Back to SILC

I have come to a decision that irc is an elitist chat format, and that only jabber and silc are actually aimed at humans who simply want to facilitate online text conversations and not some means to puff up their nerd egos. Silc doesn't have much in the way of troll-defense systems, nor does it have much in the way of oper control stuff... but what the hell, I don't seriously expect a huge number of people to join my silc server, I just want to run a private silc server providing for the monastic order of chaos and an international clubhouse chat community. I think I'd probably be correct in thinking that, at best, for every clubhouse there is one member or staff who would actually participate.

I seriously doubt that trolling will be an issue so I am gonna stick with silc. The silky client isn't the greatest but gaim can be used too, and being that most users will be on windows, this is fine, and also, there is a silc capable gaim that can be run directly from a removable storage device. I think all I will have to do is create a little web page explaining the ways of accessing the silc server and links to where to get them.

The aim of this exercise is simply to introduce the clubhouse community to wiki and instant messaging. Since I have discovered that there is at least one other geeky person at my clubhouse I think that there must be a good 20-30 people in the global clubhouse community who could form a hard core of globally linked chat/wiki users who can provide the geeky tech influence more cohesively to the clubhouse community, and provide an online social outlet which would otherwise leave clubhouse members with autistic tendencies on the margins without a social millieu to work with that is linked to the clubhouse.

I have no idea whether there is any real point to any of this but what the hell, this is what I am into, and I have sworn to once and for all leave my old chat haven and I still crave chat, so I am going to see if I can create or discover a group of people who are much more in line with my current state of progress. The entheogen/drug scene is not really where I belong, although these things are not entirely out of my life, I never did really fit with the social millieu surrounding it, the healing focus of the clubhouse community is much more in line with my way of thinking, as is the ad-hoc ways of organising action.
