clan chat.

i don't know what to think of it, really.

1. it's a breeding ground for scams, cybering, rule-breaking... so what, go ahead and fester cos there's a 'report abuse' function?

my point (and many others') being that there's absolutely no one around or even able to moderate the chat channels.

2. useful practice for would-be eavesdroppers. such as me. i've learnt 'dropping eaves' ranks much more highly in the pasttime department than 'making a complete fool of myself and by association ruining the reputation of mods in general'.

or you could always term it 'ninja' if you'd go out of your way not to associate yourself with any lower form of espoinage.

3. networking. or social interactions. tbh i don't find listening in much fun at all. in the only chat channel i regularly seek out, i don't know half the people and have too low of an opinion of the other half for it to matter.

4. yeah. it's intended purpose. organising. i've never been in a clan, have been highly advised not to, and don't intend to anyway. so i can't judge how effective it really is in the clan department. the only time i've actually seen it in action, it was posted in response to flaming and abuse made via the channel...

so all in all. apathy's the word. i don't care much for it, and try as i might, i can't actually bring myself to.

there's so many other things more complicated, more important going on in real life. i want to blog about that, not about some irc for preteens.

so bear with me? i'm going to blog about rl right after this. i'd rather appear as a real person to you, and i know this is more important to me right now than anything else rs related, and blogging about clan chat, of all things, isn't going to make it dissapear, isn't even going to make me forget. and come to think of it, i don't want to forget. i shouldn't forget, i should remember.

and be glad.
