Hello Guys, This post contains brief information about the growth of The Unofficial AutoIt Channel .

The No. 1 thing that happen over time is the growth of the userbase, its eventually bound to happen. I have many people come and go, But I am sure that I have seen atleast 15 people until now. If you ask right now, there are 10 people (excluding 2 bots) in the channel . I am sure we will get more users as the time flows

The second most big thing is my bot, DcoderBot. I made him in my free time (which is very less because of my ongoing project) but he has proven to be quite useful . Probably the most used feature is that DcoderBot's ability to google something and return the result in the chat itself! Now no more googling in the browser!

The third fact is nothing but stability of the channel, I have not received any spam since @JohnOne's troll session . ##AutoIt is now a established channel on freenode.

 

Plans for the future:

The first thing I am thinking about is improving DcoderBot by implementing a Plugin API and make some nice plugins , @willichan is already planning to fork DcoderBot and make a IRC Bot to play chess! How exciting is that!?

The next (probably the most important) thing is a well defined set of rules for ##AutoIt.

The last most important thing is attracting more users! ##AutoIt has positively influenced many people in the vast network of freenode, Heck, we even have some people who are *just* interested in AutoIt!

 

Well I think its time to end this post. Stay tuned for the future updates... or if you are not patient enough, you can try out ##AutoIt for yourself! Its easy and fun! Trust me! . If you are new to IRC, don't worry, I have got you covered, Just follow my guide located here and once you successfully join ##AutoIt, I can guide you from there on .

 

Hope to see ya guys in ##AutoIt, TD
