Could somebody, anyone explain me what this bs is all about?!
You decided to spam the other chat and that was your reason to move somewhere else?!
EDIT: @Riven: The fact that you feel the need to apply the concept of leadership here tells quite a bit about your personality, don’t you think so?
No seriously, more a technical than a formal issue here. (One that didn’t actually exist though.)
I meant to pastebin a shader, but accidentally posted the whole thing in chat. People immediately started spamming the chat with “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”, and snippets from the shader. Heroesgrave says to me:
<HeroesGrave> paste it again <wessles> OH <HeroesGrave> for the lols
So I paste it again, “for the lols”. This time, with line numbers from the previously made hastebin.
<HeroesGrave> stop it <HeroesGrave> .dance <wessles> I ignored xD <NegativeZero> rip #IRC <HeroesGrave> no more flooding please <HeroesGrave> Why didn't Jeviny appoint a new OP <_Swords> I think he pasted 1 - 100 or something <wessles> You told me to do it. <_Swords> Where is jeviny <HeroesGrave> dead
* .dance is a command for the xD bot, and it makes an emoticon dance. I had ignored xD, so you won’t see it.
A second, larger wave of spamming comes. Everyone joined in (myself included), due to the bandwagon effect.

All of this goes on for a few minutes. Then people start wanting to elect new ops and migrate:
`
I vote to make a new IRC and SHC be the OP
everybody who is flooding please restart your clients
everybody who is flooding please restart your clients
I think we should have three OPs
everybody who is flooding please restart your clients
dammit
We all joined the new channel and, from there, went to #java-gaming on freenode. And so far, there has been peace. There are now two operators so that the Jeviny incident doesn’t happen again.
Before anyone gets mad that we spammed the channel to hell and got a new one, know that this was definitely going to happen one way or another. Jeviny, the only mod, was barely on and never appointed another mod. So, as @Riven put it, we were “a bunch of kiddos desperate for a leader.”
Fun-fact: Jeviny pointed out that this happened on the anniversary of the IRC channel.
This is even better more nonsensical than The Lord of the Flies.
One person leaves, the remaining handful of people can’t help themselves and immediately lapse into chaos.
The main issue is that the person who left was the only one who had control of the channel.
Jeviny actually left two or so weeks ago, but it was only a matter of time before things got out of hand and moderation was required. I’m surprised something didn’t happen sooner.
Or 5 people could act sane?

If only. It shouldn’t have been necessary at all, but apparently some people will just go crazy if given the chance.
I agree with Riven here…
I like the re-organization in #java-gaming on Freenode. I’m an op now along with LiquidNitrogen, NegativeZero, and OceanAshedragon. We will make sure to keep things more mature and in check. Riven could you add this channel to the banner or the side bar?
I agree, the new channel feels much more legitimate and official, I vote we have a link for it on JGO somewhere.
We’ll even play nice and not ban Riven when he uses it. 
Isn’t it common knowledge that the worse a group of people behaves, the tougher the leadership should be? A criminal organisation is pretty much run like an army or it’d fall apart – and introducing democracy through war is destined to fail, but I digress in an utmost uncoordinated manner.
I don’t know how this relates to my personality, but sure, whenever there is anarchy, your cute fluffy overlord’s hands get itchy. What would happen to JGO when it were to be ruled democratically - one can only assume the worst. These kiddos need a leader! (which is what happened and all is fine now)
@Rayvolution: whenever I get banned from #java-gaming, I will resume my eternal slumber in #jgo. It’s the official channel, you know, and plugging it on JGO years ago didn’t do diddly-squat. :emo:
I tried convincing them that #jgo was the official one but they had all already settled in #java-gaming… and honestly I prefer #java-gaming to #jgo. You should continue our eternal slumber with us now! :point:
Also, the channel is alive and well now, so plugging it now will definitely help it more than plugging it when it was in its infancy.
EDIT: Bug with SMF? That emoticon is supposed to be right after the ‘now!’
I see the smiley. You were probably on your mobile and the image hadn’t been fully downloaded yet.
Woo new record for people online at one time!
@LiquidNitrogen @ra4king @Agro @Elsealabs @Drenius @Elusivehawk @HeroesGrave @Goldragon @Kingroka123 @Longor1996 @LostWarrior @Rayvolution @Xemdo @wessles
I was wondering how in the hell Riven made this forum detect my username inside an image for mentions then I noticed your trickery :point:
Was about to come here and say the same thing. :o
Still though, in the gamedev world with most objects a Queue really wouldnt be flexable enough
i’m just not sure why an arraylist’s supposed flexibility is the deciding factor here
i could just make every single field public
and say “it’s ok, i know which ones i should treat as private”
“this is more flexible”
i make everything public AND static 
LiquidNitrogen is my favourite. [spoiler]the above was edited for brevity[/spoiler]
Hoorah! Riven this is the best time to advertise the channel here!

The IRC hasn’t been growing too much recently, but we’re at 23 people right now.
In other news, Rayvolution is now an OP, meaning the OPs consist of myself, ra4king and Rayvolution.
@Riven, we would be very appreciative if you added a little “Join #java-gaming on freenode” somewhere on the site.
I started coming on the IRC and then left D: totally forgot about it. It was good fun, had some nice chats. I’ll try to jump on more :persecutioncomplex:
