I don't know if channels on quakenet are needed for other games such as TF2, but they are a requirement for joining Enemy Down for CSS.

So as a small request can everyone (even if you are not involved with the gaming teams) please be so kind as to idle in #atkcss1 this can be done by using either an IRC client such as mIRC or Chatzilla, or you can use the Java IRC built into the website. To join from the Java IRC, simply type "/join #atkcss1" (without the ") and just leave it as that.

Thanks for everyone who does this, and remember IRC is so old it uses no system resources whatsoever so it can easily be left running in the background!
