I don't care to bother with all that shit in setting up an IRC just to join a room filled with assholes.
If the DS-Scene channel has people like Signs in it that'll kick you soley based on the fact that you don't care to bother setting up unnecessary, then DS-Scene chat must a shitty place to hang out in.
But thats just me. It certainly is a bad impression of their IRC channel if you're a newbie.
