Either http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/MOO or
http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/woof or
none of the above.
Rumor has it they're just alternative ways of greeting people to the channel than the more pedestrian "hi" or "o/" ...
YMMV

Gee...since I drop in now and again in the puppy-oriented IRC channels(There are more than one), and pose questions and receive help....I don't consider myself a troll....but since you've labeled me, by extension, as one, can you forward my official Troll Badge?Rupp wrote:You should stay out of there though. They are nothing but trolls.

sarcasm guys. Rupp fights the trolls along with the rest of us. We try to keep them at bay, but they do show up. The IRC channell is a place where you can recieve help.You should stay out of there though. They are nothing but trolls.
And moo and woof are just ways of saying hi, i'm back. if someone moos at u, moo back. us wolves are friendly like that.

thing i think need to be changed
we should reamp IRC then have ppl that are there as devs and make questions more askable in there like ##linux , ##windows, and #Ubuntu it would maybe make puppy linux the next top linux distro =)
look if ppl really want to see how we do things let them use their irc chat apps we are
server:freenode
channel:#puppylinux
and we are always welcoming newcomers to the channel.
if they want ous to change let them vote and start a more offical thread

are we who we think we are? or is this all a lie thought up by people whom we can not see?

We already are - for our users.the next top linux distro =)
Next year I expect us to be a top 5 distro
The IRC channel has moved on from when it was started
The form IRC takes is entirely dependent on the users
Just as the direction Puppy takes is entirely dependent on those doing the coding
If you want less trolls
offer a better level of support and info
Go hunting. It is open season - just click on chat on the desktop
And if you are a troll
Thanks for trolling

I agree. There may be a few trolls there now and again, but many of the people labeled "trolls" in the channel are actually some of the best people this OS has, willing to spend many hours of their day helping others with their problems. I myself am often on the line ALL day and well into the night, sometimes as late as 2am. And I'm usually back on first thing in the morning when i get up. We do it because we love Puppy and want it to grow.
If you have had a bad experience in the channel, maybe you should look at what happened more closely. If you come with bad language and a bad attitude first off, you're gonna get pwned. This is not a paid tech support line, but a bunch of people just like you who do it for the love and no money. The golden rule applies greatly to the channel. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Come like a jackass, get treated like a jackass.
As for the troll badge, I'll wear it proudly. Thanx diego.
