Chat-Room Thread

Like old times, maybe we can have a sticky that people can post in to let others know when they're in the chat room? Just a little "In chat now guys"; or even schedule chats..

I figure, if we build up the community spirit - the interaction between individual members, we can boost the amount of activity!

So I'll go first, I'm in chat now guys!

I'm a little bit surprised that there's a requirement to add this ammendment to the thread; but whatever... It's been highlighted that some people are annoyed that the chatroom is not specifically based around one topic. It's worth remembering that this thread itself happens to be located in "Spurious Generalities"; ergo - the chat room is essentially an extension of this part of the forum.

As such, there is no primary topic in chat, and it's a place to freely to talk about what you want. If you don't like the current topic then feel free to change it. It's also worth remembering that users come in regularly, and as such topics are likely to change with different users.

I'm really liking this thread. I'm tired of showing up and seeing that I missed talking to somebody by 5 minutes.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure in the past theres been similar and it worked quite well!

There's nothing better than having a real time chat about things, I think the chat room is a pretty overlooked feature of the forums tbh.

On chat as of 1AM GMT - and likely to be on there for a few hours as I have lots of work to be contending with, and a fair bit of personal admin.

Still in there, but just noticed that the timestamps between the last two posts are 6 hours apart - and I'd been on there for a while before Psy posted...

FML - about 7 hours in a chat room... an empty chat room for a couple of hours at that. :(

I lied, I know... :shock: Actually, I got side tracked and was dragged away before my girlfriend went back to campus.

I am however, online now! Lonely and bored.. :wink:

In the Lounge now. Can people get into the habit of logging out before leaving the computer? I can never tell if somebody is still there or not.

Damn you guys, I was just going to start chatting when you, Urgon and Cyrone left!

Also, the chat app has the ability to do multiple rooms (a la IRC) - I know some people were concerned about privacy as it shows the last messages when a new user enters a room; for 1:1 conversations this is easy to negate by private messaging (also supported by the chat app), alternatively you can just "/join 2938#!" (where "2938#!" is a random string), pass the random string in a private message and have a private group conversation..

phpBB nicknames can also be integrated into it which is pretty cool!

sounds like a good idea actually. An Actual chat room would be a better. That would give faster responses.

There is, in the main Index under the 'Links' section there's a NONET Chat link. We're a globally dispersed bunch so the timezones don't always match up with each other's schedules, but drop in and take a chance. It's certainly become more active as of late (particularly in the morni- well, my mornings at least).

Chat room is still going strong guys!

Also, I've had to make an amendment to the OP - please read it and bare it in mind whilst in the chat-room. It's the place where anything goes, so the thought of drama occurring in what is essentially a "free for all" is pretty annoying for everyone involved. Cheers.

^ What he said. We don't expect people to be serious in the chat, but the capacity to act like a mature individual is expected none the less.

It seems like the chat is acting up again, at least for some of us. I'll be back online around 10pm EST if anyone is interested.
