EDIT: bla bla bla, #xda-devs on freenode!
we have a channel
#xda-devs on freenode
cya there!
Does this still work?
All your posts got deleted for being off-topic. SOPA!
Well I expect more activity in the channel than just idling there :\
So there are no hot babes in the channel? Bummer...
Yeah, it's a zombie channel.
Have people moved onto a different channel? I've been here now for the past month idling, and looking at it once in a while, it's unmoderated, and it's mostly used by two users named cerjam and taylee being immature and generally talk about sex-related random ...things. But it sure is populated by idlers.

It's not an official channel and is nothing to do with XDA. Unfortunately there are a lot of immature idiots on the internet these days though.

Ye, but an unmoderated channel doesn't help either as it seems. I don't really care for what protocol people use, but a live chatbox to talk about stuff seems helpful though. But indeed, channels die very quickly. Only channel alive I'm subscribed to is <...>
it's moderated just fine. I've been there for four years. You've been there... ... a month? can't say i've seen you.
So now that XDA has officially taken over XDA-Devs of freenode. When are we getting a webbased chat/link?

If xda-devs account on irc.freenode.net is official then someone should ensure the account is not used to add previously unregistered nicknames to that account for the sole purpose of trolling people on that IRC channel.
It would reflect negatively on the xda-devs if this was the norm and not the exception.
don't come into our channel and tell us what to do. all ive got to say.
Someone has banned *!*@* (non-IRC people, that string means "Ban everyone") and essentially taken over the channel.
What the hell just happened?
for those unfamiliar with the situation:
#xda-devs has been an established freenode channel since 2007, owned and operated by Olipro a well known and one of the most respected windows mobile developers.
I've been a user in the channel for over 3 years now, recently the staff of xda-developers convinced freenode that they are the rightful owners of the channel, who then removed olipro, and was appointed the channel.
We were informed that it was now an official channel, and they were going to run it as how they see fit.
Within the first 24 hours, one regular of 3+ years was banned.
Within the first 7 days, a global ban on the optonline network was established, along with a major japanese network, banning every user on those significant networks from the channel. I know of three people this affected personally, let alone all the users who were unable to join to complain.
Tonight, it appears someone using the alias Flar, which has been an operator in that channel since earlier this week, took control and banned every user.
Now, as many people who have visted the IRC over the years knows, i can be very mouthy and pretty much useless. However, I have been in that channel for 3+ years on a daily basis, and am good friends with more than a few users, I have to say the way this all went down is a complete wreck. Sure, I understand xda staffs arguement. They're entitled to a channel, and as freenode policy states, that is what # is for. However, HOWEVER. There is a very big userbase of this channel, spanning back years. To hijack it with absolutely no regard of the existing people, with people who've never even been in the channel and as what happened tonight shows, inexperienced IRCers, is very out of pocket.
We've created ##xda-devs for stability, and off topic discussion. I'd like to see an end to this drama and e-peen contest as much as the next person, I urge the XDA staff to join us and come to terms.
A word from the staff would be helpful about now.
Well, at least you get points for misrepresenting what happened and being part of the drama you claim to not wanting to be a part of. Not as a moderator, but one person to another, and one I had previously thought to be on friendly terms with, ... what the ****, cerjam.

Same goes for both your posts.
(Why use #gn = because most ppl there will have the Galaxy Nexus and are reading in it's forums.)
My first post is a legitimate question as to why use this specific channel (with the likely small amount of people to respond) while there is global #xda-devs channel (where a fair share of the people actually do have the Galaxy Nexus).
Furthermore, if you think answering a question with "guess" has any place here on XDA-Developers, you might want to reconsider being here.
Thread unpinned.

more people should join the channel. Galaxy Nexus owners unite!
Why would #GN be better than xda-devs?.. Let me illustrate.
topic for xda-devs: Note: This is #xda-devs, the operative word being DEV. not "I'm a spastic who can't even flash a ROM"
..
where as GN is for anything and everything... so if I am a user looking for help, the folks in xda-dev's are not helpful.. If i'm looking for specifically help on a g.n., once again, xda-devs, on the off chance I find someone who is a helpful person, the chances are they will not be helpful with a gn as the phone itself isnt their target audience.
And yes, I realize that this topic is old, but it still deserves love.
Hey everyone! Just a short and simple post that may help some people. I have a YouTube Channel called "JGandroot." I have posted many ROM and root related videos for my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. So if you have the time, then I really recommend checking it out. Sorry if I do not belong here, this is my second post and I am very new. Thanks to all and Happy Flashing!
Hey everyone. I wasn't able to find an irc channel for the galaxy note, so I decided to make one.
I'm going to post this in all of the Galaxy Note 2 sub forums because all our devices are rocking the same hardware more or less so it'll be a nice place for devs to collaborate and for users to do whatever users do.
If you have an IRC client
Just connect to freenode.net, then #galaxy-note-2
