I agree with Sonyk.

And a few points Stijn made.

- There are plenty of jj2-related discussions but not all the time. Guess why? Talking about jj2 24/7 is boring (guss why #jcstalk is dead).
- Joing an IRC channel requires some more technical skill than browsing this forum (I've lost count of the community members I had to explain it to) and thus it is in my opinion no risk if links to it are advertised here. Ofcourse, jj2.info is something different.
- The sex talk is mostly in a mocking way and if not, go away or accept that sex can actually be a topic of chat. I don't see how it can be disturbing.
- The #jj2 topic has nothing to with the topic of the current chat (when there are several active users there are usually also several active chats, not always related) and is 90% of the time just a joke or at least not meant seriously.
- #jj2 is not in any way related to J2O apart from the fact that people who tend to come here also tend to come to #jj2 and some of the ops there are mods/admins here.
- I hate your guts

As of this comment, #JCStalk has been added to the default channel list on jj2.info.

Yep, right here: #JJ2 :: View Form - User Input
It is true that the topic of conversation in #jj2 often is not related to Jazz Jackrabbit, but realize it is up to the users to decide the topic of discussion. Like Feline had been coming in a few days to talk about JCS94, and that gave people something Jazz Jackrabbit related to talk about. If people brought up JJ2 related topics more often in #jj2, then there would more likely be JJ2 related discussions in #jj2. Otherwise, since there's still a bunch of people in the channel to chat with, they are allowed to chat on any other subject. Sometimes subjects related to sex do come up, but I'd say they come up only as often as subjects related to JJ2, which isn't very often.
If a topic comes up that you dislike, you are free to leave the channel. If you would like to bring up another topic, then bring it up and see if anybody else talks about it.
