My door has always been open, some people choose not to come through it

But again. I dont discourage people to attend the event if they want to, if they watch the simulcast on PSU they will not be able to ask questions anyway.

I think perhaps some have mis-interpreted our intent for simulcasting the dev chat. Some folks have difficulties with technical aspects such as configuring and joining IRC servers. By simulcasting the event to a local channel here at PSU's IRC, we hoped those who might not attempt to reconfigure their IRC client would be able to follow along. It is our intent to increase exposure to the dev irc chat, not divide it as some have suggested. By all means, we encourage those who are capable to tune into the irc server/channel where the dev chat will be held. For those who don't plan on asking questions, or just don't feel they are capable of setting up their client, we have a local channel that will simulcast the event. We fully support Crazymike in all his efforts to bring this dev chat to the community and hope our simulcast will expose the dev chat to the maximum number of people possible.

I agree that it is best to participate in the discussion on the channel where it is set up, but I think Hamma was doing exactly what you recommend by simulcasting it on the psu channel. I dont think it was meant to take people away from the other channel, just that if you are already familiar with that channel then you can see it there too. More places to view the same information is generally a good thing.

I can understand that some people wouldn't understand this, and Oddjob was being a bit rude, or as Hamma stated, "Just registered so you can come take cheap shots eh?" I think its silly to be in competition with anyone else in the Planetside community. Everyone who has a website, or irc channel devoted to this great game can just do their best job of bringing information to the people who want it (and playing exclusive betas

). PSU has taken many screenshots from other sites for its media section, that is the same thing as what it is doing for the upcoming irc chat with SmokeJumper. Think of it as spreading the

EDIT: Uh yeah, basically what Marsman said...

Wow three useless posts containing one smilie. Ok the first one may not have been completely useless, but is it just me or is 50% of the posts here those two smillies?
