Complaints about the OLD chatroom

e-cue · 21st July 2002, 02:38 PM

I had a paltalk chatroom I used to keep up from time to time (roughly only 10 people a day would show up). Just wondering/requesting a Gearslutz chatroom. Something along the lines of Digichat or the like. However, if this would require gearslutz to charge membership fees, forget I said anything. (just look at what it did the RO)

good plan e-cue

then we can disagree more quickley !!grggt grggt grggt grggt

e-cue · 21st July 2002, 03:05 PM

NO WE CAN'T, I mean, uhm... (so confused)

21st July 2002, 03:13 PM

I will look into it. That might be fun.

Charging? Open a window someone! Pe-uw! madd

We will take a short break while the smell in the control room clears!

(runs for window)

tut

I hereby state that charging is catagorically not going to happen.

I will delete any post and / or ban anyone that refers to it as a punishment for not paying attention. Read it again.

Knew we could count on you Jules...

I don't see why you couldn't use AIM. Just pick a name for a chatroom like Gearslutz. Whenever someone wants to chat, they can put themselves on their own buddylist and click "send chat invitation". After you hit the chat invite botton it has a place for you to name the chatroom. If everyone always types in Gearslutz, everyone will always end up in that room. That would be the free way to do it. Eventually someone will make a buddylist with everyone's name on it and just invite everyone that signs on to AIM as they sign on.

Sounds

A) Confusingly simple
B) a good idea

Diginerd · 22nd July 2002, 06:49 PM

Nasty security risk. :-(

As is IM..

I'll see if I can dig out a web based chat that is:-

a) Free

b) Easy to configure in a fetching shade of violet

c) Easy to use

Jules email me if you want to discuss this further..

This is the best thing I've read all night. Do I have your permission to steal that phrase?

e-cue · 26th November 2003, 03:19 AM

Holy macaroni. It ain't pretty, but it IS kinda cool talking to people in real time.

entropy · 26th November 2003, 03:25 AM

What's with the chatroom..... I only seem to be talking to myself???

HELLO! IS ANYONEONE IN THERE?

Jay Kahrs · 26th November 2003, 03:30 AM

Chatroom!?!

WTF????

Dude, you hanging out on AOHell again with the pervs? I only use it for email, the rest of it has been uncharted territory sine the days of Craig Andertons SSS. And frankly, it's a bit scary.

Jay, you're a moderator, you should b knowing this stuff..... look below the merch button

CV7 · 26th November 2003, 03:38 AM

Mike O · 26th November 2003, 03:41 AM

I am curious to see how this effects posts on the board. I would anticipate a lot of good info being lost to chat, but who knows.....

entropy · 26th November 2003, 03:41 AM

every time i go in, it loads and then times out immediatley.... very frustrating. am i doing something wrong (ie, not doing enough work).
what's the dilly yo?

Marshall Simmons · 26th November 2003, 03:42 AM

happy dance

Mike O · 26th November 2003, 03:43 AM

No problems here, but I see others commenting on it. How are you connected? Dial-up by any chance?

mtsupiano · 26th November 2003, 03:49 AM

Yeah it's there!!

The only downside is that it shows your ISP in quite some detail when you log on and off. but other than that ....GREAT

entropy · 26th November 2003, 03:49 AM

no, broadband

Jay Kahrs · 26th November 2003, 04:49 AM

I just spent about an hour in there. Kinda weird but kinda cool. Just because I'm a moderator doesn't mean I know what's going on!

atticus · 26th November 2003, 05:51 AM

I'm digging the chatroom! What a great time waster!

It is that...

Jason Poulin · 26th November 2003, 07:06 AM

great idea!!

Although, I also agree that precious info/topics may get lost in the chat sessions seeing that they don't get saved.

Anyhow, it will be very interesting to see what comes out with this.

Brandon Nothing · 26th November 2003, 07:10 AM

When I go to the chatroom it just sits there loading.

Ever think about just using IRC for a chat room? I've always liked IRC.

Mike Tholen · 26th November 2003, 07:28 AM

I can't seem to get it to load fully either, I'm using Safari-didn't work...I tried again with the 'block popup windows' enabled and disabled-still no dice.

I also tried using Explorer-still doesn't work! WTF?grudge
damn it.

**DrDeltaM** · 26th November 2003, 12:57 PM

Would be nice to be an IRC channel on Undernet :)

26th November 2003, 01:05 PM

I think Mac's might be having trouble with the chat room, Who cant see it running a Mac?

ME! - (Mac)

The chat room isnt 100% permanent, its a trial period. It will get tweaked! Or switched off, hell, lets have fun with it while its there!

**DrDeltaM** · 26th November 2003, 01:08 PM

I can login and see the users list on the right as well as my bar to type in stuff. But the main part of the screen with the actual chatroom remains empty. After a while i get time-out message.
I'm using Safari.
