I am familiar with it, it is stable, my copy of mirc was set up for it. It is easy for UT members to get to. I could have used the VFUG chatroom. This is also why the foxwiki is used for the chat logs and not the UT documents sections. Kinda to spread the love out a bit and make it forum neutral.

I have no problem with using the forums, however, I feel that having a specific room for the lectures would have solved some of the problems Wednesday night.

>2) I am not part of the decision making process to implement features, fora, chatrooms on the UT. My position with the UT has been overstated in the last few days. I approve the links and gather news for the main page.

I understand that. I didn't direct my remarks at anyone inparticular. I simply made the comment that I did make a suggestion and it was not implemented.

>3) The Wednesday Night Lectures are not a UT service. This is a personal project of mine. I saw a need and thankfully speakers came forward (yourself included) and presented.

I don't think people have thanked you for this. It's a great idea. As for presenting, I really enjoy giving back to the community. That's how we learn these things and keep the community going.
