Unnecessary IRC channels?
c4ooo:
Well, i meant channels on other networks like Efnet or whatever. I knew you could creat your own channels :P Also we should probobly go back ontopic :P
Eeems: well, as they say, a picture is worth 1000 words ;)

Hmmm... so realistically, if we really had to cull channels, we could probably cull #prizm (zero activity, nobody there at all) and #nspire-lua (I think there isn't too much discussion these days... but I may be wrong). Language channels are debatable... but I think removing channels isn't the big issue here!
More interestingly, I think we forgot to add back a feature ever since we did an upgrade on OmnomIRC - the "Show Extra Channels" option doesn't have an effect! The channels #IRP, #thebot, #nspire-lua, #prizm, and maybe others were part of that option - if you enabled the extra channels, those channels would show up. Otherwise, they would remain hidden.
Moving forward, depending on how much Sorunome/Eeems want to develop this feature, we could have it so that you can pick which channels you'd want to see. In general, I think if there's some usage of the channels, we wouldn't go as far as to remove them - maybe just hide them. These channels don't detract from our main channel, and they definitely have their purpose in our community.
EDIT: Hmm, they seem to work... maybe the default setting isn't set right? I could've sworn that it was off and I saw the extra channels...

That setting should exist, maybe the default is wrong, lemme check. (defaults are configurable ^.^)
EDIT: There we go, for some reason the channels #irp and #thebot weren't extra channels, prolly due to some config update at some point.

mmm, more useful than all of this would probably be an activity indicator on the oirc tab for a given channel, so omnom users can actually tell which channels are being spoken in without having to switch tabs. that way, somebody speaking in one of the less often used channels is more likely to be noticed by somebody and they wouldn't be as useless / unnecessary.
Sorunome:
If your nick is mentioned then the tab turns red, a general activity indicator would mean the server would need to listen to all chans for you, i'm not sure if i like that.....
