#quisp now resides on Sorcerynet, which is an IRC network specializing mainly in online role playing. However, this is not something we do, unless you count channel residents spontaneously changing their handles to Police Academy characters or Krautrock legends for no rational or constructive reason.

There is something ineffable which binds the channel together and keeps regulars returning to the channel. We're not really sure what it is, but you'll get probably get a sense of it if you hang around long enough. In particular, there are two things we share - a sense of humor, and a love for music.

We tend to value and respect intelligence, wit, humor, originality, and bonhomie. Many of us have met in real life and have grown accustomed to each other's idiosyncrasies. Don't let this make you feel like an outsider. We hope to get to know you as well, unless, of course, you are a complete bastard. In any case, please be yourself.

There is no standard subject of conversation on #quisp, so virtually nothing is off-topic. The most common topic of conversation is music, but you will often find us talking about computers, politics, pop culture, television, and movies.

Most channel regulars have jobs and/or educations (or are in the process of completing their educations), and tend to be between 20 and 50 years of age.

Most regulars are from the United States, with some in Canada, the UK, Australia, and Norway. We welcome people of any age or background, provided that you can represent with a modicum of literacy, self-respect, and respect for others in the channel. We are comfortable with any background, nationality, or lifestyle, and are always eager to expand our little community with interesting, original people.

Channel members drift in and out during the day around their work, leisure, and sleep schedule. Many of us keep our clients connected all the time, breaking up our work or school day with interstitial conversations. It is normal for a few hours to pass at certain times during the day with little or no activity. Conversation tends to be most brisk in the USian evening hours, generally from 23:00 - 07:00 GMT (6:00 PM - 2:00 AM Eastern). We encourage you to join our channel and idle while you work or while you sit in front of your computer doing other things. Occasionally, a vistor is unaccustomed to the fluctuating pace of conversation in #quisp, which can range from hour-long periods of zero activity to a relentless tsunami of text. This is just how it is. #quisp has always been a casual hangout, and regulars frequently multitask. Most will read their (sometimes extensive) backscroll when turning their attention back to IRC after doing other things. Assume that, in time, any questions or comments will be addressed by someone in the channel, though sometimes the answer will come hours later.
