Is there an IRC or otherwise real-time Transformers chat somewhere? Sometimes I just wanna talk with like-minded people directly...
Hey, I remember when I asked about something similar a long while back. The closest thing I know of a Transformers related IRC is the Vegas Transformers Club, Facebook page. =D
I used to be a regular at #tfarchive back in the day - this was circa 15 years or so ago though so not sure if it's still going strong, and...although it was called #tfarchive people would talk about pretty much anything and then the most talkative people would get access to another channel where one could seed episodes. Again, this was way back around the time of the launch of beast wars. Let's see...other than that I think there was a pretty active chat at bigbot, but not sure if that page still exist.
Well, seeing as no one knows of one existing currently, I just made one: irc://irc.mibbit.net:6667/Transformers I'm "MisterFanwank" on there. I'll be leaving for work soon, so I won't be on until later.
I was a regular on that channel (under the same user name) a number of years ago myself. Every now and then I remember to check in and there are only a few people there. They had split the chat off to #tfchat and let #tfarchive be the list of all the file servers ftp sites etc.
