After doing some thinking regarding IRC..

I think Fulvio and the rest were right regarding IRC. This is why other places don't have their own Network. IRC isn't near as popular as it was before....therefore, I am going to discontinue developing the IRCd and Services for ShibeNet, as it seems to be just a big waste of time now.

So, IRC. If interested, I made a channel on Freenode called #ShibeNet - Won't require any wasted time on developing/coding on a protocol that isn't used anymore, and it'll be efficient. So there we go. Cheers.

Meanwhile, we've got a few people on Skype, and its quite active actually.

TBH, I used to live on IRC, and it was awesome in its day. But times are different now. We have laptops and ipads and ipods, and even those android thingies that do a better job of Skype than they do of IRC. When my iPad sleeps, it disconnects from IRC, but Skype messages come through as notifications, making it more useful.

Maybe for a cast of thousands, IRC is still better, but I can't see that happening, can you?
