Well I just stayed up 3 hours later than I planned to read all 36 (34 when I started) pages of this thread. I eagerly await the payoff.

Ok guys. For those of you who are still up over here on our side. I'm going to step away and get some sleep. Once again, if something changes with FedEx, or something serious happens at the drop, please call me. If anything like this happens an email form the mark is sure to follow. I want to have it up as soon as possible.

Thanks again.

I imagine somewhere a turned off mobile phone is getting phone calls requesting that he pay his import tax bill. I have had letters requesting I pay import tax before, so maybe if they can't get through on the phone they will send a letter. This could be a long weekend; Monday is a national holiday in the UK!

If you can log into an IRC server and /whois yourself, then you'll have (one of) the IP address(es) that this internet cafe uses. Wonder if they route everything via a Romanian proxy server :)

Hardware keyloggers.. good idea

Check the back of the computer.. look at the keyboard wire. If there is a hardware keylogger, the keyboard will be plugged into a patch cable before going into the PC.

IRC

Information posted by Scaramouche on March 30, 2004
As a warning those entering #somethingawful expecting light-hearted SA type conversation, you will be disappointed. The channel is occupied by the infamous Al (see; Al) who usually kick bans anyone who mentions SomethingAwful or the forums unless you know him from the days of yore. The "unofficial" channel is #sa.

Information posted by Zephro on February 18, 2004
Debate and Discussion's IRC Channel (see: Klavern) is at #currentevents on Zirc.

Information posted by hannibal on February 16, 2004
It should be noted that ADTRW's de facto channel is not on zirc, for no particular reason. It is:

#raspberryheaven@irc.mircx.com

and is mostly on this network because many other anime fansubbing groups are on this network as well.

There is an #adtrw on the same network, but it is for Studio ADTRW (https://www.adtrw.org) and not general discussion.

Information posted by Zakharov on February 15, 2004
The Walrus forgot #sas

Information posted by Naar on February 14, 2004
#partyhard has somehow become the Trad Games channel.

Information posted by Jamesface on February 14, 2004
Permabanned posters invariably end up on IRC spouting ridiculous conspiracy theories about the forums.

Information posted by The Walrus on February 13, 2004
All of SA's IRC channels are on the ZIRC network (irc.zirc.org)

As far as I know, all of them are:

#sa
#somethingawful
#fyad
#idlegames
#shsc
#crackhouse
#nmp3s
#dpph
#btb

If I'm forgetting any, let me know.

Information posted by Char on February 12, 2004
Short for internet relay chat, usually used to refer to the goings on in an IRC channel.

IRC is blamed for lots of drama on the forums, but nowadays is just a bunch of people talking random crap about anything. Despite what you may have heard, there is no longer a secret IRC cool kids club plotting devious things in the forums, and any references to such a thing are in jest.

Edit: drat, thought that had the info. I found out that there's irc.somethingawful.com:6667 that I went to a while ago, maybe it's that?

No, they don't generally get lost, or cost more. One of my best friends lives in the Philippines, so it was hard to call each other without our parents going apeshit, so we'd just txt all the time. Same for my friends in England and The Netherlands. They cost the same as regular messages.
