I'm lately on irc.icdevgroup.org  approximately 8-10 hours per day. If there 
is someone else online and you say just a line your idle time is increased 
to 4 hours. 

If you don't have a question to ask, but are there to possibly help someone 
with an IC related issue, I can understand that it is perhaps annoying that 
you were online by yourself and while getting a coffee one other person logs 
on and you're kicked out after half an hour. 

However if you are looking for a question and join irc.icdevgroup.org and 
there is nobody in then you will not get your hopes up. On freenode it's 
possible to meet 6 people logged on, but they are all idle for a couple of 
hours and that would be also annoying when you got your hopes up to a 
question :) 

So I'd be glad to see you again on irc, I'll help you get at least a 4 hour 
kickout period ;) 

CU, 

Gert
