I'm new here and am trying to teach myself sys admin skills. When I found AntiOnline I thought "Finally , a place where I can hang with others who are interested in IT and many are better educated than I."

Thought I would hit the IRC and just watch what everyone was talking about. I was a little surprised to see as much "off topic" as I saw.

I'm not "boring" enough to think that ALL that get discussed it networking/security... this is a community and of course the topic is going to stray. People are going to have fun, talk about what they want (happy, sad, angry, lewd, frustrated etc...).

But I'd hate to get "pushed out" of a chat channel just because I brought up something on topic. As it is, it takes a little courage to talk with you all when I'm a newbie.

And a little courage to post !
