Notes

  • There are rumored to be other chat channels in existence, but they are private, invitation-only channels and don't appear anywhere unless you have access to them. These channels' names are unknown, although one is reputedly called "gazebo".
  • /mensroom and /ladiesroom only existed for a day or so, shortly after public alpha launch and were removed due to enforcement and implementation issues.
  • Performing a whois on Gobberwart once revealed he was in channel RESTRICTED. This confirms rumors of private channels.
