This year Desert Bus is changing our chat system. Instead of running our own IRC server, we will be using Twitch‘s larger and more stable chat network.
What does this mean for you?
Otherwise, bidding works exactly the same as last year.
For those of you that prefer web chat over an IRC client, we will be using Twitch’s embedded chat on our site.
For those of you that prefer IRC clients over web chat, you can find instructions for connecting to Twitch’s chat here.
Subscriptions will NOT be required for anything.
We think this is a good move because:
As with any new venture, we understand that there may be some challenges, however, we feel that the benefits of the additional stability and ease of access that Twitch’s chat offers outweighs the risks. We will do everything we can to keep the Desert Bus chat that we all know and love running as smoothly as possible; it’s full of some of the most creative, inventive, and ridiculously silly people we know.
Desert Bus chat is the best chat, no matter who hosts it.
