I don't see a point to it, lowendbox and lowendtalk is a single community, and only split by domain name for the purpose of the different scripts used to facilitate the different goals of the two media, but IRC we can all share in a single location. It's also a plus in my mind that the folks that choose to only visit one or the other site might meet people from other.
Their the same (#LowEndBox = #LowEndTalk
Since I been here Mods have told me LEB != LET. LET is IMHO more welcoming to all where as LEB is a very direct focus, so it'd be nice if a channel for it existed.
same people in both... no need to split
I think whoever told you that meant it as "LEB writers != LET mods"
I have a hard enough time switching between 3 channels...
/me is IRC newb.
That's precisely how I wrote it. He has a habit of only reading what he wants, and ignoring the rest of the text.
Pointless. Same people would hang on both channels. I really don't see a reason for additional window on desktop just to see our nicknames doubled.
Nice for whom?
You're not even on #lowendbox (apart from one or two short visits)...
Spirit I think it'd be more welcoming to everyone interested in budget VPS boxes and not necessarily interested in LEB specifically, but if no ones interested in it np. Also Aldryic this is the last time I address you in any thread, but to be perfectly honest I could care less what you have to say, the second you insulted my family your posts became null and void to me, because I have no respect for people who act like that, none. I may not be the biggest fan of some other users on here but I still read their posts and respect their opinion, but not you. Also I didn't get the LEB!=LET from you I got it from Veteran most likely.
He never insulted your family.
He was saying how he feels SORRY for your family, because they have to put up with you.
Here, read it again:
Can you read that?
Ah, come on @taipres... get real. You really don't have anything better to talk?
We finally filled #lowendbox... and it's actually really ok here and now we supposed to do also /join #lowendtalk.. for what? Go there if you want to, feel free to hang at non-existing #lowendtalk as much you want but stop with argumenting how nice would be 2nd LEB/LET channel without even being part of 1st one.
Go there, make you own IRC channel if you want to but please, give us a break!
NaeN34 him simply mentioning my family is an insult and IMHO a coward move. You just don't talk about a mans family.

I was just shooting out an idea Spirit, if nones interested in #lowendtalk, that's fine. I'm happy LEB channel is filling.
@taipress i think lets wait for the new leb/let from chief.
+1 on @NateN34 comment. He did not insult your family.
So @taipres do we have a point?
I didn't talk about a man's family. Stop crying.
Yo momma wears army boots and smokes a corncob pipe! Nyah, nyah!
You're aware that some day Chief can just come in and ask freenode to close the official channels right?
The only 'safe' option is ##lowendtalk

While that's his option, and he could if wanted, it's not that simple. He has to file something with freenode, I forget the name but they can take months or longer to process to get ownership. I doubt #lowendbox already did that, and hence should really be on ## for unofficial but it's whatever, doesn't matter.
I figured it out. taipres = naruto.
@taipres
Freenode does not require you to become a group contact with them to close a channel.
Freenode also does not require you to become a group contact to run either a # or ## channel. The purpose of # channels: run BY the group, regardless of whether the group has registered with them or not. The purpose of ## channels: run FOR the group or topic, regardless of whether the ones running it have registered with them or not.
Another point they make is that ## is more for topics and # is for groups... but that's a secondary distinction.
Freenode technically wants you to file a grf-f to register a # http://freenode.net/grf-f.php which are official channels. Now because Freenode is unorganized there are many #'s that are registered that shouldn't be on the namespace but rather ##. In terms of #lowendbox

So my guess the guy who registered that channel just did a /msg chanserv register etc...instead of filing a grf-f like he should have, but unless there's an ownership dispute I seriously doubt freenode would even care.
