Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
i.e. move everyone from #moddev to #gamedev, implementation details of doing so do not matter.
Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
And rename #sy to #engine(dev). But implementation sure matters :)
Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
I like #sy. History is important :)
Couldn't care less about *dev though.

Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
maybe there could be aliases to channels, for backwards compatibility. The lobbies could assume "gamedev" and "enginedev" match "moddev" and "sy", respectively.
Joining "enginedev" would be the same as joining "sy".

Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
I don't see why the change is needed (#sy) just to satisfy your current fancy? Seems a pointless waste of time and resources what does it resolve? Nothing imo.
Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
#sy is very non descriptive, although short and nostalgic

You have no idea how much free time I have in the train, this is like a drop in the ocean!
please someone invent a BMI device that I can code with.
Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
@hokomoko so what color are we painting it then?
Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
@hokomoko imo green is the wrong color for that a light shade of blue would be better, and I'm not sure about red, orange may be more visible.
Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
I can neither unregister nor register channels and in the latter case it would not be appropriate for me to manage #gamedev as I am not a game developer. Why is registration limited only to moderators? On an IRC server anyone can register a channel.
Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
you are smart, you can organize it. ask if this is wanted and if so ask the persons who can do it.
registration is limited to moderators because to many stupid channels with stupid topics were registered.

Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
I can't see anything much to gain here. #moddev is likely advertised in several places as "go here for help!" and it probably isn't easy to find+change them all, which is why #moddev was not changed to #gamedev.
Ofc if many gamedevs actually want to move their channel, it can be done, after I've finished painting.

Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
@silentwings ohh painting I wonder what color? Are you sure it's the right choice?
Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
Im definitely developing a mod, so naturally i feel discriminated and raped by naming my home to something that i do not take part in.
Also we need a bike channel - and we could give every channel a ascii art in log(O).
PS: The history is only obvious to the insiders. For all others its, strange

Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
#gamedev? Be serious, that channel is #weed_and_lidl
Re: Request: rename #moddev to #gamedev
#gamedev on discord is quite healthy, so maybe instead of renaming moddev straight to gamedev, first get rid of moddev, then make a new #gamedev.
Code: Select all
mv "#moddev" "#weed_and_lidl"
sleep 1 week
mv "#weed_and_lidl" "#trash"
sleep 1 day
rm "#trash"
touch "#gamedev"
