Hi,

Bye, Carolin

Hi,
FWIW, #tor seems to slow down way on the weekends, even when left -R. That doesn't mean we should ignore the people that _do_ show up on the weekends, however.
If we want a bot to do something, I'd be willing to write and/or run it. pastly_bot is going to need some more features anyway if we're going to keep #tor -R more than we already do.
Also, don't let me unnecessarily turn into an IRC thread ;) Roger mentioned the mailing lists and blog comments too.
as one of the volunteers who is also hanging around on irc during this mentioned times, I made the following experiences:
- at weekends, in generally, there is nearly zero traffic. Both tor
people and others.
- but during the week, the most tor people are present during
American daytime, but within the other times not. => That's not nice.
I already have had several times the situation that somebody appeared on irc, looking for tor people, no developer was around, so I "jumped in" and said "hello". :)
Although I couldn't help much they seemed to be very happy that they received a reaction by an human and not only a bot. => So, I understand if nobody wants/or can do this every weekend and maybe a bot would be an easier solution, but people are really thankfully if they get some attention from a human and not only a machine. We should cultivate our tor friends by giving them the attention which they earn. ;)
Bye, Carolin
