i think the RC can run in your system tray, but I'm not sure.

if it can that would explain why so many people just leave it online idly.

Also about the answering questions thing, well, an RC can have over 100 PMs at a time; but for G2k1 if they still dont answer you they're probably too lazy or away.
If there are only 30-40 people on the server, I would think a decent question would get a response in less than a minute.. but in my expierence, it hasnt..
