Is there an active mountain bike IRC server? The FAQ mentions a channel name (#mtb), but does not
specify any particular server.

There used to be one many years back, it was run by Greg "SCHeckler". Many AMB'rs would often drop
in there to chat. I actually met my husband in there. Greg dropped out of the scene (I haven't
spoken to him in a long time) and took his server with him and that pretty much ended it.

You burst my bubble. I thought you were the first a.m-b marriage!

Well there are many other free IRC servers out there. Why don't we just pick one and revive #mtb ?

We are the first AMB marriage. My husband is "Jimbosan". We were introduced in #AMB chat, then the
ball just kept rolling from there...

Not that hard to set up a channel on any irc server/network. The trick is if it doesn't have
chanserv is to get some eggdrops inthere to keep the channel active. Also very easy to do though.

If there is enough interest, we can set up a channel on irc.dwarfstar.net.

I've actually found a few #mtb channels on randomly selected IRC servers. However, even the ones
that have several dozen users seem to be completely inactive. OTOH, for all I know, "mtb" refers to
something else completely unrelated.

Greg used to have a bot in the channel that would do that.

If theres interest and if its on a non-chanserv network I have several bots that I could drop in to
keep it active.

Yeah, I knew that, I just thought you met at an a.m-b ride, rather than at #AMB.
