Some may have noticed. Some may have not. There is a user that is basically on 24/7. His name is OmniDragon. OmniDragon is one of the most helpful and caring users on live.pirillo.com! He is always posting links when needed, he is always giving tips, etc. If you have seen him and have questions post about it.
I checked that profile out, and that is definitely him. He doesn't seem to be on the chat right now. I run the IRC chat 24/7 on my computer. I keep up with everyone.
How about not thinking of you as an unofficial moderator. That's the problem with #Chris in a nutshell. To many people THINK they have authority in there when they don't. It doesn't matter how long you've been going in there, or how smart or helpful you are. If people aren't an OP or HOP people need to stop acting like, and thinking that they are.
I rarely go in there anymore because anytime something cool is going on in the stream or if Chris is at a function like SxSW3 etc. People who are knowledgeable and helpful can't participate or chat because the goof balls ruin it, and the OPS are quick to clamp the room down. In other words...Those who go in there an act respectful and contribute with quality statements get shutdown because they aren't voiced. If happens daily so why bother.
