In the last week the only one who I see at SEN's IRC channal is, ugh... me.
In my opinion, people should come there more often, and it's really not that much a problem to add an IRC shortcut on the desktop and click it every time you turn on your PC (or mac).
Comon ppl! keep it full! if it's full there's always what to talk about! and than you can spend hours of pointless chatting with people you don't even know! what can be better than that!?!?
Really tho, just add a shortcut and press it, and once in ten minutes or so check if anyone said anything (or say something yourself).
