo::.]

I'm sure someone around here has a server they'd be willing to set aside for a tiny little IRC channel...?

it's useless. we have RTB

If my limited experience with that "IRC" is reliable, that channel is more of a clusterforget of server advertisements and irrelevant spam and occasional bits of conversation than an actual chat.

[KoopaScooper]

then don't use esper.net and use some other server
it's not like there are only three good servers

speak for yourself, i cant use rtb
or did you mean the old rtb irc
