| − | It is possible to get channel backlog for when not logged in by using an [[Bouncer|IRC Bouncer]] that is logged into the channel as your user, and then you connect to this service, rather than directly to the IRC network (libera.chat). It will then replay the channel history since your last visit. There are [https://wiki.znc.in/Providers several znc providers] one can use. The pioneer development team is currently running one for anyone active in the channel discussions and/or in the game development, just ask devs in IRC if you are interested in an account. Once one has been made, follow [[Bouncer|instructions here]].
