What is the most important IRC channel about electronic issues ?

[OpenglMan]

Well , According to the subjet, does anybody know any interesting IRC channel ?

I have seen #hackaday in freenode, but with very few people.

#eevblog gets some action
irc://irc.afternet.org/#eevblog

thanks kc9qvl,

I have used qwebirc.afternet.org to connect to that channel, but I obtain the following message:

ERROR: Closing Link: by London.UK.AfterNET.Org (Sorry! Your connection to AfterNET has been rejected because of your internet address's poor reputation. You may try an authenticated login using Login-On-Connect (LOC) instead. See http://afternet.org/rbl for more information.)
[02:45] == Disconnected from server: Connection to IRC server lost.

What is wrong ?

Someone was obviously banned from using that address to access the afternet servers, due to being dodgy.

As for *BIG* electronics chat IRC channels, Freenode also has the ##electronics channel, which at this current moment in time is filled with 582 people...

Thank you very much kizzap, it seems very interesting and useful
