OCAU has a channel - #overclockers - on the Oz.Org network, frequented by roughly 100-140 OCAU'ers at any given time. Several of OCAU's admins can be found on IRC at most hours of the day, including Sciby, Bern, Voodoo, TheWedgie, Andypoo, Manaz, Sabretooth, Wolfy, and others, including Agg. Feel free to say hi to them or anyone in the channel. :)
The Topic Game
The Topic Game is a time-honoured pastime, using channel conversation to provoke amusement or personal embarassment by manipulation and insertion into the topic of the #overclockers channel.
The Rules
1. The topic is to be comprised of quotes from the relevant channel.
2. Quotes from other sources (i.e., other channels) are not acceptable.
3. Editing of quotes may only remove material from the end of the quote, not from the beginning or the middle.
Eg: Original quote <Nickname> I really enjoy jumping and singing offkey.
Correct: <Nickname> I really enjoy jumping
Incorrect: <Nickname> jumping and singing offkey.
Incorrect: <Nickname> jumping and singing
Timestamps may be removed or left intact at the discretion of the topic setter, although they are generally removed to save space.
The more coherant and seamless the topic, the more respect will be given to the topic setter.
(Note: Topics may only be set by users with channel operator status).
In addition to the #overclockers, there is also the #refuge room on the same server. If you feel you could get banned for saying what you wanted to say in #overclockers, your best bet is to remain in #refuge. #refuge is pretty much an open room with very lax moderation, the only thing that applies is common sense (ie, illegal talk or just outright spamming the channel is not cool). Things that are welcomed on the otherhand, which are frowned upon by #overclockers are: MP3 annunciators (used sensibly), text formatting (colours/styles), slightly rude images are ok, as long as they're legal, and marked Not safe for work or NSFW! In a nutshell, it can be considered, that #refuge is an IRC version of the pub, whilst #overclockers is best for serious disucssion. You must also be warned though, that #refuge can be a little offensive at times, this is normal. If you are offended, you would be better off leaving, rather than starting a pointless flamewar on #refuge!
