[Freeswitch-users] Please end the torment

[Ben Holtsclaw]

The problem with take-a-number is what if I'm not there when someone can answer it?

The bot even takes people's question and keeps them in list so when someone that knows shows up he can answer it, thats the ~take-a-number option...

I have been trying to push all the social talk into #freeswitch-social to keep #freeswitch on topic.. sometimes after hours in the US it gets a bit off topic.  I'm usually alive in the channel till around 11PM+ CST most days.  I take questions and answer questions at all hours if I'm awake... I too am guilty of going off topic.

I agree with Harry. I do not like the mailing list. Those that do like the mailing list always advocate Nabble. For those that advocate that solution, do you even realize that you can't post on Nabble unless you are subscribed to the mailing list? I am also not a fan of IRC. Before I came upon FreeSWITCH, I hadn't used IRC in years! I think I uninstalled my IRC client at the same time I uninstalled my NNTP reader. Most of the time, I actually find it difficult to obtain support in the #freeswitch channel. Once you ask the question, if somebody doesn't happen to be there that knows the answer, then you're screwed. How many times have I asked a question only to wait 30 seconds and then see, "anthm has joined #freeswitch." Crap...do I ask the question again? I have found the conversation in #openzap to be much more focused. Thank goodness I'm using that module! In that channel, I never see conversations about cd burners, somebody's girlfriend in South America, or off color jokes about someone's sexual proclivity. And because I know I'll get flamed for saying that, just look at this:

 
[23:10] <{tasker}> me, too, but i'm a different animal
[23:10] <{tasker}> in NY and in Miami i went nutz
[23:10] <diegoviola> lol
[23:10] * jefferai is now known as lollerai
[23:10] <diegoviola> yeah i love her
[23:10] <{tasker}> latinas everywhere
[23:11] * lanwifie (n=Sami at 99-196-39-200.cust.wildblue.net) has left #freeswitch
[23:11] * jjg (n=jjg at 76.21.4.40) Quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[23:11] <hmmhesays> here its blond blue eyed girls
[23:11] * lollerai is now known as lolferai
[23:11] <rpm> brazilians... hopefully she's hot. i've seen some pretty dodgy looking chicks from there
[23:11] <{tasker}> diego: go back, buy her a ticket and tell her, "yeaaaaaaaaah, it's just for a few days"
[23:11] * martyn-dev (n=martyn-d at 190.26.4.61) has joined #freeswitch
[23:11] <{tasker}> blonde / blue eyes are overrated
[23:11] <{tasker}> give me a latina any day
[23:11] <hmmhesays> best thing around here though

If I'm going into #freeswitch at 11pm at night, it's probably because I really need some help with some problem I've run into after hours. Can you imagine me injecting a question about a SIP profile into that conversation??
 
ALL that aside... I'm willing to use a carrier pigeon if that's the way the three primary developers wish to communicate. They have been instrumental in getting my project where it is today. You know the saying... beggars can't be choosers.
