I have used irc like here and there for a few minutes over the last few years. I now need to start using it for some people I need to chat with. Problem is, I have always noticed that when I got into a channel, no one is talking. Or at least it appears that way. Certainly a channel of 100 people isnt that quiet. This has always been the case when I checked out irc. Somewhere I saw a brief mention of 'voiceing'. Is this something I need to set somewhere or what? Surely there are some irc experienced people here. Im using mIRC by the way.
