[arg_discuss] ARG SIG in 2007

[James Jones]

I vote for IRC as well. I help run an IRC network and I am sure I could get
something arranged.

Being the IRC nerd I am I also "vote" for IRC. I have experience (and 
also run my own IRC network) in getting things like webchats, logging, 
inter-channel connections and whatnot setup. Most corporate firewalls 
don't block packets, like you mention, but rather just the common ports 
(6667, 6697, etc etc). A CGI:IRC  program should be able to solve any 
issues regarding not being able to access through a corporate firewall, 
or even just a random port number being opened for client connections.

But this is all off-topic ;)

Being quite new to the SIG has left me somewhat on the outside of 
things. I'm not a puppetmaster. I've only played (am playing) one ARG, 
that is considered to be out of the ordinary for most ARGs. However, I 
am all for getting involved in the development of ARGs - which is 
probably why I haven't unsubscribed from this list yet. I'll be at the 
chat to lend whatever it is I can to it. :-)
