I think we're talking about two different irc rfc chat rooms.
irc.networkjunkies.com is brand new to me. irc.hostedfor.us is the
old one that I thought no one was using anymore. NB signed into
network junkies and changed the topic, so I know he was there at one
point.

We used to put a "call" out on rfc letting people know there was life
in the chat room.
