User blog:Sgt. S.S./I just had a very confusing time on IRC.

A few minutes ago on IRC, the others and I were chatting away. Then, Megan asked for "-v". I asked what that was, and I got the answer, "Voice." I liked the idea of that, so I asked what an IRC voice was. I was told, I could make myself heard, while others couldn't. I then asked the fatal qustion: "Do I need a microphone?"

Things went downhill from there. After an initial "WTF", I was subject to a load of stuff like, "AMG U N00B", etc. Someone explained it to me again, Again, I asked did I need a mic. Same result as last time. After I asked a third time. one user actually left the channel because of it.

I understand what -v and +v are now - sort of - but it was a very confusing IRC session for me. :S

Just felt like sharing that with you all.
