It's just a lot of the folks on here seem to be on the other side of the big water.

i think it's about time for water to stop getting between our friendships.

I notice you forgot your paddle again...
Seriously, is this from the part of the movie where Napoleon gets exiled to Ibiza and hangs around doing junk with the Velvet Underground?
Never mind...

Obvously there are two of us who would make use of a chat room. [eek]

Is the on forum link not working?

[Edit:Just checked,it's fine]

We have a chat feature on here,as quoted,it's at the top on the index legends.

I avoid chat,mostly because my real time typing is not pretty,or very legible either. [blush]

In fact,I just went and turned my FB chat back on,cos this post reminded me...oops.I am a chat clutz.

I might if there was someone in it. That or I suppose we could just all get on some Instant Messenger-type program....or Skype.....or something.

I'd really just have to learn teleportation if the only other option is a canoe. I hate boats. I'd be terrified a shark was going to eat me the whole time.

But, sharks don't ride in canoes...
There's a chat dingus on here?
Really?
Wow. I guess I should pay more attention.
Imma go look see...

Haha.Yes,there's a dingus,we cunningly hid it in plain sight,so nobody'd notice... [rofl] [shock2] [greensmile]

I was up all last night as my sleep schedule is wacked out and likely to stay this way for while,so I can join in on chat,If I know someone's around to talk with.

I can work the dingus ok,but you should all be aware my typing sux big time,so be warned...!

Cleverly disguised as a Chat button no less.

I knew it was there, but every time I've tried it, it was empty (except maybe some looming mods).

I used to drop in occasionally, but other than running into Case once or twice I never saw anyone there, so I stopped bothering. I'll idle for a few days for shits and giggles so drop by and say hey if I happen to be online [gz]

I did a couple of times yesterday but you were away both times. :)

A Question for our Decapod Overlords:

Is there a widget or something that can go on the home page which would indicate whether there is anything other than a few rats and a passed out gluehead in the chat room?
I dunno if such a thing is possible, just a thought, really... But it occurred to me that more folks might pop in there if it weren't such a chore to access.*

Also, some method of alerting lurkers when other people are in the channel, talking? I've been idling there for the last day or so when I'm on my comp, but unless I check the window every few minutes I'm liable to miss anyone who drops by, says a word or two, gets no response and bails. Not sure if that's possible or not, but it would result in more people hanging out there while doing other things online, I think.

Temporary solution,at least.

Needs a bot in the channel to accomplish this, what kind of info do you want it to show? Who's on now and.. if anything has been said in the past 5 minutes kinda thing?

It's quite doable, I actually have an IRC bot I wrote that'll talk to a mysql database, so, half the job's done there :P What server and channel? The one on Blitzed?

What about a scheduled chat time for different time zones?
