I was there for awhile yesterday. Probably between about 7-9 (EDT) or so. I
was the only one there the whole time. I also checked in later (12 or so
probably), and no one was there.
I think perhaps there's just not enough people interested in the series it.
I mean, not everyone on the mailing list is going to go, and it seems like
it'd be really hard to find in the mess that id DALnet.
One suggestion is to change it over to espernet. Most of the rooms are
about video games, so it would be appropriate there. I already tried to
start the room, though. I don;t think anyone but me has ever gone it
though....
