Join TUAW on IRC
There is nothing better than sharing the joy of a Steve Jobs Keynote with fellow Apple fans. That's why several of TUAW's bloggers (myself included) are hanging out in the tuawrocks room in IRC (the server is: irc.freenode.net, channel is 'tuawrocks'). Join us to chat about what we hope to see, the live coverage, and the aftermath.If you're looking for a good OS X IRC client give Colloquy a try.

If you actually want people to join, I might recommend providing a server and a channel and any additional information.

Something's definitely amiss with IRC because none of the freenode.net servers have a tuawrocks channel.

Lol, I was on for a while, but it got up to 340 members, and it was pretty much impossible to read

Wow the channel is like too crowded. Scott you guys might need to moderate it during WWDC keynote.

MacRumors already did, irc.macrumorslive.com channel #macrumors is moderated and in 'auditorium mode' (+u) so that you can't see joins/parts, and only the ops can talk.
TUAW isn't that important and is more like the sister channel, #macrumorschat

Thanks for moderating it Cory lol. All that scrolling text was dizzying.

Yeah... nothing to see there except five hundred people simultaneously connecting and then leaving.

Do /ignore #tuawrocks ALL-PUBLIC-ACTIONS
This will stop the join/leave/nickname change messages etc.

they locked down the tuawrocks channel due to abuse of the file sharing system. for shame.

Keynote style for Colloquy, which hides all the join/leaves annoyances.
