No, but what's your point?Don't you think it's cool to have an active GNU/FSF person as a member of our group?
Please remove the QR code advert now.NO
It's not your server. You're not paying to advertise on it. You have no right to put adverts to your own services blatantly in-front of everyone like that.
So yes, you had had you nice little IRC channel running on behalf on the group, and we thanked you for it, but when it became unreliable and we, the group decided to move elsewhere, rather than just accept it (or even breathe a sigh of relief that you now no-longer have to provide the service!) you threw your toys out of your pram and are now causing a lot of hassle for everyone else.First of all, no one thanked me for it... all I ever got was "it's broken", "fix it" and similar kinds of comments...
Yes. that's because it was broken more often than not. To the point that Paul even moved his own website off your server because he could not get in touch with you when it was broken. No-one could. You'd vanish for weeks on end, then pop-up and say oh yes, I've rebooted it, then vanish again.
So grow up for goodness sake. Either stay with us, or go somewhere else. Stop pretending that DCLUG is the "one" channel - it's not, it's just one other channel on Freenode. The majority of us are using #DCGLUG as that's what the group is called. Right now: 16 people in #DCGLUG, 8 in #DCLUG. Including your stupid Tux bot which was the main reason I left your server in the first place - you demonstrated just what an idiot you were by handing Jon Davey the "bomb". Gee, thanks. After coaching to get onto IRC, he comes online for the first time ever to get help with the Raspberry Pi, and the first thing you do is hand him a kick-bomb and not knowing what happened he doesn't re-join.
Some people have no sense of humour...
That's not humour, it's ignorance on your part. How was someone totally new to IRC supposed to know that was a joke? Pretty silly joke too - you'd already pissed Paul off with it.
Hope you're happy with that.
With some people having no sense of humour ? not particularly...
Shame on you. Jon's never been back to IRC.
At least there are some of us here willing to genuinely help - FWIW: I asked Jon to post his SD card to me and then I did the install, setup, etc. and posted it back to him. What did you do? You kicked him out of your IRC channel. Fat lot of use you are.
"I know, I'll join an IRC channel, discover who is in charge and then provoke them..."
Sorry - where's that quote from? I don't recognise it. Is that your plan?
What was expected really ?
I don't know. I've no idea what you're on about.
Same for Grants email earlier:On 04/23/13 09:35, Grant Phillips-Sewell wrote:Is there any way to show the number of users in a channel from the website?To which you replied:Yes...fat lot of help that was. Why did you even bother to reply?
It was an accurate reply was it not ?
Well done. Yes, it was accurate. Correct to the point of pedantry.
Had the question been "Is there a way to show the number of users in a given channel, and if so how ?" that would have had a reply along the lines of "Yes, and we can achieve this by installing additional modules in to Drupal and configuring it as required"
I'm lost for words here.
So I'm asking you now: Join in, help, support, spread. Be part of it or stay out of it. Lurk, hide, whatever, but if you want to be an active part of it (editing the website, etc.) then do it constructively or stay away.
I think you will find that I have been an active part of the group for a hell of a long time... see references to the first page of the list archives.
So you keep saying. So what? You're not active now and you're not contributing.
If you do not want to be constructive then I feel that you have no right editing the website at all. So join us. Be part of it. Bring your expertise into the group. Share, help, educate because that's what we're for.Indeed, that is what WE are here for... I have never said otherwise.
Then stop being an arsehole and join in. Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
