TL> What IRC channels are used by a large number of Othernet folsk?

I personally hang out on irc.oddnet.net/6667 on channels #bbs and #chat.

There is another BBS-centric network called BBSnet at irc.bbsnet.org/6667
(#bbs ¨there also), but because my personal feelings towards the person who
now owns ¨the network, I stay away from there as much as I can.  I consider
BBSnet to be ¨like FN_SYSOP and FIDONEWS-you know my feelings about that.
:)

There's one more network that isn't BBS-specific that I hang out on
¨occasionally.  It's called Dropnet.  You can get to it via:

irc.teardrop.ca
irc.cfbbs.net
irc.mystica.cx

All at port 6667 and the "main" channel is #dropnet.  Myself and
a few other ¨former sysops hang out there, but it's mostly idle.

I know that Oddnet has a website (http://www.oddnet.net), but I don't know
¨about the other ones.  BBSnet has some of the "big guns" of
BBSing (e.g. Rob ¨Swindell, Maarten Berkers [I think I spelled his name
right], several door ¨authors) on it, but unfortunately, it's battle of the
egos.

I myself generally get on Oddnet for information mining, but all of the IRC
¨networks I mentioned suffer from massive idleness.  They're only active
¨overnight, I've found.

I was trying to find Joe Jared's IRC server because I know you, Carol and
Janis ¨are on there occasionally, but no dice as of late. :)

Later,
Sean
