I have a QUESTION....
Do we have any sort of chat room kinda thing on here at all? As far as i can see, we dont have one. I dont know if this question has been asked in the past or not.
Another question, if we had a chat room type of thing, would you guys actually use it or are you all too busy studying? hahahahaa

but yeah, I'm down... :)
you guys want me to start one?
you only have to pay for the license IF you don't the 2second pop up screen in the begining when you start up... and anyway, you can find loads of usernames and passwords that work for IRC anyway...
so yeah, it's free...
But I need other people in it too, because I need people to just idle there so that we can get a Q (that's the bot that doesn't let just anyone take over the channel...)
I don't know a whole lot about it yet, or when the changes will happen, but there have been talks about it. And it looks like there is some interest for a chatroom as well, so that may speed things along. :smile:
I say we set up a channel in Undernet, I find it's the most stable.
/me thinks that it'll disturb the activity of the forum. things will be discussed on mIRC rather than the forum, where some people may be left out etc.
what i would actually suggest is at the top, have a little shoutbox thing. i'm not too sure what the technical name really is, but it's a small chatbox at the top of the webpage etc and you can post messages and it updates every time you reload the page. seen it on xanga and other websites etc.
I think if anything it will lead to more threads and more of a community feel that will spring from being able to chat with each other.
At least worth trying out!
Person 1: Hey
Person 2: Oh hi
1: What's up?
2: Not much
etc
etc
etc
That's what chat is good for. Plus, while I talk to some people from this forum on MSN/ICQ, it would be easier for people to meet via chat.
we should get a chat room sooner or later though... ahem admins
what if we use for now, say a joint msn conversation and see how that goes, see how many people will stay in the conversation/idle just like a chatroom before we head into anything serious such as setting up a IRC channel/chatroom.
I dont think it'll take away from the forums at all. Forums are for certain issues that you want other ppl's advise on and what not. Chat rooms are more for just hanging out and chatting to ppl about your day or things that arent really thread worthy (as i think someone mentioned above already).
Im glad its in the works. I can hardly wait! :smile:
Hope everyone has started studying for midterms, they'll be here before you know it.
SHUT UP!
