The #fpc,#lazarus-ide and #pascal channels on the Freenode IRC network have been refurbished. Two vicious trolls who were allowed to remain for far too long have been banished . FPC developers have returned . Thank you developers!
These recent changes have enhanced the quality of the conversations in IRC quite a lot.
If you are one of the unfortunate people who were discouraged from coming to IRC by the trolls it is now safe to come back. If you have never been to IRC before, there is no better time than right now to join in on a fun opportunity to learn more about Pascal .
These channels offer everything from advanced technical discussions about the fpc compiler to friendly casual chats with other Pascal enthusiasts from around the world.
There are quite a few things that can be done with Lazarus and FPC and nobody knows everything. Therefore, the more knowledgeable people that join the better the channels can be.
